Secondary IF

BFFN

I tested ar 13 dpo and got a bffn, my temp dropped to right at the cover line and I started to spot. I don't know why I thought I'd get my BFP right after my m/c, but I am so upset.

This week we would have been having the anatomy scan and learning the gender. Instead we are starting the first of our final 3 cycles.

I got so sad when I was thinking about my DS being the only kid for all holidays, vacations, etc. My brother isn't married (and won't be) and my SIL can't have kids, so DS won't have any cousins either. I don't have cousins, but I have very fond memories of me and my brother at all kinds of family events. Even if we fought a lot, we were best of friends then, and didn't mind being the only kids. 

I feel sorry for myself and for DS. I know it isn't over yet, but I feel like it is. I'll be 38 next month and just can't keep this up much longer. Guess I'm just throwing a pity party. 

Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10

TTC #2 since Dec 2011
BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12

  • I'm so sorry.  Nothing I can say can take away the sadness or disappointment, but I'm so sorry.

  • I'm so sorry. hugs
  • I'm so sorry it was a BFN. The Dr always tell me that you chances go up the first few cycles after m/c. Hopefully next month you will be successful. I really can relate to your posts. I am 38 too and can't do this much longer either. When I have a sad IF day I do something fun with my DD. It helps me take my mind off it. Sending hugs!

  • Thanks, ladies. I knew you all would understand. Already having a better morning and DH, DS, and I have some fun things planned today. Then I'm going to go get a pedicure when they go to the grocery store. :-)

  • I am so sorry.  BFN's are harder and harder each time.  I think about siblings for my DS too.  It makes it more heartbreaking.  I am thinking of you.

  • Dont give up. Try to feel positive. My cousin has had over 8 m/c, an eptopic pregnancy which left her with one tube, she tried IVF 3 times, her last cycle was cancelled bc none of her eggs were good and she is pregnant with 4th child. She is the reason why I know another angel is finding its way to me and you.

  • i'm so sorry.  sometimes you just gotta let yourself have that pity party, it helps get it out of your system so you can move on.  last week when I got AF i thought i was ok, then while on a trail run I had a minor crying breakdown, so it comes out somehow whether you want it to or not.  Glad your day is looking up a bit now though.
