negative this time 😥 on to the next!

[Twiglet2]

hey lovely people I hope you are all doing okay and had a nice Easter!

It’s a BFN for us with this fresh transfer (of a 4AB). I tested negative at days 7&8 past after a line at 4&5 days that got our hopes up a bit! This was our 5th egg collection trying for a sibling, Yesterday was my birthday (42nd) so it stung that little bit more yesterday BUT today I dust myself off and remember we have another 4AB in the freezer this time (haven’t had anything to freeze the past few cycles) and that our miracle wee guy from a FET in 2020 is soon to be 3 so there’s nothing to say this next FET won’t be the one!

So I will email the clinic on Friday test day and then we will get the ball rolling again for our frozen transfer (after a Thomas and paw patrol filled 3rd bday party of course 🤪🫣😂).

Thanks as always to everyone for their support this cycle & Good luck to everyone else testing this week I hope this is the lucky one for you 🤞🏽💜🤗

Bless you - happy belated birthday and a lovely 3rd birthday soon to your son. Keep Faith x

Thank you xx

[Doodlebug23]

So sorry to read this 🥲 I was determined it was our time. I’m holding out till OTD but I’ve got period like cramps so I’m not really hopeful. Trying to stay positive and manifest all that positive energy 🙏🏼💖

[Twiglet2 in reply to Doodlebug23]

Cramps can also be a good sign I’ve got my fingers crossed for you for test day 🤗💜

[Doodlebug23 in reply to Twiglet2]

I’ve been trying to ignore all symptoms 🙈

Oh so sorry. I’m on a roller coaster journey for a sibling too. It’s really hard. Am about to embark on our 8th and final transfer. Just want the journey to be over if I’m honest, one way or another. Sending you loads of love and luck for your next one xx

[Twiglet2 in reply to hifer]

I can understand that, it will be good to have a life without IVF at some point for sure! Whatever way it ends 💜 xx

[Darcy1996]

sorry to read this Twiglet2 - remember, if you can get through a Paw Patrol party, you can get through anything. But all jokes aside, so very sorry and hope you’ve got some time for you too 💜

[Twiglet2 in reply to Darcy1996]

Haha that’s true! Thank you 🤗

[lmno]

Oh I’m gutted for you - was hoping this was the one. I’m holding out to test day (tomorrow) but already know I’m out too. Hope you’re still able to enjoy some birthday treats. Sending love xx

[Twiglet2 in reply to lmno]

Still hopeful for you I saw your test didn’t work 🫣 that happened to me one of the days this week as well but don’t worry about first morning urine mine is actually always more accurate in the afternoon! Xx

[lmno in reply to Twiglet2]

It’s just happened again with another test?! Genuinely my first thought was “maybe I don’t exist!” 🤣

[Twiglet2 in reply to lmno]

Jeezo!! You defo exist I wonder why that is? Maybe keep it in a wee pot to dip it it? I used a sample bottle from the docs last cycle when I was doing the weeks indicators every day as they are really difficult to get right I feel and too expensive to waste if I didn’t get enough in it! Xx

[lmno in reply to Twiglet2]

Yes will try dipping it next time, have literally never had to do that before. Decided the universe is just laughing at me but I won’t let it have the last laugh. Have the day off, a box of tissues, wine and Easter chocolate at the ready….

[MiniCeeCee]

sending lots of love and strength on this tough roller-coaster xx

[Twiglet2 in reply to MiniCeeCee]

Thank you much needed and appreciated xx

[Greenleaves1]

[Twiglet2 in reply to Greenleaves1]

Sorry to hear about the BFN Twiglet2, but well done for dusting yourself off and thinking forward! You never know with the next one, hopefully that little 4AB will be it!!🤞🤩

[Twiglet2 in reply to Esb27]

Thanks so much I hope so!! 🤞🏽🤗

[lighthouse27]

So sorry to hear this... It's such a tough journey x

[Twiglet2 in reply to lighthouse27]

Thank you xx

[PenguinBlue]

so sorry to read this Twiglet! You are a super trooper and have everything crossed for the next transfer. Hope your 42nd year is the best yet! X

[Twiglet2 in reply to PenguinBlue]

Aww thank you ☺️ that’s a lovely message xx

[MrsOrangejuice]

I'm sorry Twiglet, that is very disappointing news. But your son has one tough mama and your attitude and resilience is inspiring, you are an amazing role model. Here's to the FET (and paw patrol!)

[Twiglet2 in reply to MrsOrangejuice]

Thanks lovely hope you are doing okay xx

[CardiGrey]

Thinking of you x

[Twiglet2 in reply to CardiGrey]

Thank you 💜

[C-a-t-m-u-m]

I am so sorry Twiglet it’s so bloody unfair ❤️ I’ve decided to have a long break from trying for a sibling I didn’t realise it would be this hard all over again. Sending you a big hug it hurts so much and it’s so unfair. You are so strong and you have your little one left that could be and hopefully the one ❤️ feel free to message. I used my last frostie in February hoping for a sibling and it was a bfn xx

[Twiglet2 in reply to C-a-t-m-u-m]

Thanks lovely, I totally understand where you are coming from it’s just so hard to balance everything and take the heartache isn’t it 😢💜 xx

[Sarah24601]

Awww sorry to read this, really hoping the next cycle works for you! Happy birthday for the other day and happy 3rd birthday to your son 🙂.We're about to test (on Saturday) for our FET (part of our 1st cycle.) did cheekily test early this morning due to experiencing symptoms and it has come out BFN, so it's dashed out hopes a bit but there's a tiny bit holding out for Saturday 🤞🏼. Best of luck with your FET!

[Twiglet2 in reply to Sarah24601]

Thank you and I’m so sorry I hope to turns around for you! I’m not even bothering testing tomorrow on OTD got my period today just to confirm it all 🤪

[Sarah24601 in reply to Twiglet2]

Thank you. Unfortunately not feeling overly hopeful as we've had nothing but bad news within my family recently.Awww I'm sorry. Really hope your next round works! 🤞🏻

[Millbanks]

Aww Twiglet! Sorry to read this. I never thought it would be so hard 2nd time round - what is that all about???

Sending you a massive hug xx

[Twiglet2 in reply to Millbanks]

I know 🙄☹️😭 will get there eventually though 🤗💜 xx

[Daisy-Delilah]

I’m so sorry to hear this Twiglet. I thought this was going to be your lucky one. It must be the frostie waiting for you! 💕🤞🏻 xxx

[Twiglet2 in reply to Daisy-Delilah]

Thanks, it better be 🤣 xx

[Eternalwarrior]

I am so sorry, Twiglet 🥲 it is so hard 🥲 I really hope the next one sticks. We are also on our quest for a sibling and I keep repeating to myself, if it has worked once, why cant it work again?! Belated happy birthday!! Hugs 🤗 xxx

[Twiglet2 in reply to Eternalwarrior]

Thank you and those are very wise words 💜🤗 xx
