chemical pregnancy

[Aifos]

We have transferred our last frozen embryo (5 day blastocyst) 2 weeks ago. I started testing on day 5 because I know almost everyone on this IVF journey knows that’s when they usually starts to see a line. I tested positive on day 5 post embryo transfer. We were so happy thinking that finally we have done it! I was testing everyday to check for line progression. From day 6-8 line is slowly getting darker, then comes day 9 when I start to notice that the line is fading so I was starting to get worried. I felt this sudden heartbreak and already knew that this embryo stopped developing. I was not being negative but I just have this gut feeling. I tested using clearblue digital just so I can still see that “pregnant” sign just to make me feel a little bit better knowing that yes I am pregnant even just for a while. On day 10, I noticed that the line was getting fainter and fainter until day 11 just stark white. I am still testing until today, day 12. BFN. Test day is in 2 days but I already know the answer. Im still going to take all the meds until they tell me to stop knowing full well they will in 2 days time.

I really thought this cycle will be it. We have transferred a perfect 4AA day 5 blastocyst. Our rainbow baby.

We will still do another cycle of IVF. Im not giving up yet. I know this is just part of this journey.

Aw I'm so sorry to see this - it's utterly heartbreaking to see those lines and then have them taken away. I hope you're taking care of yourself and allowing yourself to feel everything you need to. Sending much love to you xx

From someone who is currently dealing with the emotions of a chemical pregnancy following our 3rd FET, I just wanted to send you some love and strength. It’s utterly heartbreaking to see that positive for it to then disappear so quickly after. I have really struggled to come to terms with it and have cried for 3 days whilst I still feel the pain I don’t think I have anymore tears left to cry! Well done for not giving up though and I hope next time will be the one. We have 1 day 5 blastocyst left in the freezer so as soon as we can we will be going again too but for now I am taking each day by day and allowing myself time to grieve. Take care of yourself too and reach out to those around you xxx

I am so sorry for your loss, it happened to me exactly the same 2 transfers ago and I am bracing myself that it might happen with this transfer too. Sending my thoughts
