Infertility

I feel like someone died....

this IVF BFN hurts so badly. I feel like someone died, and in a sense, I guess 'someone' did. Even though I tried to keep myself guarded, and not be too optimistic, it still hurts and all those thoughts of maternity leave, announcing we've finally pg, having a live baby for the holidays, etc. just keep playing over and over in my head.

I just want to crawl in bed and not come out.

  • I'm so sorry. I totally get how you feel. With our IVF #1 BFN DH called the people who knew what was going on (so they didn't try to contact me).  It did seem like someone had died and he was sharing the bad news. Hang in there.

  • I totally understand. I felt that way exactly after IVF#1 was a BFN. I felt like those embryos were potential babies, and that they died in my uterus. It's a loss of so many dreams.

    ((hugs)) and spend the weekend in bed if you need to.

    IVF BFNs are the worst.  It will take some time to feel better - but you will, I promise.  For now, it's OK to crawl into bed if you want.  (((hug)))

  • Ugh, I'm so sorry.  Yes, it absolutely feels like a death.  It's the loss of all the dreams and fantasies you shaped around the cycle that you planned for, and worried about, and worked so hard at.  I don't have any words to make it make sense, or suck less.  I can just say I'm really sorry. 
                                  

      
                                   
  • You have every right to feel that way - it is a loss - it is very sad and I cannot even imagine the pain you are going thru - I think the same way as you do - but it is always in the back of our heads that maybe just maybe it will work - we all do that.  I am so sorry - I wish there was something that I could say to make you feel better - just know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  • Oven, I'm so sad for you!!! I want to crawl in a hole for you, it's just so not fair and so hard to think positive when you feel so let down.  Hang in there!!

  • I am so sorry.  Sometimes crawling in a hole for awhile isn't a bad idea.  When you're ready to come back out, know that we are all here for you. Take care of yourself this weekend.

  • I know exactly how your feel.  After my first IVF was a monumental failure, I just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.  I spent the whole weekend miserable.  I've had two miscarriages and for some reason the fact that the IVF failed hurt more than those had.  I have never felt so hopeless or distraught in my life.  But it passed.  It still sucks, but I feel much better now.  Maybe it's because I've had a few weeks to recover, or maybe it's because I'm working on IVF#2. . . but that awful gut-wrenching feeling has gone away.  I'm just afraid it will be back again if IVF#2 fails, too. 

     

    Take the time you need to grieve and then do something really nice for yourself- you deserve it!  I'm so sorry that you're feeling this way.  I'm sending you positive thoughts.

  • I'm so sorry. IVF BFN's are so hard. You invest so much in them and when it it doesn't work out, it just feels so hopeless. Hang in there. You WILL get through this.
  • I know what you're feeling and it really sucks. Stupid IF!!! I'm so sorry. I crawled into bed and didn't come out for a whole day when I got mine. If that's what you need to do, then do it. (((HUGS)))
