TTC after 35

BFN and possible treatment break

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 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!

    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.

  • So sorry about your BFN.  It's hard to make the decision not to cycle, but sometimes it's a blessing and a glorious break from all things TTC.  That sandwich shop guy would have gotten my lifetime business for the IOU, nice to see some kindness just for the sake of kindness.  Have fun in Paris, I've never been but home to someday get there (if TTC ever stops eating every random $ that ends up in our bank account)
