So last night, in the G&B post, the girls started talking about it being so sad and they were bawling watching it. I wasn't able to watch it on time, so when we did ge to it about an hour later, I thought for *my* worst.....none of the embryos made the thaw. Right? Nope. The transfer went great. So then I moved on to another miscarriage. Skipped right over a BFN. I have been through too many of those ART BFNs.
Please don' think that the BFNs are anything but absolutely heart-shattering..... I just am in a place where everything in my IF like goes for the less than 1% odds of happening.... *sigh* Yes, I am a jaded son of a b!tch. *more sighs*

i haven't seen episode yet cutie but i agree BFN's suck (and paying for a BFN is awful) but i would rather a BFN than m/c.

With my BFNs, I often wonder "is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." It clearly is better to never have loved at all. I can't even imagine the sort of pain you've felt over your IF journey and I'm so sorry any of you have gone through it.
huge hugs!
TTC since August 2008
