OTD & BFN 💔

Millbanks profile image
42 Replies

Yesterday was my official test day and unfortunately it’s another negative for us. Gutted but not surprised as we knew this was a long shot. We have our new transfer windows due to our ERA results so hoping to give that a go with 2 frosties in January.

Does anyone have any positive stories of success after ERA timing change for me? It’ll be our 5th transfer so really hoping our luck will change...

Wishing all of you in the 2WW lots of luck and sending lots of love to those of us who have had BFNs recently. It’s a tough time of year to be going through this. 💪🏼 💖 xx

Gutted about BFN, it’s never easy to face them even if you were prepared.I had ERA done and transfer #5 worked! It’ll be the one, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. Enjoy the holidays and do your FET in the new year xx

I’m so so sorry Millbanks. This journey is so tough and so unfair. I’m really hopeful for you that a change in protocol based on your ERA results will be the answer. Have they said how long you need to wait for a FET? Sending hugs and strength. Take it easy lovely xxx

Millbanks in reply toPeanutchips

Thanks lovely, such a f****r - but I made up for it (kind of) with lots of champagne and cheese. Fortunately we can start our next FET with my January period. Currently feeling a bit wobbly about going again but I’m sure by then I’ll be ok. Lots of love to you too xxxx

So sorry to hear this. Its so rubbish having failure after failure, it really kicks you in the gut like nothing else. I always think..surely it must be my turn, surely I must be due a bit of luck! Unfortunately it doesnt work like that. Hope you are enjoying some treats over the festive period.

I am having a FET in January with my new extra progesterone protocol (just an extra 12 hours for me) so here's hoping these tweaks will make a difference for us xx

Millbanks profile image
Millbanks in reply toF_J_762301

It really is a kick in the gut - you’re right!

That’s great! Really hoping these changes help us both. I’m so scared that it won’t make any difference and my hope will be gone. Urgh xxxx

F_J_762301 in reply toMillbanks

I know what you mean. I am at the point now where I am almost too scared to hope. I have been devastated by disappointment so many times. But I am beginning this process again with an open mind, taking one day at a time and not being too hard on myself, all things I have learned along the way xx

Millbanks profile image
Millbanks in reply toF_J_762301

That’s really brave. I am going to take your advice xxx

Aww yes I really hope it’s the one for us!! When is your transfer planned for? Xxx

hifer profile image
hifer in reply toMillbanks

Not sure but I started meds today so a few weeks yet. Sending loads of love. I went through a failed transfer just before our ERA and I’ve already had a failed transfer in Jan. I know the feeling of a BFN all too well. So sorry you’re going through this and everything crossed for your new protocol xx

Millbanks profile image
Millbanks in reply tohifer

Sending all my love to you too. Everything crossed!! Looks like I’ll be a few weeks behind you as it’ll be my next cycle towards the 3rd week in Jan xxx
