negative this time 😥 on to the next!

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 🤞🏽💜🤗

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 🙏🏼💖

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

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

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

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 💜

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

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

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

Twiglet2 profile image
Twiglet2 in reply tolmno

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 toTwiglet2

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….

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!)

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

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!
