It’s so hard

I’m finding seeing these stark white negatives every month so crushing. I tell myself I’m going to wait for af every month but I don’t, I always give in thinking this is the month. I’m starting to think that it just isn’t going to happen.

My Friend is currently TTC She had the deed on the 12th, and had her 2 highest peaks on the 13th & 14th. Is it will she get pregnant this month? I know when I tried for my boy (currently 15w3d) I did the deed on the 17th and had my highest peak the night of the 18th and received my positive when I was 10 dpo.
