3rd BFN ๐Ÿ’”

I've kept myself quiet for the last few months, I didn't want to 'temp fate' by talking about my 3rd try. But yesterday I got my BFN and it's hit me the hardest this time around. I was so positive, I had given it my absolute everything and yet we still failed. This journey is so hard!! I can't face anyone or anything right now, the 'chin up' speeches are just not what I want to hear. I feel so sad and lost this time. I spent the last 2 weeks (and time before that) truly believing this was our time. I had a scratch, embryoglue, acupuncture and a top grade embryo transferred and my womb lining was above 8mm and it STILL didn't work! ๐Ÿ˜ฅ xx

Grief is part of the process of getting strong again- make sure you allow yourself to grieve in the way thatโ€™s right for you xxx

I'm so so sorry to hear this ... I also had my 3rd BFN last month. It's crushing ! ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ... we put so much effort, emotion and money into this process then to have it ripped from underneath our feet is just cruel. As you say with the chin up comments, I just needed people to accept my pain, I didn't want to hear it will be fine, or try again there's next time. I wanted people to acknowledge how sad and helpless i felt. A month on I feel better but it's left a mark on me. I'm just taking it day by day, week by week. If I have a crying pj day I just go for it now. I found it important to rest and sometimes let the grief consume me, I had to mourn because for me it is a loss. 3 times this year I've prepared myself for a baby that is not coming and like every assumed future or loss it will be grieved. I hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself โค๏ธ

I am so sorry to hear you have also had 3 BFN's! It's so sad, and like you say, the only way I can describe the feeling is as grieving for a loss. I feel empty. Everyone seems to think that because there is a 'next time' you'll be ok, just give it another go....like it's so simple. I feel for you Hun, it's good to hear that a month on you are feeling better but it still never leaves us does it. Sending you a big hug and some strength for whatever your choices are for your path moving forward ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ
