Yep - I agree with the girls. When you have been TTC for more than 6-12 months (and I mean really trying because you are ready, not trying in the sense of if it happens it happens. There is a very big difference in your mind set) it is disheartening to see your body functioning effectively by having a regular period but not getting pregnant.

In most months I would have a day or two of sadness when my period arrived to mourn what could have been. It then moves on to the excitement of what can be. The cyclical flow of our body is often replicated in our moods and for those of us who experience pain with menstruation, having a period indicates another day of lost effectiveness and discomfort.
