Title says it all really! Tested this morning and another BFN! Really not sure how many more of these I can face ☹️ I will go away and lick my wounds and have to have a real think if we go for round 4, how I’m feeling this morning I just can’t face it, but we’ll see. Good luck to you all where ever you are on your journeys 😘x x x

Thanks hunny and your right it is crap!! Sometimes this journey feels never ending!! Thankfully I’ve got lots of lovely things planned, trip to New York, then Christmas and then we get married in Feb, so lots of distraction! I don’t know who I thought I was kidding this morning, of course I’ll do round 4, but this morning I really had just had enough! Im just going to have a nice long break away from everything IVF based and eat lots of cake!! (Well not to much cake, I won’t fit in my dress!!😊) I hope your doing ok hunny and managing to do some nice things 😘

Thanks hunny I hope your doing well, how old is your baba now? It’s lovely that you still come on here and support others 😘

Thank you.Francesca is growing up fast nearly 6 months! After a 7 year struggle we feel blessed & grateful for her ❤️ This site was a gods send when we were in the midst of our journey & I made lots of friends here- I found everyone here understood what we were going through more than the “outside world”. I don’t think I could’ve coped with the journey without the support here, tho I didn’t have ivf it was very tough. I just want to see others get their happy ending & wish everyone well ❤️ It’s so bloody hard but worth fighting for xxx

Thanks hunny, a few people knew we we’re having more treatment so thankfully I do have some great support around me but I thing there just lost as to what to say at this stage. Have you had your results back from your bloods today I’ve had everything crossed for you x x

Thanks hunny, I hope your also doing ok, I know you were recently in the same boat. As Cinders said it’s just crap Isn’t it and doesn’t seem to get any easier, you would think you would harden to it, but no!! 😘 x x

Thank you. Yeah I’ve been struggling a bit since our last BFN. Feeling pretty broken then caught a really shitty cough/cold which I can’t seem to shift. Really hoping to feel better and get back to some normality next week (i.e back to the gym and the wine that I was looking forward to when the IVF failed! 🤣). Yes BFN after BFN certainly takes its toll! We are warriors to keep going! I hope you start to feel better soon. Your break sounds like a good plan. We are also having a break over Christmas then going to give it our last shot with my own eggs in Feb. It sounds like you have an exciting few months ahead of you! I hope you have the best time away and a wonderful wedding! Then afterwards I’m sure you will find the renewed strength to try again xxxx

i am so sorry to hear this.

We all hope that our stories turn out positive and at times it takes longer to get that. i know how you feel (having had 4 failed cycles myself)

i did give up on everything after that. I guess i`ve licked my wounds enough, I`m ready to try for the 5th time!!!!

You`re not alone in this. xoxo

Hi, it’s a terrible shock getting yet another BFN (had my 4th one this morning, haven’t had the heart to post about it yet 😩). You start thinking surely this round has to work right? I think it gets harder the more failures I have to be honest. More and more is riding on it because so much time and money has been sunk into this cause. And having that little scrap of hope means we can’t stop trying. But hope is sometimes all we have. I just try to make sure we change something in each round, maybe one of these changes will be the deal clincher for us!! Good luck for the coming days and weeks, it’s a tough time. And of course good luck for your round 4 whenever you decide to tackle it xx

Oh hunny I’m sorry to read this, your right though, you go into each round thinking surely this has to be the one!! I definitely don’t feel it’s getting any easier, I want to go ahead with a 4th round but the costs really do play on your mind, we only ever get two embies so there’s never anything to freeze so it always going to have to be a costly fresh cycle. Sending you lots of hugs this morning, cake and wine are in order!!😘 x x

Oh I know the feeling of never having anything to freeze, we’ve had 2 top quality embryos in 4 fresh cycles!! It’s so disheartening, and so frickin expensive 😥 I’m going to do some reading on overseas clinics to see if that’s an option for us. My day is starting with scones and coffee. I hope yours has little treat in there too xx

So sorry you got a negative... I really feel for you right now I test tomorrow and it’s also my 3rd fresh cycle too, I’m terrified, it’s soo bloody hard!

Take some time out, relax, enjoy that holiday and wedding planning and you’ll be ready for round 4 when you’re ready

Sending lots of love and hugs your way xxx

I’m so sorry. This process is so tough and draining! I’m pleased to hear you’ve got lots of nice and exciting things planned with New York, Christmas and the wedding. Enjoy this time and re-evaluate in the New Year. Take care of yourself xx

Ps enjoy New York. I’ve been just before Xmas and it really was amazing, the atmosphere is magical xx

I am so sorry, hun. Do you know the reasons why your cycles failed? In some cases PGS NGS might increase chances of getting pregnant, but it depends on why your cycles failed. Good luck

I’m sorry to read this. You’ve been here a long time 😔 xx

Gutted for you, you are one of my main 'why doesn't it happen for them' couples. Feel like we've both been on here for a while. I hope its got a bit easier after a weekend of wine and good food. We are taking some time off at the moment and deciding whether to go for round four or not next year, sounds like there are a few of us all in the same boat. Huge hugs xx
