When you just “know” you’re not pregnant....

Question

Glow has my period being five days away, and another app i use just to track my period has me at two days away....Although we BD on all the right days, I just know I’m not pregnant. And for the first time I’m okay with it. In a way I of course wish i was pregnant, but I left it up to God. If it’s my time it will be, If not then fine. I just wanna enjoy life without worrying about peeing on ovulation tests and pregnancy tests and praying for even the faintest of lines. But not this cycle.

Answer

I have 2 children and got pregnant last October with our 3rd and we were ecstatic. I don't get pregnant easiliy at all so it was a miracle. I lost the baby during Christmas at 13 weeks after we had a healthy 12 week scan the week before. Devastated us, crushed us. I spent every minute after the loss stressing with OPKs, testing, worrying about my fertile time, driving my husband nuts with "get your ass home right now I'm fertile". Every negative test was just  soul crushing. Well In March after my period ended I decided not to stress or test anymore. We had sex every other morning after my period until I was supposed to start again, no opks or anything else. When it was time for my period to come again I felt cramps so I knew I was out. I was actually ok with that. Then 4 days go by and no period so I finally take a pregnancy test, BFP! I'm 9 weeks now. It  finally happened when I accepted reality and relaxed. Good luck to you. Your time will come, continue being humble.

Answer

I feel your pain. I feel like that every cycle, when after a few days into the tww you just know it didn’t happen. It gets exhausting symptom spotting and waiting and wondering for two weeks to be disappointed over and over. I’m with you! If it’s in God’s plan for me, so be it. If not, I can’t keep living every month putting myself through emotional torture.

Answer

I'm with you sister! I will not let my life be consumed by this! Too many other wonderful things in life that aren't worth missing. I had a MC in March, but aside from tracking on the app, I'm not doing anything else. And we get down when we feel like it, not necessarily when it's recommended. God's plans are good enough for me. Best of luck to you!
