I thought that some nice pictures of the dogs might ease you all into bad news.
We just got the call from the clinic.
BFN.
We are devastated, but not surprised. I guess the Dollarama pregnancy tests were more correct than that stupid Clearblue Easy Plus.
I’m supposed to stop all my meds, aside from my thyroxine, and AF should arrive within 2-5 days.
I feel like I need a vacation. Take me away from this cold, terrible place.
Never did I ever think that we would blow through all seven blastocysts and be worse off than before we started. Some believe that there is a lesson in each failed IVF cycle. What have we learned?
– DW can’t hold a pregnancy past the first week
– I can’t hold a pregnancy to heartbeat viability
The reasons for DW’s failed attempts are unknown, and my diagnosis is weak at best.
Where do we go from here?
Oh I’m so sorry sweetie. I wish I had answers for you. A warm vacation definitely sounds lovely. Xx
Thanks. With teachers possibly going on strike in the next couple of months, we need to tighten up our finances a bit… Which means no vacation. But having time with DW will be nice.
I am so sorry. Words seem so inadequate, but please know that you are both in my thoughts.
Thanks Molly, I know that you’re experiencing loss of your own, and appreciate the thoughts.
Shit. Shit. Shit. I’m so so sorry. Sending you big love.
Thanks Andie. Looking forward, I am thinking that we might do PGD/S. I would love to pick your brain, and will probably send you a message over FB.
Yes. Please let me know how i can be supportive!
Love of learning only goes so far. Sincerest sympathies to you both and best wishes as you search for illumination of the path that follows.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry. A vacation sounds like it’d be good for you, someplace warm.
Thank you. Unfortunately, the vacation may have to wait until March break, as our union is likely to strike in January/February. We’re also thinking of doing another IVF, which will be costly.
I’m sorry. I’ve been hoping I would suddenly see a good news post from you soon. I’m sure you would have loved nothing more than to be able to post one too. Thinking of you both.
Thank you. I feel like it’s been a whole lot of bad news posts from me unfortunately, and have wished so hard for a good one. Maybe 2015 will be better.
I am so sorry.
Thank you Fried.
Damn. I am very sorry. There are no words for this. Please know I am holding you both in my thoughts.
Thanks Spiritbaby. Your story gives me hope, and I am willing 2015 to come faster so that we can start again anew.
Oh feck this sucks and I am so sorry for the loss of your latest embryos and your hopes that this time might be the one. This hideous ‘journey’ just doesn’t get any easier does it? Sending you much love. X
Thank you. Yes, it really is a torturous journey that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.
I am so very sorry. There are no words I can give you but just know that you are both in my thoughts. Xox
Thank you. I am sending you some sticky thoughts for your TWW.
Damn it. Just damn it. I’m so deeply sorry.
Thank you. I appreciate your support.
I am so incredibly sorry. There are no words right now. I am just heartbroken for you.
Thanks MPB. I am so heartbroken too, but trying to look ahead, as reflecting on all of the tragedies of 2014 is too much for me.
I love the idea of looking ahead to 2015, and not looking back at all the hurt and pain that has been. I will be stealing this approach!
Yes, 2014 has been gut-wrenching for both of us, but I am hopeful that things can turn around. It’s bound to right?
I sure hope so! We both deserve and need some goodness to come our way.
I’m so sorry. I was sooo hoping for a strong BFP for you. Going through IVF so many times and ending empty handed must be horrific, my sympathies!!! XO
Yeah, it really is. IVF was supposed to work. I had so many embryos, and they looked so good. I don’t know what went wrong.
All of this IF shit is frustrating, theres just no clear cut answers. Im so sorry.
Oh, no. This is achingly devastating. I echo what everyone else says: there aren’t the proper words in the English language to properly express how I feel for you. “I’m sorry” sounds so cheap. Just know I hold you in my thoughts often, and I am deeply sorry for what you’ve been living through.
Thanks Lindsay. I just need to find some distractions until the pain of this wears off.
I’m so sorry. Please know that I’m thinking of you both.
Thank you.
Ugh- I am so very sorry for this news. Hugs to you both during this hard time. I hope you treat yourselves to a vacation.
Thank you. We will find a way to get through this. If nothing else, the past two years has made us stronger as a couple.
So sorry to hear dat….my prayers are with you both
Thank you.
I’m so sorry đŸ˜¦
Thank you.
I know there aren’t really any words that can help, but just to let you know, my thoughts are with you both.
Thank you.
I am so sorry. You and DW are such special parents who deserve a baby so much. You’ve always been an inspiration to me. I can only imagine how hopeless and awful this must feel. You are in my thoughts, and if you need to talk you know where to find me.
Thank you.
This effing sucks…i’m devastated by this news… my heart aches for you and DW…we think the world of you two and are so sad for you both. Know that we are thinking of you and that you are in our hearts and prayers.
Thanks girls. It’s nice to have your support.
There isnt much i can say that hasnt already been said. Just know youre in my prayers.
Thank you.
I am so so sorry. I’ll be thinking of you both.
So so sorry. I havent been by in a wh
I am so sorry. I havent been by in a while and this is not what i was expecting to read. No words can ease your pain so ill just wish for a better year for you next year.
Thank you. Never did I expect to still be at it a year after our first IVF. I am really hoping that 2015 is our year đŸ™‚
