If you can, then I would wait another week and test, your period could just be late, I can understand your frustration, honey, I have a friend who is going through the same thing. What she did was wait about 5 to 7 days after her period was scheduled to start and then if it did, then she was disappointed, but not as disappointed as she would have been if she took a test and it showed a negative. Then, if it still did not start, then she would see her doctor and they would see what is going on.
If you are having problems conceiving, don't give up, see your doctor, with the medical field as advanced as it is these days, there are so many options out there for you, I know you want a baby of your own, but have you thought about adoption? That is another option to explore........just don't give up, have faith, and sooner or later your miracle will happen.?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
