SIGH...end of TWW

Well...today was the end of my TWW and we tested this morning. It was a BFN.  Awesome, again. On top of that I started cramping. Just enough to remind me that AF is suppose to come on Thanksgiving Day.

 

Sorry for the Blahs, but I have to get it out somewhere. My wife really struggles when I get down about this so I try to stay positive for her but I really just want to curl up in a ball and stay there for a few days.

 

I hope the rest of my TWW-ers have better luck

    @shelly2314 I am very sorry to hear about your BFN this cycle.  I also know how hard it is to stay positive cycle after cycle.  Just make sure to be open and honest with your feelings with your wife, and grieve if you need to.  We are all here for you whenever you need to vent!  Be good to yourself and find the good in what you can :)

    I'm sorry to hear that :( I had my fingers crossed for all TWWers. Hopefully thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays will serve as a good distraction as you take the next step in your baby making journey.

    Sorry @shelly2314 :( Have yourself some good wine over Thanksgiving and relax.  I always feel kind of relieved when the 2WW is over - just so I can have a resolution of sorts.  Then I enjoy a beer and a medium-rare burger!  Take good care of yourself!

    BFNs are craptastic. I'm sorry you're going through this and for all the struggles you've had so far. I hope your BFP and take home baby pregnancy comes soon.

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    Our IUIs
    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

    Our IVFs:
    IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

    IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
    BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
    2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
    BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
    1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

    ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

    I still kind of held out hope as I was to get a visit from AF on thanksgiving but it did not come.... until Sunday.  So, here we go again...on the train. We shall see. Dr has decided to put me back on fertility meds, just something lower dosage than clomid (I had really strong reactions to that).  We are on femara (sp?) and then have a mid-cycle u/s next wednesday to see what day would be best to start our TWW again.  Fingers crossed this time.....
