Today, for the sixteenth consecutive time, I'm definitely not pregnant. Nope, I'm just super bitchy, and I like really weird food. FML

Hey, OP here. The FML was poorly written, mostly because they never get published so, who would care, right? Oops. Sorry! My husband and I have been actively trying to conceive for a while now, and he's a truck driver who's only home on weekends, so it's doubly difficult. These past few weeks, I've been very moody and having odd (for me) food wants, so we were really hopeful, but Aunt Flo showed up, so hopes were dashed. Looking back, I've had some new stresses in my life that probably contributed to the moodiness, as I'm usually a fairly even-tempered person. And, as I can't afford healthcare (we make too much for assistance but not enough to actually afford any plans), getting checks would cost more than we could pay. In a month or so, his job will offer company-wide health care, so we'll see what happens then. :)

I can picture it now OP, you're at some fancy dinner party and everyone is getting elaborate seafood dinners and you just pull a jar of pickles and peanut butter out of your purse and are like "I'm good, guys."

Is the FML that your not pregnant? If so, you could have your hormones checked, have chromosome issues crossed off as a problem, and check if your uterus, ovaries, and other bits are whole and functional. If the FML is being irritable and liking odd foods... The odd foods are normal, and not hurting anyone, the "bitchy" bit could be handled by cognitive behavior therapy, or more awareness of when you are irritable and working around it by leaving, or other methods.

Sometimes I wonder how some FMLs make it through.

I'm wondering the same thing. It was written so weirdly, and I'm very confused about what the FML is.

Why not try an at home ovulation kit? At least that way you can track and see if you do ovulate on the weekend one month and have a better chance? I think the statistic is there is a 25% chance of pregnancy each month with no birth control. At least knowing when you are ovulating will give you a clearer picture.

Good luck, OP! Hopefully it works out for you.

I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have weird cravings and symptoms. Also, if you are on birth control, you may look into changing the dosage or finding a new method as they affect hormone levels. And they was you do it, as well. If you skip periods, or if you are inconsistent with when you take your birth control, this can all cause fluctuations in hormone levels.
