Is there any hope?

[40plusTTC]

My OTD is tomorrow, but I took a test this morning to prepare myself for the worst. It was negative. This is our 4th ICSI round (all been fresh rounds) and we had 3 embryos transferred day 3. Including this one I would have had 9 embryos transferred and not once have we had a positive. I'm nearly 41.I'm 11dp3dt. I know the advice is to wait for OTD and we're going to the clinic tomorrow anyway for the hcg blood test, but is there any hope? Has anyone else had a negative in a pregnancy test and then positive result by the hcg? I used one of those early testing tests.

hi 40plusTTC, just wishing you this best and sending you a big hug!

Thanks for your kind words. It was a BFN as expected. So disappointing and yet I feel quite numb and emotionally detached about it this time. It's like I don't expect anything else anymore 😔

Thank you so much. That means a lot. It was a BFN and weirdly it feels like it's just another day. Maybe I'll have delayed grief perhaps when my period starts, but I'm feeling pretty blasé about it at present 😬

So sorry to hear that
