Well on day 13piui (Saturday) AF decided to reveal herself. She's been nasty too. I've had low back pain, been crampy and moody. My mood might be because I'm so disappointed that it didn't work though. I haven't been on here to share until now because of my mood either.
I feel so depressed and alone. I just don't understand. Everyone at the clinic was so optimistic what with my cycle being so different that they said it is what I probably needed to work. Then it didn't yet again. It's not fair. There's no reason for it not to work. It didn't help any that it seemed like all my friends were busy this weekend and I was literally alone.
So due to $$ and not knowing what to do I'm taking the next cycle off and have an appointment with the RE to see if he thinks I should do anything different. At least I'll be able to enjoy alcohol and the hot tub again for a little while.
On top of that, I spoke with my MIL on Sunday and she asked if I had heard anything. I told her the bad news and she had the nerve to tell me that maybe I should stop trying and that maybe it wasn't meant to be and that maybe that is why I met my DH to be mother to his 2 boys instead. WTF. She didn't quite say it like that but I still couldn't believe she was saying that.
Anyway, thanks for listening. A little vent always helps.
Re: BFN :( feel depressed and alone
Oh not what you needed to hear, Im sorry that your depressed. I know nothing may seem like it will help, but do somehing nice for yourself or indulge in a treat that you wouldn't normally have.
Clomid- No response
Metformin 1500 mg Femara 5mg + Trigger + TI Round 2 = BFP!
Beta 13DPO: 115, Beta 16dpo: 561 BFP Chart
So sorry to hear your news!!! It's hard when things go so smoothly and there are no real answers for why it didn't work. :-( The alcohol, helped me out a lot!
When I got my last negative MY mother told me that this was just all too emotional and we needed to stop trying and put all of our energy and finances toward adoption. I got off the phone with her. Later when I was calmer I explained to her, that I'm going to be sad, I'm going to cry and I'm going to be upset, but I have my breakdown and then I move on and I'm ready to try again, not give up. All that to say, I'm really sorry about what you're dealing with and the things that she said, it's hard sometimes hearing things from people who you know love you and want to help but that don't actually help at all!
Hopefully, you can relax a little for your month off and get some good info from your RE before moving forward again. Good luck.

I am so sorry about your BFN and that your MIL had that reaction. Hopefully she isn't really one of those malicious MILs and she was just trying in her own way to offer you her idea of comfort, but its hard to see comments like that as anything but hurtful. People who have never dealt with IF just have no idea how to react when really all we need to hear is "I'm so sorry." It's reactions like this that make people like me hide my IF.
I hope you can have a nice big glass of vino while in the hot tub at least once a week during your break cycle. Good luck with your next RE appointment, I hope you can get some clarity on next steps.
