Pregnancy Blood test done!

[Jen37]

Hey all,

So I've had my pregnancy blood test done this morning and I am feeling extremely emotional. Everything is just making me want to burst into tears and I just can't get it out of my head that I'm not pregnant. I'm just trying to keep myself busy till I get the call later today, I'm supposed by to working from home but I just can't concentrate.

This is my second IVF cycle, first one was a fresh cycle that failed and this one was frozen. I'm doing all the things I shouldn't, like constantly looking on the internet and worrying that I don't feel any different, like my boobs were sore earlier this week and now they aren't. You all know the struggle!!

Anyway I just wanted to let you all know how I'm feeling and wishing you all the very best with your journeys.

Not surprised your emotions are running high - have a good cry if it will help release tension. But step away from Google 🙈 keeping everything crossed for some good news 🤞🙏🤞🙏 xx

I think you're right a good cry might help with the emotions. I know I told myself I wouldn't do it this time but I just couldn't help myself! Thank you, the day is dragging so much xx

I was convinced mine had failed. Cried so much on test day while waiting for results. Was all ready to pour myself a big glass of whisky after opening them. That negative feeling doesn't mean anything, you're just feeling the pressure. Hang on in there, fingers crossed for you xxx

[Jen37 in reply to MissSaoPaulo]

That's exactly how I'm feeling at the minute, I'm already planning what I'm going to get drunk with tonight. Here's hoping I don't get to have it! xx

[MissSaoPaulo in reply to Jen37]

Mine was a Friday too and I was planning the whole weekend - lifting heavy weights at the gym and eating rare steak and sushi and getting drunk. Was so shocked when it was a positive. Really hope you get yours today xxx

[Jen37 in reply to MissSaoPaulo]

I'm so pleased that it all worked out for you, wishing you the best of luck for the future xx

Ah, this is fairly common. It's okay to feel this way. The emotions are supposed to be high. It's just how these things work. I hope you get a BFP. I would be the best end to this journey. Good luck to you! Keep us posted on how it goes.

It’s so hard not to google but it won’t give you your answer 🙂. Could you distract yourself with movies or a good book? Sending you relaxing vibes. Everything crossed for you. Xx

The 2WW/test day phase is the biggest of the emotional rollercoasters 🎢 I reckon! It’s so hard to know how to feel so don’t be hard on yourself for feeling all over the place! It’s a struggle alright. You’re doing great so hang in there! 💪🏻 I really hope you get that positive result you so long for. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻 Xxx

I don’t know how people have the self control to not just take home pregnancy tests every day. Multiple times a day.

Aww Jen37, stay strong, you are not on your own. I've been through it 7x and each time, I loose myself but all I can do is thank God for having dear life and keep on hoping. Don't give up, there is light around the corner.

Thanks for all the kind messages of support. Sorry I haven't replied to you all but it was a tough weekend, we got the dreaded BFN result on Friday. It hit me harder this time round than last time. My husband and I ended up getting very drunk on Friday to drown our sorrows, not the best way to deal with the news but felt like with both needed a good blow out.

I've got my follow up appointment with the clinic tomorrow, we have 1 more try left on the NHS and 1 frozen emby.

We have been trying for about 10 years now to fall pregnant. I turn 39 in April and I just can't help but feel that my time is running out and it's just not going to work. I know my mood at the moment is probably fueled a lot by the negative result on Friday but it is just so difficult to stay positive.

I think I am going to take a break for a month or so to try and lose a bit of weight as I have been piling it on since we started the IVF journey. I just need to find the motivation to do it and stop dwelling on the 2 failed attempts.

Im really sorry to hear that Jen! There is no right or wrong way to deal with a BFN, they never get any easier and getting drunk seems perfectly reasonable to me....that's usually our thing too! Sending big hugs to you both!xx
