: (

So my beta was negative. I didn't even ask if there was a number. The call hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn't really feel pregnant. But I just didn't really expect to here it was negative either.

Well after having a good cry, lots of hugs from K, and lots of kisses from Bailey I took a deep breath and thought of some good things.

1. Tomorrow is our 6 year anniversary. 6 years of marriage to one of the greatest human beings ever created. We will celebrate with a nice dinner out.
2. Since I'm not pregnant I can have champagne to celebrate our anniversary.
3. Since I'm not pregnant I can have sex to celebrate our anniversary.
4. We have 6 more frosties and I can just roll into another cycle.
5. I don't have to shoot myself in the ass tonight and for another couple of weeks!

At my WTF appointment next week I'm going to ask about transferring 2 next time. I never felt totally comfortable with just one and now that this cycle didn't work I feel more strongly that we should try to increase our chances.

I am so sorry..... I have been saying an extra prayer you would get our much deserved BFP this cycle.

We have severe male factor infertilty and we transferred 2 blasts for our first FET and one tried to implant and stopped growing and the other became my now 6 month old son.

Our clinic is very conservative and we pushed to transfer 2 after transferring 1 did not work for our fresh cycle. They agreed and now always transfer 2 for some reason, day 3 or 5.

I am sending you prayers for your next FET.

((hugs))

I am so sorry about the negative, that really, really stinks.

Happy Anniversary - my fifth anniversary is on the 4th - and I too am lucky to be married to an amazing person.

Oh Echloe, I am so so sorry about the negative. I was really hoping this would be it for you - you've been through so much! I have to say I'm impressed, though, by your ability to grieve and then pick yourself back up and focus on some of the positives. That demonstrates a real strength. Here with you.

I hope you manage to have a good anniversary anyway...

There have been quite a few successes from frozen cycles lately among IF bloggers, so I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers for this next cycle that you also have success.

BFN's are evil...I am so very sorry to hear your bad news. Think positive thoughts about all of the potential those frozen embies have in store for you. sending a hug.

I'm sorry, that blows. But I'm glad you are able to look at the bright side, there are quite a few positives to appreciate, as you point out. I think transferring 2 is a good idea.

janessa said...

First things first. Happy Anniversary to you and K. I hope despite all that's going on, you're able to have a good time to celebrate how far you've come together and the future. Because there is hope in the future.

Secondly, I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking of you this week.

So sorry about the beta. You are absolutely right though, you are in a great position going forward, you have some excellent embryos left and can go straight into the next FET as soon as you are ready. Enjoy your anniversary, there is a lot to be said for great champagne and the other thing for making the world seem better....

So sorry about the negatvie beta. I love how you have chosen to focus on the positive and get right back into another cycle. I think 2 is the way to go next time as well.

Happy anniversary!

I'm so sorry. Enjoy this break from the craziness and seek peace. You still have those 6 frosties. It is such a roller coaster, but you just keep on keeping on. Have a happy anniversary, hon.

Echloe... this is such a downer...
Hugs, big hugs.
nice that your hubby was there for you, and that it does look like you are not stopping, and you got a plan. I like the idea of transferring two frosties. I didn't remember you still had 6 waiting for you. :)))
wonderful ability to pick yourself up with the positives regarding your anniversary. My beta will be on the day of our anniversary... I'm sort of thinking the same thing... and whatever will be, will be.
much love to you

Sally said...

I just had a negative beta & I can't imagine what you are going through with the loss of your child too. Your strength & preserverance is insiprational. :)

Do you suffer FIBROID? The cure/solution is available now, Dr. Uduehi has the solution to fibroid and I am a testimony to his medication. I was a victim of UTERINE FIBROID for years. I had Pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding symptoms and miscarriages. I took different type medicine and even did surgery and it came back after some time, I read about Dr. Uduehi’s recommendation online and I reached out to him and the fibroid shrink totally after the medication and it’s more than a year since I got free no sign of fibroid and am pregnant now for the first time.
