IVF#1=BFN.

in Infertility
I'm not even all that shocked. I POAS yesterday morning before going in for beta. And then, my insurance requires a copay of $38 for the lab work that I KNOW is going to be a BFN. Oh, the cruelty of it all. The nurse called me this morning with the results and I think she took it harder than I did. So now, stopping meds and awaiting AF and going from there. We want to go ahead and plan a FET with our 6 embies, all 5 days blasts. We are thinking of transferring 2 the next time. 

My biggest fear is that AF is going to be brutal this month. Anyone have that problem or were they pleasantly surprised? 
Me- 35 Dx endo; DH- 33 no probs.
BFP#1 (totally a wonderful surprise)- 3/10/11. IUFD 6/25/11. 
TTC since 8/2011.
BFP#2- 11/1/11. EDD 7/6/12. Blighted ovum 12/1/11.

New OBGYN 12/2012- CD3 labs, SA, HSG normal. 
First RE appt 1/16/2013. Unexplained infertility. Lap planned. 

12/2012- Clomid 50mg + TI= BFN 
1/2013- Clomid 50mg + TI= BFN.

 Lap 2/11/2013- Removed endo. 

3/2013- Clomid + IUI= BFN
4/2013- Clomid + IUI= BFN
5/2013- Clomid + IUI= BFN

June 2013- Time for a new RE!

July 2013- We're in Shared Risk! Love my new RE!
August 2013- IVF#1- 14 R, 11F, transferred 1 perfect blast, 5 day 5 frosties= BFN.
Sept 2013- Let's get ready for FET October 7th ish!< transfer 2 embies 10/11/13.......BFP 10/18/13!!!!/div>

PAIF/SAIF and everyone is welcome. If I can make even one person's journey less painful, I will consider my experience here successful. Thank you to all for sharing their stories, the intimate details of their lives, their knowledge, and their hearts. I hope this experience changes me, always for the better.

    my period after both my failed ivfs were super light and short!  I'm sorry about your bfn, even when you expect it, it still sucks.  I'm glad you have 6 frosty blasts, that's awesome!

    I'm so sorry it didn't work.

    As for your question, my first period after IVF was lighter and shorter than normal.  The second was heavier.  It can take a little time for your body to fully recover and shed everything.




    dx:  Unexplained IF
     TTC since May 2011, 1 year trying, and then 3 TI, 2 IUI = BFN
    IVF #1 (May 2013):  Antagonist Protocol: 
    24R, 18M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 2 early blasts, no frosties = BFN
     IVF #2 (August 2013):  Lupron Stop Protocol: 
    28R, 23M, 15F w/ICSI; 5dt of 1 partially hatched blast, 7 frosties = BFP
    EDD 5/23/14, blighted ovum (6w6d), D&C (8w6d)
    FET #1 (April 2014):  transferred 2 5d blasts = BFP

    I'm sorry about the BFN.  I just started my period today after IVF #1 failed and so far it's been a normal period, maybe even a little lighter than normal.

    IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.
    IVF #4: Antagonist protocol with endometrial scratch day one of stims.  ER 4/21: 6R/4M/3F- transferred 2 beautiful blasts (5dt) and one was hatching!  No frosties but hoping we won't need it!  Beta 5/4/14- 444(8dp5dt), Beta #2 10dp5dt 1002!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!  First US 5/15 we saw two of the most beautiful gestational and yolk sacs I have ever seen!

    Married August 2012 -- Me (40 yrs old) My husband (45 yrs. old)

      Decided to do IVF... Began stimming on September 10th!  Egg Retrieval 9/20/13.  19 eggs: 6 to mature to freeze after 6 fertilized with ICSI

     3 morula stage embryos transferred on 9/25/13.....Beta #1 on 10/4/13/ = 7.5  Beta #2 on 10/6/13 =  negative

      IVF#2 - Lupron plan  (set to begin on 10/28/13)  (Planning on thawing and fertilizing our 6 eggs with ICSI as well as all of the mature eggs they retrieve with this fresh cycle.)

    I'm sorry it didn't take.  After my first IVF (we didn't even make it to the transfer) AF was much lighter than I expected and wasn't any longer or shorter than usual.  Fx that your FET is more successful.
