I'm sorry. I think the first treatment cycle hurts more b/c it opens you up to being more optimistc since you've added a new element to the routine of BFNs. Almost like "well now that I've gotten a little help, it will work this time!" It sucks. I hope you get your BFP soon.
I am so sorry! The first cycle hurt for me also a lot worse than I thought. I think we all assume we will be one of the lucky ones that are one and done. BIG (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry. I am currently in my first treatment cycle (beta Friday, tested tues with a bfn) and I totally understand the renewed hope. I loved it the first week or so, now I'm a little bit of a negative nancy. Take some time for yourself, good luck!
Thanks Ladies! I feel a bit better today - just waiting for AF.
The worst part was that I was being really good about waiting until Friday to test, but had to go in for some other bloodwork yesterday and they sprung the HCG test on me - i sooo wasn't mentally prepared and then to get the bad news that afternoon - UGH! I've learned my lesson though - no other bloodwork during the 2WW!
At least today will be sunny and beautiful and I can look forward to starting the next cycle. You are right though - I thought that with the extra help and 2 good follies, something positive was BOUND to come out of it. Next cycle, I'll be a little more cautious. And the phantom symptoms from the Progesterone supps probably didn't help much either.
