BFN ☹

So i tested today and it said not pregnant, im 13 days post 3 day transfer, as anyone got a negative test at this time with a clear blue but still been pregnant? This is my first round of ivf dont really know what to expect. My actual test day is monday that the clinic want me to do, i really thought i were pregnant and partner bought test to test early, but i guess you never really know..

Sorry to hear that, its hard seeing a BFN when testing early. I would try with a an FRER test, these are a bit more sensitive. I havent used Clear blue tests (as they have a higher sensitivity) but on my first positive I only had a faint line on an FRER at 12dp5dt, I did unfortunately miscarry at 6 weeks. Best of luck for monday if you dont test again beforehand!xx

Hi Toniloux. Of course it’s upsetting when you test early and see a negative. However, I would keep on with any medication you have been prescribed, and test on the day you were advised, next Monday. Good luck! Diane

Sorry to hear this. It’s such a heart breaking journey. Xx

I know it really is isnt it xx

Sorry to hear this. Like Cinders says, don't give up yet. Please dont use the clear blue tests they're so confusing and not as sensitive as the FRER ones. Im keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

Ive still not bled at all? Even today which i thought by now i would of my expected period was yesterday, but also i am on the pessaries so it could be becasue of that ive read different things on them, some say they still bleed and some dont xx

Hi Toniloux

I am very sorry to hear you have had a bfn. I had my OTD on Friday and had a bfn! It’s so difficult and my emotions have been all over the place. Like you I used a clear blue. But also my period has not arrived. My head is spinning as it’s my first ivf cycle too so like you don’t know what to expect or feel. Sadly even though it’s over my mind will play tricks on me until that period comes. I hope tomorrow brings a different result for you. But wanted to say I can understand how you’re feeling right now and knowing we’re not completely alone in all of this can help. Hugs to you xx

[Hidden in reply to L2D2]

Aww thank you, yes its so hard isnt it im trying to stay positive, and on the plus side we know what to expect next time, and ive read alot of times it does not work first time, i am still having these pessaries not sure if that is delaying my period? How many did you get transfered? I did 2 tests today and both negative again 😩 i really thought i was pregnant as well, but i suppose you do when its all you think about, so sorry to hear it is has not worked for you too, when will you try again? I think we are going for february now need a few months off xx

[L2D2 in reply to Hidden]

I feel emotionally exhausted to be honest. But got to keep moving forward. I’ve read that the pessaries are what delay the period arriving. My clinic told me to stop all meds on Friday so we will see now next few days. The nurse also said to me that it’s very common the first one doesn’t work. Just hoped to be one of those few it that it does! 🙈

Oh no sorry to hear they are still bfn. Only had one transferred. Did you have one or two? We have some Frosties so clinic will ring me next week for when we can go again. We’ll see what the timing is like. Having a break is a good thing though as it’s all very emotionally and mentally demanding. Do what is right for you Hun xx

[Hidden in reply to L2D2]

Thats good that you have frozen, i only got 2 eggs my left ovary didnt give any due to an op i had when i was younger, so just got 2 which were both good and got to 8 cells day 3 and both were put back in, im shocked they havnt worked to be honest but these things happen dont they, so we have another shot at it but then thats it, fingers crossed for you with your frosties, hope they work for you, stay positive 🤞 xx

[L2D2 in reply to Hidden]

Will they consider going to Day 5 next time perhaps? Not that I am massively knowledgeable about all this mind. Maybe a good thing for you to have a chat with your clinic to see what they will do differently for you. I’m wishing that the next round goes positively for you. Same to you, stay positive. Have you had your bleed yet? Mine arrived through the night and omg it’s painful😵

[Hidden in reply to L2D2]

Still no bleeding done my test this morning negative again 😩 the pessaries could be stoppping my period? Did you have pessaries? Im in alot of pain and really bloated thinking could be sign of period, just spoke to clinic they will give me a follow up appointment after ive dobe another test wednesday to make sure! Got to stay on these pessaries though! So prolonging period even longer just want it over with now xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Hidden]

Hey, sorry to hear that you have had another negative on OTD. My clinic often ask me to double check 2 days later to be sure. The pessaries are meant to keep your period away but you may start bleeding - I did on 2 of my cycles before OTD (when I was on crinone) and didnt on the other 2 BFNS (cyclogest). Its not a nice situation to be in when it all feels a bit pointless. Hugs.xx

[Hidden in reply to Cinderella5]

I know i do feel abit down today just want to be off these pessaries and get my period out of the way, im so bloated and in pain, i have to test again wednesday just incase and stay on pessaries till then, thank you, i will keep positive for next time xx

[L2D2 in reply to Hidden]

Sorry to hear it was negative in your OTD 😖 yes think it’s the pessaries that hold the bleed. I’ve started now which was about 72hours. I was also well over my usual date for my period.

My clinic told me to stop taking all meds straight away. Like I mentioned in another post to you I have been in a lot pain!! And I’m massively bloated, last night my stomach was huge!

Aww feel so much for you right now. I imagine the clinic telling you to test again is messing with your head too. Of course I would still hope for some chance of a positive for you xx take care hun xx

[Hidden in reply to L2D2]

I feel like im going to pop! Just need to get off these pessaries and i get get on with it , just waiting for another negative its not good, ahh i bet i will do exactly same as you then, i look about 6 months pregnant my stomach is that big! hope your ok xx

[LKT1]

Sorry you had a bfn. It’s very painful after what you have been through. Test again on test day but remember the drs learn so much from your first round. They can look at areas of success and identify areas where things need improving. Because of the ‘lessons learnt’ from my first failed round, my medication was changed and I’m now 15wk’s pregnant so stay positive it can still happen for you xx

[Hidden in reply to LKT1]

Ahh thank you, test day today and still negative, think medication was ok i got two good eggs so im gutted none has taken, ive also no fertility issues or my partner, he has cf so had to get his sperm frozen but it was good and fertilised my eggs with 1 straw, so just goes to show sometimes it just doesn't happen, i am hoping there is something they can do next time, maybe try the glue i dont know, will try again february i think, congratulations on your pregnancy 😊 its nice to hear some good news xx

[Picalilli99 in reply to Hidden]

Just wanted to say I’m really sorry it was a BFN. Was really hoping that you would get a positive result today. Sending big hugs xx
