10dp5dt BFN what more can I do?

[Nane22]

hi there so we decided to test this morning with FRER and it’s the all too familiar stark one single line. Not even a glimmer of a second line. I think I’m out. This was our last embryo and was a 5AB. I did an endometrial scratch, I was down regulated on buserelin, my progesterone levels were good and maintained with 2 lubion a day and 2 cyclogest a day. Also on blood thinners and steroids. We added in embryo glue. This is my 5th transfer and out of 6 embryos I’ve only ever had one pregnancy which ended in mmc at 9 weeks. I have an official blood test tomorrow, but after reading online I don’t think it’ll turn around now. I was secretly hopeful. I don’t feel like AF is coming I’ve had so many weird symptoms I thought maybe this is it. Now I can’t believe all those were just the meds. I’m 41 in December and just feel like is this ever going to happen. I don’t know what next to do 😞 and the thought of going back to more cycles now is just disheartening starting all over again.

Hi Nane I’m really sorry about this , I just wanted to send you a big hug xx this is a really tough process for the body and soul , please be kind to yourself xx I did the same although it wasn’t an early response test , but I also got a negative, my OTD is Tuesday and they don’t do bloods , so I get what you’re feeling there’s only a tiny bit of hope x, like you I’m unsure of next steps it feels like a lot of variables need to be aligned for the miracle to happen. I’m really hoping we are getting closer to our dream with each failure, stay strong, sending you much love xx

Hi Nane. All you can do now to keep up with any prescribed medication and test on the day recommended by your clinic. Keep busy and drink plenty of water. Wishing you well. Diane

Thank you Diane. Today was my test day and had bloods which confirmed the BFN. I’ve been told to stop all meds now. Next week will be a follow up with the doctor to discuss next steps I guess.

Thanks hun xx this whole thing is just a pure rollercoaster. We get soooo close and it just doesn’t work 😞 I really thought transfer number 5 would be the one… maybe 2024 will be the year. Xx

Yea it feels so harsh because everything is in place so why doesn’t it work??

Our 6th transfer was our lucky one. Really hope yours is too xx
