It has been confirmed as a CHEMICAL pregnancy .... deep down i knew something wasnt quite right... i had very strong symptoms after my BFP like cramping sore and fuller boobs ... very sensative.... sence of smells improved ... felt a little nauseous at times and extremely tired ..... i felt these feelings fade after a few days and i knew in my heart it had failed..... the clinic has been amazing ive to stop my lubion injections and wait for a bleed.... if this hasnt happened within 5-10 days ive to go back for help... im glad i have my answers now ..... we are so lucky and blessed to be given this chance and we have 3 more embies in the freezer ❄️❄️❄️🥚🥚🥚........ thank you to each and every one of you that has shown me support .... been there when i couldnt even face looking at myself .... sent me good luck wishes and messaged me privately.... you ladies are fabulous 💖..... for now though i have a holiday booked we go away on monday to a little cottage in anglesey taking the furbabies 🐶🐶... im sooo looking forward to the nice beaches .... the big fat glasses of wine 🍷 and oneanothers company ..... ill be wishing my 30th in proud and stronger than ive ever been before ..... when im ready to go again the clinic have asked me to ring on day 1 of my cycle and we go from there .... the frozen cycle seems so more chilled out on your body ..... THANKYOU again to each and every one of you ❤️❤️x

Absolutely gutted for you, but your attitude is amazing! As you said, it wasn’t meant to be this time - your body must not have been ready, but come the time for FET you will be both mentally & physically stronger!! 💪🏼👊🏼

I'm so sorry to hear this Rachael 😔 I'm really heartbroken for you, its just not fair!! My clinic told me their frozen transfers have done better than their fresh, so keeping everything crossed for when you feel ready to go again.

I hope you have a nice time away 😘

Take care xxxx

It’s interesting that you seemed to know. Sounds like your body wasn’t ready. Things do happen for a reason and it def sounds like that this time. Hopefully if you do a frozen cycle your body will be more prepared and can focus on the transfer.

I wish you the best of luck. A positive attitude has to help.xxxx

Rachael - I am so glad to hear you are going away and taking a break.

I know you will get a positive result really soon.

You are so lucky to have 3 in the freezer and not the long wait for a full IVF round.

Enjoy your break.

in reply to Rachael_

We can help each other through it :) - you might be having your transfer before me - I am waiting to get my appointment. Just want to get started again straight away - I bet you are the same.

I have to admit I have enjoyed my few glasses of wine this week and we also went away to the seaside and was very healing to put things into perspective.

Have a lovely break.

Lots of Love

Rachael_ in reply to Jenjen84

Thankyou ive just had a peek at your profile ... how are you finding your fet ... my clinc have very high hopes for frozen transfers as they have more BFPs that have got past the 12 week mark with fets than fresh .... this gives me hope ❤️ xx

Jenjen84 profile image
Jenjen84 in reply to Rachael_

That’s good to hear re the FETs.. I had my transfer earlier today. It went ok, I have a bendy cervix so it’s always a bit of a mission for them to get the catheter in! It was a lot quicker today than last time tho! Just got to deal with the long wait now..! 😳 xx

Rachael_ profile image
Rachael_ in reply to Jenjen84

Awwwww well i have everything crosssed for you ... your so brave tackleing this again I admire your strength ❤️ xxx hoping your wait goes quick for you ... the fets seem more gentle on your body so i have alot more faith because the cycle ive had has been mega stressful in many ways ... 🤞🏻 fingers crossed ill be thinking about you x x

Jenjen84 profile image
Jenjen84 in reply to Rachael_

Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ It is a lot easier on the body.. My first fresh cycle was hard, I didn’t realise just how hard until it failed! My body and mind were in agony for quite some time!

Sending lots of positive vibes your way too.. Take time to grieve and reflect and come back fighting stronger than ever next time! Xx

Oh bollocks to that! I remember reading your BFP news just before my BFN. I felt - at least someone is getting positive news- it can happen!!

But so many people I have seen still go on to suffer sad news even after a BFP.

I’m so sorry for you hun- but your bday weekend sounds amazing and just what you need after this rollercoaster - have a brilliant time. I had a weekend away during my 2ww and I loved how I could just escape for a while xx

Keep on with the strength and positivity - frozen cycle is certainly far easier on the body and like you said at least you had a BFP and know you can get pregnant.

Good luck with everything in the future xx

Rachael_ profile image
Rachael_ in reply to Saya85

Thankyou so much its so lovely that you found a positive in your own sadness that in itself describes you as a lovely person instantly ❤️❤️ xx thankyou for your kind words im keeping positive as next time i know what to expect and hopefully it will be far more easier on my body . Good luck to you also hope your ok Xxx

I did reply to you on someone else’s post.

I am so sorry for your loss it’s devastating. I know there are no words that will make you feel better. If you need to talk you know where I am; I have been through a chemical pregnancy last year and I understand what you are going through. xoxo

Rachael_ profile image
Rachael_ in reply to

Awwww i must of missed it jess xxx. Its so sad isnt it to be given a taste of hope and then have it snatched away from you ... your so strong ❤️ thankyou so much for your kind words Xxx

in reply to Rachael_

You’re welcome just so sorry you are having to go through this 💔

It is very cruel indeed the sense of loss is indescribable and unimaginable. 💔I never thought I’d be able to continue on this journey after it happened. But time is a healer and the desire is so powerful it somehow gives you the strength you didn’t know you had to keep going ❤️(Although you will never forget the loss)

I hope you have lots of support around during this awful time. 😊

Im not that strong but I have felt a lot better since we passed what would’ve been my due date (5th April) the whole time I would’ve been in the “pregnancy time frame “ I found really difficult .

Our fertility specialist said something really lovely at our recent appointment “ through the dark cloud the silver lining is that you can conceive “ and it’s so true we really didn’t think we could after6 years of not being able to get pregnant! Trying to get something positive out of something so tragic.

Just be kind to yourselves and try not to expect too much from yourself; it is such early days ; cry when you feel the need, shout, rant because you need to release those feelings in order to move forward ❤️ don’t feel bad for needing to cry I cried loads for ages xoxo

staceymac83 in reply to Rachael_

When I got my BFN last week it was such a mixed emotion cause I felt sad and angry it didn’t work but also felt a huge sigh of relief that i knew and could move on, I’ve decided to enjoy having my body back for a few months and focus on getting another couple of lbs off before my holidays in 4 weeks 😬 the break will do you both good. How is your OH coping? I feel like they always get forgotten about 😢 xx

Its a cruel process all isnt it all this ... i dont think ill ever pee on a test ever again ... hes ok hes been a huge rock ide be lost without him... he feels like this ivf has created a wedge between us lately and i think hes looking forward to been a normal couple again no needles no appointments no clock watching.... im sure the lbs will fall off you stacey i bet you cant wait get away for a bit i know i cant 🥂☀️Xx

Hello rachael. I am so glad to know that you did not loose hope. You stayed strong. More power to you friend. We are always here for you. This forum is filled with so many helping ladies. Ready to give you advice when you need it. They are so supportive. I came here when I had problems too. And everybody was helpful. Although I have been on and off here. I was going through so much that I didn't want to crumble in front of anyone. So I let things be. But whenever I needed support, I got it. These forums are like a very low maintenance relationship. They expect nothing from you. But are always there to support you.
