Boo! Not this month

First post on here for me! Just wanted to rant a bit about disappointed and false hope. Been using Glow this month and love reading all the posts of others and the community spirit here!

My husband and I have been ttc for three months for our first. My cycle duration varies, but oddly enough starts on the same date each month (first 5 months this year started on 28th, last two have been on 24th - it's been going back and forth for last year and a half).

This month the 24th came and no AF, and I'd been feeling extra tired and had an outbreak of acne (never do!). I was feeling hopeful and I took a clear blue digital countdown PT which came back negative. :( I was so disappointed but my hubby told me to wait and see (being really hopeful himself). The 28th came and still no AF but this month had several stressful events, so I was going to wait until tomorrow to test again. Sadly, I woke up with excruciating cramps announcing AF.

Just wanted to write down my frustrations! I know we've just started (married this May!) and I'm only 22 so we have time. I'm just worried some health problems I have might hurt fertility (boo to celiac disease and internal damage!). I just hope it happens soon! My poor love has been so disappointed with BFNs- he can't wait to be a dad.

Baby dust to all! 🙏
