I started spotting yesterday a little. So I tested this morning and it was negative. I'm almost more in shock than I am sad. There has to be something else wrong to fail 2 IVFs when they were supposedly 'perfect'.
TTC #1 since 6/09 Dx: PCOS and MFI 3 IUIs, 4 IVFs = BFFN 3rd RE: IVF #5/FET = BFP 14dp5dt=1170 16dp5dt=2573 1st u/s=TWINS! It's a Boy and a Girl!
Hootie, I am so, so sorry. I was crossing my fingers for you that the spotting was a good sign, not a bad one. 2 failed IVFs just sucks. I don't even know another word for it. Have you called your doctor's office to see what they have to say, or do you still have to wait until Friday?
Ugh, again, I am so sorry. If you want to vent/talk/discuss, feel free to PM me. ((HUGS))
The Table Has Shoes (and Other Ambiguities)
Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!
I am so, so sorry. (((hugs))) Try to take care of yourself as best you can.
This is totally not fair and I hope you get some answers to your questions at your WTF. That said, I also know that "they" say even if things look good sometimes it can take 3 (or 4) cycles to stick, for whatever reason... I know that doesn't help how you feel right now, and it sucks to fall on that end of the spectrum, but maybe cycle 3 will work if you choose to continue on this path.
(((hugs)))
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.
Hope is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - and sings the tune without the words - and never stops - at all - (Emily Dickinson)
I am so sorry hootie! I hope that someone can give you some answers about why this isn't working when things have been spot on during your cycles. ((Big Big Hugs))

I'm so so sorry, hon. ((HUGE HUGS)) After my second failed IVF cycle, I felt the need to get a second opinion. I ended up doing my third IVF cycle with my original RE. However, they second opinion RE came up with a few additional items/tweaks that we implemented and I think that helped me out a lot. IVF BFNs are just so hard.
