Failed 1st Fresh Round

[Finchee27]

Hi everyone. ☺️

I've been quite quiet on here, but just wanted to update for those of you who I have been in touch with: today was OTD and unfortunately it was a no go for us. Tested this morning as clinic wanted me to, but had tested yesterday as stated spotting heavily (quite red) from yesterday morning (10DP5DT) which had been negative so knew what to expect. Glad I tested a day early as actually felt relieved to have an answer one way or another. Today AF had made her appearance very noticeable.

Strangely feeling ok with the situation. I kind of thought of this round as a trial run anyway (although you do hold onto that tiny bit of hope). Just wasn't meant to be. I really feel for those of you who have had to go through multiple rounds, and really admire your strength. It's a long, emotional process.

We are lucky to have one frozen embryo to continue with, but considering whether it would be better to carry out another full fresh round as I'm 35 & egg quality is only going to reduce as time ticks on. Maybe be better to see if we can store a few more embryo's prior to doing an FET? I would appreciate anyone's thoughts/experiences regarding this?

Anyway, all the best to you all and sincerely hope you get everything that your heart desires! Good luck to you all! ☺️🌈 xx

(PS. Sorry for the long post)

Aw I’m sorry for your negative result. This is exactly what I did-bank some embryos, and keep my frozen ones safe, they will always be there, not getting older 😊. Take it easy, it will hit you in waves, but it helps to have a plan in place so there is something to focus on. Thinking of you xxx

This is very sad. Someone suggested I write a list of all the nice things to do if my result next week is positive or negative. Going to the pub will definitely be on there if I end up in your position!

Well done for sounding so strong. Remember whatever you feel is ok. Sending virtual hugs 🤗

Thanks very much. ☺️ Thinking of you and have everything crossed that you get your BFP when OTD comes round!! xx
