Hi Anne. I've been going through this for 7 months. I know how you feel. Last month I had a major bummer when AF showed up 6 days late. I went through several negative HPT's and a negative blood test that about made me cry. It was so depressing. I am a lady in waiting once again as AF is due today.

Conditions were perfect to have conceived and still nothing. I had myself convinced and obsessed the last two weeks with the thought that I was finally pregnant. Obviously, I wasn't. About that time I found out a friend of the family is pregnant. I don't see her that often and haven't for maybe 2 months. I've adjusted from last month, but I still have no interest in seeing her now slightly-showing pregnant body. It's just a fear until I do happen to see her.

There are reminders everywhere that we aren't pregnant. I know sometimes it seems like everyone else in the world is pregnant or just had a baby. Try not to get too obessed. Continue to try and tell yourself that AF is on her way. Try to believe it. That's how I've gotten through this month. If it works, maybe you'll have a pleasant surprise!

Feel free to email me privately if you want. I don't mind lending an ear. My address is awalsh@interaccess.com.
