BFN and possible treatment break

in TTC after 35
So this cycle was a bust.:( I had a negative hpt this morning so I wasn't surprised about the beta results.
MH and I have decided we need a change of scenery, so we're going to visit his family in France for a few weeks in September. Now we need to decide if we want to fit one more cycle before the trip or skip this cycle and the next and start again when we get home.
Bright spot of the day: There is a catering shop near my home that makes some great sandwiches that I occasionally pick up for lunch...I went to pay and realized I forgot my wallet. I offered to go home and get it was told to consider it an I.O.U. b/c he'd seen me in there before and knew I'd be back. I can't tell you how much I needed that random act of kindness today.

HUGS! Sorry your appointment didn't bring good news.
Good luck with your decision. Nobody know what is best for you except you and your husband. I was going to take this cycle off because the due date is almost the same as the baby we lost, but my husband convinced me otherwise...and you know how that worked out:) (more on that in another thread)
I'm sorry about your bfn. Hugs.
France!! That is so cool
Good luck in your decision to cycle before or after the trip.
ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY! Aiden was born 08/20/2013.
IVF #2 is in progress. ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI. ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived. We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14. 1st beta - 111. 2nd beta - 159 didn't double
3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic. Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome? 06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope! 06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally! 06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great 
EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!
"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
I am so sorry to hear that. I'll be starting injects probably this next cycle and with all of the money it is going to cost (OOP), I dread having another BFN. I also can't decide whether or not to start injects at the beginning of September or to give it a break and start in October. We'll be going on a short vacation at the beginning of September and I don't know if I want the stress of trying to figure out when to come home for monitoring...but I also don't want to lose another month.
Oh, I wish we could travel to another country, even just Hawaii and get away. Have fun in France, I bet the trip will be good for you!
So sorry about the BFN.
I was in Paris for the first time in February. LOVED loved loved loved it. I hope you have a fantastic time in France. Relax a bit, bd like crazy just for the fun of it. have a good time.
Come back refreshed and recharged.

Hugs. I'm sorry about the BFN.
France in September sounds marvelous.
I hear you about the money...I am fortunate that we at least have coverage for the meds, although we still have to pay the clinic for the monitoring and IUIs. Injectible cycles also have a lot more monitoring, so it's stressful trying to juggle everything and get to more appointments.

I'm glad you enjoyed Paris so much. I've enjoyed our visits to Paris, although my husband is from the south so that's where we'll be this time. It's really grown on me over the years and I start to miss it when we've been away too long.
