BFN at 13dpo

I think I'm ok. I somehow "knew" this on Wednesday (10dpo). And while I obviously didn't want to be right, I did go through most of my sadness (and crazyness) then. Now I just want to get off the progesterone hoo-hah bullets as soon as it is safe/as soon as I can, and get my period, and start the next cycle ... But, wow, this is tough.

Anonymous said...: I'm sorry. I remember being really shocked by how tough the first cycle was. In my experience, they don't really get any easier but at least the second (and 3rd...) time around you're not contending with the unknown anymore.

Seeing you lots of warmth and love.; February 23, 2008 at 8:59 PM
