If I was in Vegas, I wouldn't bet on pregnancy.?

Oh lovey. You and I are in the same sitch. My temps did the nosedive on Saturday AFTER an extra long luteal phase so I was SURE there was a little person in there. Get this: I'm an OB nurse, I work on the maternity unit and I was in the nursery last night taking care of the babies. One of my admissions was a little boy whose mommy is INCARCERATED! That's right. In jail for drug possesion and here she's pregnant with this baby while her mother takes care of her other FOUR kids. Yep, this is number five and she won't even be raising him. As I was checking him over and bathing him, I kept thinking about what his life was going to be like and wondering which of us trying-to-conceivers would get to him fastest if, by some miracle, she decided to give him a better life by putting him up for adoption. It's unfortunate and I say that everyday. These women who are unfit to be mothers conceive at the drop of a hat and those of us who, like you, are educated and secure and ready, endure month after month of heartache. I know that God is up there and He has a plan, which is why I can pick myself up each month and go on. He knows what my life will be and it calms me to know that I am not in charge. But, being human, I still feel that same hurt every month. As you can see from all the answers you've gotten here, you have a ton of people who will be here to support you and know exactly what you are going through (I too am into month 5) so keep posting and we'll all get through it together, girl!!
