As expected 3rd round has resulted in a bfn now to say bye to this forum

27 Replies

I had known since Monday that our third fresh cycle had failed and we would be faced with our third bfn. Today was test day and there it is in front of us like another smack in the face.

Starting to feel like this will never happen for us and where do we go next.

With a heavy heart I'm going to say goodbye to this forum for at least 6 months. I just want to be me/us. We have decided once we have our follow up appointment we are not going to discuss or think about it for at least 3 months. I am so happy for everyone who gets their bfp but a tiny piece of me breaks each time as I feel no closer to mine.

I want to thank you all for your support and kind words. It's not goodbye forever wishing you all lots of luck in journeys 😢😔🙁 xxx

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear this 🙁 IVF consumes so much of our lives & it can make us so miserable... Maybe a nice long break may be good for you to find your happiness again & to reset. There will be options for you, I’m sure, but the main thing is that you take some time to be sad, recover and get your lives back. Sending you hugs xx

You're absolutely doing the right thing. Take the time you need to take stock and see what life offers next. I hope it brings you lots of good things. Take care of yourself xxx

I’m so sorry. Failed treatment is difficult and painful- I had 4 rounds of clomid which didn’t work I can imagine IVF must be a million times worse.

I think you are wise to have a break- it does get too much. Stress isn’t good when you want to conceive- tho it’s impossible to avoid.

I removed myself from this group for 6 months after I suffered a miscarriage. I took it badly. I found scan pictures too hard to look at- whilst I was genuinely pleased for others not bitter or resentful of others , I know what they have gone through to get there, I was completely heartbroken my scan ended with such devastating news. It reminded me everything I had lost 💔 for mental state i left.

But I am better now for having the break- I am happy and content to be on my own journey- it’s such an individual one . I can now enjoy reading stories of success without feeling hurt by my loss, we all deserve our happy endings. And I really hope we all get them 😊

Having had a break from trying it has done us both the world of good- (my trying has gone on hold till I have my surgery next month.) Go and enjoy yourselves! Do things for you and enjoy spending time together 💗

We will be here for you when you feel ready to come back 💗💗💗 xoxo

Sorry to hear about your BFN. I hope the break does you good- this can become all-consuming. It’s good to find yourself again xx sending you lots of hugs and happiness

So sorry Katrina. It’s sometimes so unfair and is so down to luck sometimes. It worked the third time for us. But could easily have been the fourth time. I don’t know why it didn’t work the first two times but having an embryo scratch and doing it from a frozen embryo may have helped. All the best with whatever you decide to do next.xx

Awww I'm so sorry, this brought tears to my eyes. I hope you can enjoy couple time for a while. Take care of yourselves xx

So sorry. Take time for yourself. It really does help. We’re 8 months past our last cycle and beginning to see the wood for the trees. It has been good to forget about trying. I have become more myself. While the pain hasn’t really gone, it’s not as consuming as it was. It’s still a long road ahead but I feel stronger about venturing it with just hubby and me. I’m even at the point where I no longer track my cycles. This has helped me to let go so when you’re ready, maybe give it a go. Take each day as it comes and remember that you deal with your grief in your own way. You’re not answerable to anyone. xxx

Really sorry to read your disappointing news. Heartbreaking for you and your hubby. We are all here for you when you return back to this forum. Perhaps a wee holiday away somewhere nice might help you. Treat yourself. You deserve it. Maybe a few massages will help de-stress a bit too. Enjoy some quality time with your hubby as a couple. Thinking about you. Big hugs.xo
