BFN

[SeniorPhipps]

Hi everyone, just wanted to check in today to let you know that we tested today (13dp4dt) and were devastated (but not surprised) to see a BFN. I just felt so normal this past week that I knew our embies hadn't stuck 😞

Our mantra has been 'expect the worst, hope for the best' so we had the 'what if' conversation a couple of days ago and agreed very quickly that we would both want and could afford another round (our CCG only allows one NHS cycle) - thankfully. Knowing this helps a little.

The OH and I are going away this week for our wedding anniversary (perfectly timed), so I'm going to stay off the forum for a week or so to clear my head and heal my heart. I'll be back once we're ready to fight again.

Wishing everyone the best of luck. I hope to see lots of fab news when I'm back ❤️

Hi Steph,

Sorry to hear of your news. We got a BFN on Sunday as well, after our first round of IVF. During the whole process we have tried to be cautiously optimistic but the reality of it failing has been heartbreaking.

Fortunately we are in a similar situation and can afford another round of ivf, which helps soften the blow somewhat. I just wanted to wish you and your partner the best and I hope you enjoy your week away.
