Not the news I was hoping to share today (FET #2)

I took two tests this morning (7dp5dt), and both were negative. I know it’s early, but this is the day I got a positive test with IVF #2 (Kate). It was even earlier than this that I got a positive test for IVF #1 (which ended in the miscarriage of triplets). For now I’m going to continue taking the meds and injections, and I’ll retest on Saturday. It feels like insult to injury that I have to keep taking everything. I can’t help but think I’m wasting it, and that I should be saving the meds for another cycle, or at least donating them to another patient, like I’ve done previously.

Speaking of another cycle, I told my husband this morning that if this FET is a failure like FET #1, I want to do another IVF cycle before we leave Dublin. The timing will be AWFUL (transfer would be near or during our pack out), and of course there’s the money issue. For now I’ll wait (not so patiently) and if I get a positive test, I’ll go in for a beta. Between the negative tests and constant cramps, I'm not hopeful.

  4. I thought for sure I was not pg with my last (3rd) IVF & even got a BFN at 8dp5dt. I got my BFP the day of my beta & my daughter is now 14 weeks old. Wishing you tons of good luck!!!!

  9. Sorry to hear that! Good luck with your next cycle if you decide to do one. I just discovered your blog and am in the same boat -- transferring this summer, trying to squeeze in one more cycle while wrapping up my job and packing out. Good news is that IVF is relatively cheap at my current post (compared to the US); bad news is that the success rates aren't quite as good. Cylce starts tomorrow. (I also have one daughter from an IVF success, but that was back in D.C., which I can't afford to do again.)
