So I caved and did a test today and it was a BFN :(

(In fact I did two to make sure)

Feeling very disappointed & I don’t know what the chances are of it changing to a positive after a negative :(

It is always heartbreaking seeing a bfn, I feel for you. Did you test with First Response?

Very disappointing, I understand. First response is pretty accurate at 8dp but test again at 10dp for peace of mind. I hope it turns into a positive for you! But if it doesn’t, stay strong and don’t give up hope. Ivf is a numbers game and most of us get there eventually which is reassuring xxx

So sorry to hear this Cheer. Don’t give up though. You never know it could change. When was your OTD again? Sending hugs 🤗 xx

So sorry, such a tough time. Hopefully it’s a false negative and you get a positive on your otd XX

I’m 11dp5dt today with OTD tomorrow, my last test I did was 9DP5DT so same as you and it was a bfn too. I wanted to let you know I’m in that boat with you. Hoping we both get our Christmas miracles 🌟✨ 🙏 xx

Big good luck to you!! The big day for me is tomorrow but I’ve already told myself it’s BFN this time :( so disappointed and gutted xxx

Mine is tomorrow too. I’m doing a home pregnancy test, is yours blood or hpt too? I insisted on bloods for Weds in case anything changes as I’m praying for that miracle.

Although not exactly the same, as my sister fell pregnant naturally, but what would effectively be her 14dpo (so our 9dp5dt) she got a BFN. Day 16 (our 11dp5dt) she got a BFP. Its rare it happens but I’m holding onto this info for last 14 hours of pupo. It’s lifted my hope and spirits slightly. I’m probably clutching at straws but it’s helping me this last day. Hopefully it helps you too 😘 xx

Aww thank you! Hopefully we get our miracles! I’m still having lower abdo mild pains but don’t know if that’s anything or just because my body had been messed around with. My test tomorrow is a HPT and my clinic ask us to call tomorrow when it is negative or positive, if negative I think I go for a HCG blood test tomorrow xx

🙏 🙏🙏

I’m having mild pains too. On Saturday evening (9dp) they got quite strong and I really thought my period was coming. I still suspect it is to be honest as I get bouts of cramps and then nothing for hours. I think the Lubion and pessaries are managing to keep the witch at bay for now 😄 BUT I’m still hoping for that miracle 😍 xxx

I got bad pains on 5dp5dt and thought it was all over then to be honest but then had a better day the following day and was positive again! fingers crossed! Xxx

I understand your disappointment. I tested BFN 10 &11dp5dt and I feel so numb. It was my first cycle and only one of my seven embryos made it to 5 day blastocyst. Right now I really don't know what the next step will be. My OTD is 12dpt, there is no sign of AF A part of me wants to believe there is still hope but I know it's unlikely😔.

It’s so hard! I did another test today 9dp5dt and still negative, my OTD is tomorrow and like you no sign of AF, I keep getting some light cramping but nothing else :(

My OTD is tomorrow too (3dp5dt). I've been getting negatives since day 8. I haven't done one for a couple of days now to try and give myself a break. I know there is a tiny bit of hope but I'm prepared for the negative now and am going to get the embryos PGS tested before we try again. It's so frustrating

BFN confirmed on OTD 🥺. My clinic called and I notified my coordinator, she sounded just as disappointed as I am. They told me to stop taking the hormones and I will be going in for a review soon. Still no sign of AF and this in itself makes me wonder if there is a slight possibility that the test could be wrong 🙈. I feel like I won't really accept it until AF is here.

BFN for me today on my OTD, I went in for bloods today but there was an issue at the lab so results weren’t back by this PM so the clinic are calling me tomorrow. No sign of AF. Truly gutted and lost at the minute! xx

My clinic told me that if it was a negative on test day, but no bleeding, they would ask me to continue my medication for 3 more days and test again. How weird they have just said to stop. I thought they only did that if you were bleeding as well. Did they do bloods perhaps? I am sorry it was negative.

Thank you. I have seen where other women are told this by their clinics as well. I don't know why they would tell me to stop but there was no blood test either 🤷‍♀️. I don't know what to think, in any case I haven't taken any of the hormones today and AF is still not here but today my ovaries are very sore.

Mine was negative this morning (13dp5dt). Some clinics may say keep medication for a day or two and test again, but usually only if their test day was earlier than that! By 13 days it would defo show. So that's me out. I was a bit prepared as I'd tested day 8-10. But there was still some hope and I feel incredibly sad today. I also feel angry. I feel like I was misled. I remember hearing that if I didn't these extra mapping of the embryos I'd have up to an 83% chance of it working! I foolishly thought that meant I had great odds and it would work first go, or at least 2nd. But alas no. We will test the embryos for chromosomal abnormalities now, but I also wonder why this wasn't mentioned at the beginning! I obviously just feel angry and upset today and need to allow myself to feel this, I know.
