Hi all, I'm new to this and have just added myself as I'm in desperate need of help in coping. Everything was going smooth with our ivf and we had a five day grade as blastocyst transfer which was also hatching. BFN today and zero beta feeling devastated and don't know if she attempt again. Any help is appreciated.
Hi there, it is so hard to pick yourself up after the disappointment but give yourself time and you will know if you are ready again or not. Many have been where you are and their miracle was just around the corner and they would have missed it if they didn’t try again. Make sure you have a follow up appointment with your RE and ask lots of questions and advocate for yourself. Big hug wishing you many successes.
Hello, I echo what was stated above. It is not an easy journey unfortunately. Sometimes, things look perfect and go without any obstacles but ivf is not full proof. I have been at this for almost six years and with no success as of yet. I am sorry that your cycle failed. I wish you strength to continue your journey and peace in the days to come. It is my hope that you will sit with your RE and hopefully get answers or plans for the next time if you choose to attempt again. Take time to deal with your feelings and know that you are not alone.
Hi, so sorry to hear this. I have definitely found this forum a comforting place to go where everyone "speaks the same language" and where this is a deep trove of knowledge. Neither of those things I could find in my personal life and relationships, making the journey seem all the more scarier, upsetting and isolating. So here you have found a community to help get you through the tough times and regroup. I too have transferred a top quality hatching blastocyst and been saddened by a BFN. The best things to do are 1) self-care 2) speak to your doctor, ask lots of questions and 3) look forward with next steps and a plan. Also keep in mind that initial IVF cycles are like a diagnostic - almost like the test you hadn't done yet. From that, you can gain a lot of information about how to treat your diagnosis, new thoughts on diagnosis and protocol, other tests they may want, and so on. While it's overwhelming and sad, it's also proactive and more than you knew before. Of course, this is when and if you feel up to it.
Hello everyone. I have just registered with this group. Reading similar stories to mine gives me great help. On the 20th of July, I had 2 embryos transferred. I am scheduled to do my pregnancy test this Thursday but... yesterday I started having my periods. I am completely devastated as I did not even make it to tbd test result. This is my second attempt on ICSI and each time, my periods came early. I was told to continue with the progesterone pills until my blood test, but as you can imagine, I am extremely discouraged to do so... what's the point right. I know how hard this is... hoping so much and realise that it is not working. My husband and I spoke yesterday and we decided that as long as I can produce good eggs, we will try. Wishing you all lots of courage on coping with the difficult and challenging journey.
