EPT tests didn't work & now AF :'(

Just wanted to share that my DH & I were active this month EXCEPT 3 days when I felt shooting pain on left side (we assumed it was implantation pain so we refrained from the deed). After 3 days we were active till today today when AF visited. Now I'm thinking those pains were because I was ovulating & missed that window. Was feeling so excited & hopeful that this would be the month. AF isn't helping either because I feel so sad today. Guess the plan for next month is to not assume. #call this the venting/crying thread. BB dust to all ladies! :'( ​✨✨✨✨✨
