This really isn't a question. I just need to vent to someone, and I really don't have anyone to talk to about this.
I am 25 and I came off of Depo about 2 years ago. Since then, my cycles have been extremely irregular. My husband and I really want another child (our daughter is three) but we just aren't having any luck. My doctor said that we are both perfectly healthy and we shouldn't have any problems concieving after Feb. (18 months after stopping Depo). So, we haven't worried about it, or really tried to help conception along...other than stay healthy and have sex.
Well, today is day 39 (counting from beginning of last period) and I don't have my period. Not bleeding, no spotting, nothing. I've had long cycles before (they fluctuate between 29 and 35 days), but nothing like this. I started to get hopeful....my breasts hurt, I've had cramping and backaches, headaches, I've been tired, hungry and really, really, REALLY emotional. I thought it was PMS but it's been 2 weeks since my first symptom (sore breasts, which I normally don't get with PMS) and still nothing. Sunday I took a pregnancy test which came up negative. So I waited until this morning and took another one...negative. They are First Response Early Detection, and with their sensitivity I know they can't be wrong.
I started crying. I can't stop crying. I didn't realize how SURE I was that I was pregnant until I saw that negative this morning. I mean, I still kind of feel like I am, as silly as that is. And I guess I didn't realize how much I want another baby. It's frustrating to feel like I can't get pregnant at 25-y-o, especially since my daughter was a Pill baby!! And I know my husband is going to be sad too.... if my cycle is this long, I probably didn't ovulate. I'm just so upset and I don't know where to go from here!!
