OTD Negative - Crushed again!

[Aame7800]

Morning ladies.Hope you all had a lovely day yesterday.

I held off testing yesterday and I'm so glad I did. I had a feeling this cycle didn't work but not testing meant there was still a little bit of hope there and I didn't want to ruin Xmas day.

Tested this morning and negative- i can't stop crying. I'm crushed, physically and mentally drained.

I'm so not ready to give up as I don't feel my family is complete. But now sat here thinking of going through another fresh cycle due to no frozen embryos left and another year of meds and appointments!

I have to do a home blood test on Thursday to be sure as my period hasn't come but being on 3 pessaries, crinone and 5 progynova tablets a day I'm pretty sure that's keeping it away and as soon as I stop taking them it will arrive.

Sending baby dusk to anyone due to test xxx

Hiya we tested yesterday and BFN, think we tested as my period was due but OTD tomorrow. It really is disheartening, hubby says to test tomorrow as well but the thought of going through it all again, *insert sigh here* but there’s not many more options.

Thinking of you xx

hi, I’m so sorry you are going through this. I had a negative test on Christmas Eve in 2020 and remember how crushing it is. It’s an exhausting process and I have never had anything to freeze so I remember well how hard it is to go through each egg collection. My cycle the following spring worked and it made the following Christmas all the more special so please try and keep your spirits up. Next year could be the one, sending love and strength, I 100% remember how tough it is xx 🍀

My OTD isn't until tomorrow but I started bleeding on Sunday morning, it's the fact that I have to keep on with the medication until OTD that really gets to me for some reason. I know it's a hard no, the medication hasn't even managed to keep my bleeding away this time yet still advised to do it.

Here's hoping for us all and the next one. x

Thinking of you. How did your OTD go?I feel your pain. Back in August last year I had bad bleeding 8hrs after transfer and still had to go until OTD knowing for whatever reason it had failed. I had to keep up with meds until yesterday until I'd done another test- home blood test- knew it would still be negative. Now waiting for period to arrive 😞 xx
