OTD and BFN

Today is my OTD and I admit I wasnt expecting a positve test today because of the spotting and light bleeding I had on Tuesday and Wednesday but still held onto a little bit of hope that it was just normal around this time but no, BFN. It’s only my first round of ICSI so I’m hoping I get some answers as to why it didn’t work, I just don’t feel ready to go through all that again as we didn’t have any to freeze. Ugh it’s just utter crap and I really feel like lashing out at something or getting mind numbingly drunk... wouldn’t take much right now let’s face it.

Sorry you’re reading my rant but you’re the only ones who get it, and any advise for getting mentally ready for round two would be welcome.

Aggghhh this is hard man, soo hard! 😔

I’m so sorry. There’s no words to make it any better really. Do whatever it is to make yourself feel better sometimes it’s the only way to get through xx

Thank you x

Not sure how long you have to take between treatment but speaking to the hubby this morning we agree a break would probably do us good.

So sorry for your news. Take some time and have some quality time with hubby. We rushed into round two and wished we had waited. It’s not so much the physical stain, it’s the mental stain that takes the time to mend xx

It is so hard to pick yourself up, you have to do whatever makes you feel better, drinking will probably make you feel sad though, big hugs. xxx

Sorry to read that. I'd strongly recommend seeing a counsellor to help deal with all the emotions you're gonna go through. Your clinic should be able to help with that. Take your time making any decisions about next steps. All the best to you.

We are here to help each other go through emotional craps. We communicate here to fill our mental gaps, distract from dull thoughts, worries, and anxieties. I had bfn twice and was in a great depression. My DH, my friends, my hobbies, my job helped me to go through this and gave strength to go ahead and to my dream. Fight for yourself and your family. We are women and God made us unbelievably strong!

Sorry for your bfn. Our clinic said only 1 in 7 have any frosties so don't be disheartened with that.

I would personally like to have £100 for every stupid thing someone says when you've had a failed cycle. I could fund many cycles with these fines!

Personally looking forward to a holiday in the sun with a pint or two x

Ugh tell me about it, told my sister and her reply was... Ah well never mind, don't you have another round you can use

Yep cause that's what I'm happy about, starting all over again!
