I just don't get the accidental pregnancy thing either. My mom had 7 children- Supposedly she could get pregnant on the pill, using condoms and my grandma would say "with a dime between her knees" but I always wondered if there wasn't some "user error" that somehow fit into that picture...Perhaps I'm just jealous that the legendary family fertility doesn't seem to be my lot in life. Its not something I can ask my mom, though.
November 2002: Married wondermous husband. Immediately started TTC.
Much of 2003: OB/GYN insisted that the only reason I couldn't get pregnant was that I was overweight. Her answer? Excercise and "just relax."
2004: OB/GYN concedes that maybe "just relaxing" isn't the answer. Prescribes Clomid, and five uesless Clomid cycles follow.
October 2004: Our foster son, J, becomes a part of our family.
August 2005: Started seeing RE; BW, US, HSG (patent tubes, uterus good, etc.), everything checks out as expected - no MFI, I have anovulatory PCOS. Shocker.
February 2006: IUI #1 failed.
March 2006: IUI #2 failed.
June 2006: IUI #3 failed.
July 2006: IUI #4 (supposedly the "final" one). Thought it failed b/c I started bleeding before my beta was due, but...
August 2006: Hey that failed IUI worked! You're pregnant!
October 9, 2006: Miscarriage at 12 weeks, one day gestation. Subsequent D&C.
January 2007: IUI #5 Fails
February 2007: IUI #6 Expected to fail - ridiculously bad cycle in which everything went wrong. BFP.
March 2007: Crazy Rollercoaster - first US shows 2 gestational sacs (no HBs). 2nd US shows 3 sacs (no HBs). 3rd US shows 1 HB, 2 smaller sacs. 4th ultrasound shows 3 HBs.
September 19, 2007: Triplets born.
October 13, 2007: Triplets released from NICU
September 2008: Triplets turn 1. Definitely time to start TTC again. Yes, I'm certifiable.
November 2008: Consult with RE at The Hatchery. RE has never done eSET, would prefer 2 embryo transfer. Scary. Do prelim. BW, etc. Do HSG (left tube blocked). Stop BFing. Start BCPs for IVF cycle.
December 2008: Met with Perinatologist; received dire warnings - no twin pregnancy allowed for me. eSET is only option at this point.
Jan 2009: Consult with Ye Olde Fertility Clinic. Agree to pursue IVF with eSET only to avoid HOM repeat.
Jan/Feb 2009: IVF#1: 10 retrieved, 9 Fertilized, eSET 6dt, Nothing to freeze, BFN
March 2009: IVF #2 ... Canceled. Ovulated on my own while on Lupron. Stupid body.
April 2009: IVF#2 (Take 2) ... Cancelled due to poor response. Stupid Body.
May/June 2009: IVF#2 (Take 3)... 14 Retrieved, 8 fertilized, once again they looked like crap. Transferred one crappy looking morula on Day 5. Nothing left to freeze. Jury's still out on the beta results. I'm not holding my breath.

Shabbat Shalom.
2ww sucks.
It makes me wonder ever more, how the heck do people accidentally find themselves pregnant?
Hang in there.

Sorry how you aren't expecting good news. Been praying for you here...
I have lots of jokes about 6, but I know the angst of the negative test. I'm thinking of you. Prayers.
