BFN 💔

61 Replies

End of the 2ww and it's a BFN, I am feeling devasted, I had such high hopes for this round,it was a top quality embryo and my lining was at optimum level,I'd been taking baby aspirin and steroids this round so really confused. I know it's not 100% guarantee but success rates at my clinic are really high for DE and everything seemed to go well up until this point.

Of course it is. We put our all into each round with an unfailing belief that all will be well. It is absolutely devastating for each and every bfn and set back.

You will have your dream. I really with you success in 2019. Big big hugs xxx

Im so sorry i was hopeful for you too. Please take care of yourself. When something doesnt happen, God has bigger plans for you, this wasnt your time but your time WILL come. I pray 2019 is the year for you. I know how frustrating and upsetting it is to say the least but please do not give up belief hope and faith. It will happen x

in reply toMasha111

Thankyou, I think I'm feeling the pressure more because I'm 41 and don't know how long I can keep trying, we do have 2 frozen embryos left so we will see what next year brings xx

I’m really sorry to read this, Claire. Negative results are sad at any time of the year, especially now. Please know you’ve done nothing wrong and be kind to yourself. It’s ok to cry and let it all out. Here’s to a brighter 2019 for you and us all xxx

in reply toSnez84

Thankyou for your message,it is really hard and I'm still grieving from my MMC end of Aug but I know I'm strong and always have to have a plan so will take some time over Xmas to relax and then work towards the next attempt.

Hope 2019 is a good one for you xxx

Hi Clarenix, I too have had 7 tries @ 41 and taking a break to see what 2019 brings...we will not give up. Faith and positivity is the best medication....may I ask which clinic you are at? I'm in U but thinking of going to Greece for a try. We are thinking of trying Donner eggs to max out chances.

Hey there,apologies for the delay,I will PM you with details

I’m so sorry to read this Claire. The pain from a BFN is so horrible. Not having answers can be so frustrating and unfair. Take time to grieve. Take care of each other. Xx

Definitely and it’s seems so bloody unfair too. There’s no justice in infertility. I am so so sorry for your pain. We are always here to talk to and to vent when needed. Take all the time you need. Xx

Thankyou, I'm meant to be going to see my twin nieces today for their first birthday but their mom is pregnant and I just don't think I can face it xx

Em2405 in reply to

Don’t go! You need time to grieve and be as sad as you want to be. Don’t force yourself to do something that painful. You need to look after you at this moment in time and everyone should understand and respect that. Xxx

in reply toEm2405

I think I'm going to say I'm ill, only my parents know about the IVF we haven't told our siblings and their partners but your right I need to put myself first xxx

Glad hubby is looking after you! You havent done anything wrong hun, you know that deep down Im sure and Im sure you're still grieving your lost little one too! Its a crappy time of year to get a BFN - I started bleeding on my 2ww on Xmas day a couple of years ago and its just that wee bit harder at this time of year. Try to let your hair down a little over the festive period. Hopefully better things to come for us in 2019!!xxx

in reply toCinderella5

Hey Cinderella,Xmas day now that really does suck!!

I've had lots of hugs today and think I'm cried out now and ready to take on the next round but have said to the clinic I want to try and find out what is going wrong,not sure how possible that is?? I'm wandering whether it's anything to do with my severe allergies and my immune system fighting against something that is a foreign object??

Ive just poured myself a vodka!!

2019 is going to be a better year for us both xxxx

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply to

Well it's defo worth sounding out the question. It's rubbish when we don't know why things are going wrong!

Enjoy that vodka, you bloody deserve it!!xx

in reply toCinderella5

Unfortunately couldn't stomach the vodka,ended up switching to water!!! Xx

Oh I'm so sorry Claire

I know exactly how you feel. We had two failed cycles with top notch A embryos

But this time we had BC embryos and it worked miraculously - sometimes there's no rhyme and reason but have faith it can and does work- and more often than we realise

It sounds like you're at a good clinic and you're on a good protocol - maybe 2019 is destined to be your year xxx

in reply toSaya85

Thankyou for the encouragement and yes it is a good clinic so hopefully I will get some more answers or advice in the New Year. Have a good Christmas xxx

I’m so sorry that it hasn’t worked for you. I totally understand how extra crushing that is when everything had been looking so promising. We had two failed transfers with top quality embryos, after cycles with much poorer quality embryos it was impossible not to get our hopes up. I will be thinking about you at this difficult time. And have everything crossed that one of those little frozen ones will be a winner in 2019! Take care xxx

in reply toPicalilli99

Thankyou Picalilli99,so sorry that you have also been through the same thing. Do you mind me asking what your clinic advised or did you have any additional tests? Xxx

Picalilli99 profile image
Picalilli99 in reply to

No they haven’t really advised anything other than suggesting that DE may increase our chances, which we haven’t tried yet but is likely to be our next step I think. I do wonder sometimes, especially when reading other women’s posts whether my clinic’s approach is a bit limited when it comes to offering further investigations. Especially because we’ve also had 2 MMC and so I can’t help wondering whether there’s something else adding to our problems that we don’t know about xx

in reply toPicalilli99

It's difficult isn't it when you don't get any answers but as other ladies have said sometimes their is no reason, my clinic did add baby aspirin and steroids this time round because of my MMC but not sure other than that what can be done??

DE do seem to have higher success rates and there are really good clinics to chose from if that's the route you decide to go down xxx
