BFN so far

I know several of you are going to be looking for this today. Well, after 3 FRERs since last night (don't tell C. She doesn't support my POAS addiction), not even a faint second line yet. I know it is still early, so I'm not giving up. At this point, no news from me means continued BFNs. Beta is a week from today.

On the upside, I haven't had any spotting/bleeding yet. Even with a progesterone supported cycle before, 10 dpo is usually when I start spotting. I keep waiting for it because that's just what I'm used to. Thank you all for your positive thoughts for this cycle. Keep them coming please and thank you :)

Me: 30  DW (aka C): 29

Together since 2/15/11 ~ Legally married in NY on 9/29/12

***CP mentioned***

We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm.  8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy.  We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET.  I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013. 

11/14/14 -  Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good. 

12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2

12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)

1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2

 ****All Welcome!****

We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.

    There's still plenty of time to turn that second line!  Keep testing and we'll keep hoping.

    ARGH, still plenty of time though.  FWIW, I tested 10DPI and got a BFN.  I was SO bummed.   I was visiting my family and really wanted to be able to share good news, as they all knew we were TTC.  I sulked and had (gasp) 2 beers at the airport before our flight home.  2 days later I retested and got my first ever faint BFP.

    There's still hope!

    Sending all my good thoughts your way today.

    Sorry to hear that, but like others said it's still really early!  You're technically 10 DPO now in IVF lingo, right?  Keep testing!!  Get yourself some 88 cent Walmart tests.  I actually got my first faint BFP on one of those, then confirm with a FRER.  You could pee on 7 or 8 Walmart cheapie tests before you'd pay for the full cost of 2 FRER tests.  Just my advice to save a couple bucks and indulge your pee stick addiction.

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!  I'm rooting for you over here and have my fingers crossed for a BFP!!!
