A BFN for me...

The clinic just rang - she said there was a small amount of HCG detected - level of 4 and it needs to be 50 or above for definite pregnancy. They want me to go in again next Monday for another blood test... what's the effin point?? Just to be sure she said but if I get my period before then to ring them. FFS. I knew it. But at least we've got 2 more frozen embryos so hopefully one of those will be the one.

Can they do that? My clinic don't really explain numbers. The nurse seemed pretty sure it was a negative result.. I don't see the point in going back to re test. Thanks for your kind words. I feel ok I think I knew deep down xx

I think beta numbers double every two days if it’s positive so if it did become positive you’d expect them to go up. I’d go back and test next week if no AF. I think it cannot happen I’m rare cases xx

Thinking of you x

Take care xx

Thanks. Does that ever happen do you know where a negative result earlier on can turn in to a positive result?? x

I'm sorry, and have no idea but I do think you should go back next week, if you don't get your AF, as advised just to be sure.

Sending you gentle hugs xx

I’m doing ok as I can be considering...

I meant what I said, my first round was a bfn and it was upsetting. You have every right to be disappointed xx

Really sorry to hear this. I hope you manage to pick yourself up soon. Xx

I'm out of the 2WW too, AF arrived properly today 😔 . Exactly the same as last cycle, I just wish that I could actually make it to test day (Friday). I've got to have yet another fresh round as no frosties but will have to wait a while as it's got too difficult to fit it around work until next March. So frustrating as time really isn't on my side. This whole cycle hasn't felt right so I've been well prepared for the disappointment.

I hope you're being well looked after, this process really is shit x

It really is isn't it?? Thank you for the support I really find this forum and you amazing ladies so helpful. I'll be 37 in Feb so similar age to you. I'm so sorry to hear your news too. It is so shit and so hard. I know so many people including my sister (2 ivf one fresh and one frozen worked both times!) where they've had success first time which makes you think why not me?? But I know it'll happen when the time is right. My clinic don't use glue or that technology where they can observe the embryos development daily without disturbing them so wonder if that really doesn't help?? I knew deep down from middle of last week really. My DH was so sure it had worked tho and he's usually the negative one! Bless him. Good luck and again I'm sorry xx

My clinic has the technology where they can view them without disturbing them which has got to be better but made no difference to me.

When I mentioned the 'scratch', I was made to feel like I was being OTT & told that they don't usually bother with that unless you've had at least 3 failed attempts?! Well perhaps I don't want to wait until then! I'm changing clinics next time but the next closest is 3half hour drive so it's going to take some sorting with time off (they don't know). I'm not thinking about it yet, just going to enjoy some alcohol and a bit of a life for a good few weeks before researching what to do.

It's just so frustrating that they can't give any answers.

Good luck with your frozen cycle xxx

I had a scratch for our first cycle as we were invited to be part of a trial they were doing across the country to see if it made a difference with first time ivf but usually only given for women who've had several failed attempts so didn't get it second go or this.. Shame as first cycle we didn't even get to transfer stage to try it... I am currently enjoying a large glass of red wine!! X
