Negative HPT after 10 day Embryo Transfer

[krabean]

I just took a pregnancy test this morning and it came out negative. :(  I am 10 days post a 5 day embryo transfer and I have had no pregnancy symptoms what so ever. I cried when I saw the 1 line of the Early Response Pregnancy test my beta isn't until Wed but I am feeling pretty low and doubt very seriously that I am pregnant but I wanted to see if anyone else had tested negative on a hpt 10 or more days after a 5 day ET but tested positive at their blood test? This is our second attempt at a frozen embryo transfer and I was really praying that it took this time.

[krabean]

You probably know how reassuring it is to have someone give you hope when it feels like there is none to be found. So I am sending out sticky embryo thoughts and prayers to you. Please let me know how your beta goes tomorrow and I will do the same on Wednesday.

Just got the call fron the nurse. My beta was negative. I havent broken the news to my husband yet. Trying my best not to lose faith. Thanks for the well wishes. Im praying that you will have good news tomorrow. Keep me posted.

[krabean]

I am so sorry to hear that, I know how tough it is but don't lose faith we are all trying to find our Golden Egg. Were you able to freeze any embryos or will have to do a fresh IVF cycle?

I will let you know how it goes for me tomorrow but I have already asked to take 1/2 the day off because I can't stand to get the news at work again. The first time it was brutal and I had to sneak out so that no one could see that I was crying.

[krabean]

The RE just called and said our beta came back negative which is very depressing.

[Miss410]

Awww, im so sorry to hear that. Im still having a hard time processing this. We decided not to freeze until the 3rd cycle. I have PCOS so I dont have any problem making eggs. Our first cycle we had 31 eggs retrieved and 27 fertilized.

I left work early yesterday after getting the news, for the same reason; didnt want anyone to see me crying. And I called out today because my mood has been up and down.

We going to try another cycle. Im meeting with my  doctor on Friday.  Did you do your cycles back to back or did you take time off between cycles? I dont know ir I can deal with this over and over again. Since I have PCOS maturing the eggs are extremly painful for me because I develop so many. The 2 days before my retrival and the 2 days after I could hardly walk. But the emotional pain is even worse.

Well, im sending you a cyber hug xoxoxo"

[Miss410]

Your not alone. Thanks for staying in touch with me. besides my husband I dont have much support around this.

Take care, and keep me posted. I'll let yoy know how my appt goes on Friday.

[krabean]

I feel the same way, not many people can relate to what we are going through. I havn't rested between my cycles I just kind of want to keep trying so that if it doesn't work this last time I can start the heeling process.

I can't imaging going through a fresh cycle because I hyper stimed 3 years ago when we had our son. I'm probably going to meet with my original RE so I will let you know how it goes.

I'm looking forward to hearing how yours goes on Friday.

[Miss410]

Hi Krabean,

My appoint went okay on Friday. My doc gave the okay to start cycle 2 but wanted me btobwait

[Miss410]

to wait until next month for insurance clearance. I refused to waitband decidedbto move on anyway. So now im back to the Follistim shots. Today is day 5 or my cycle. How are you doing?

[krabean]

I am doing good it has taken me a long time to get over my last failed embryo transfer but I'm back and ready to go. I am starting back on birth control today and am waiting on my new calendar. I should be starting Lupron in a week or so. I will keep you posted. :)

[Miss410]

Hello Krabean, just thinking about you. How are you doing?

[krabean]

I'm doing well thank you for checking on me. :) I started Lupron today so we are gearing up for hopefully our “third times a charm” embryo transfer.

I have noticed that I am gaining a lot of weight during each of my rounds. I am glad this is the last one because if I keep going like this I will weigh a ton.

I'll keep you posted.

[Miss410]

TELL ME ABOUT IT!
I am gaining so much weight! I had my second transfer on 8/28. My beta is scheduled for Saturday. But like before I am not feeling any symptoms and I lost 5lbs since my transfer.  and im afraid that this one wasnt sucessful either. I think I might take a few cycles off to think about if we really want to do this again. And to give my body sometime to lose some more of the 20 lbs I put on.

[racheldenise]

I just wanted to wish the both of you good luck. I did 2 failed fresh ivf and 2 failed FETs. We switched RE's this year and I am now 10 weeks pregnant with twin boys. Have faith. Research your diagnosis and make sure your stimming what's right for your body. I also had failed implantation and I believe it came down to suppressing my immune system starting at CD1 with a low dose of prednisone and staying on it for several weeks. High protein diet for PCOS 3 months before stimming for egg quality. /hugs have faith. Rach

[krabean]

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that your beta will be positive on Sat please keep me posted because I can't wait to finally hear some good news even if it’s not for me, yet. :)

20 lbs must be the lucky number because I am creeping up on it and it is so depressing because my clothes are super tight and I can't even blame it on being pregnant. :)

I am throwing tons of sticky baby dust at you right now!

[krabean]

Rachel,

Thank you so much for sending us a positive message I am so happy that your next journey has started with beautiful twin boys! :)

I am going to ask my doctor about suppressing my immune system but what is CD1?

Thank you again for all of the great advice.

[racheldenise]

CD =cycle day. I started the prednisone when I started my estrace (we did a freeze all at ivf in may for genetic testing) so it was a july FET. If you were to do another fresh ivf I'd start the low dose steroid when you start stimming.

I feel like were bff's. I just said the same thing to my husband during one of my many mood swings and crying fits. "I would be happy to gain 20lbs if I could blame it on being pregnant but I dont want to tell everyone that I gained 20 lbs from fertility meds just trying to get pregnant" I super nervous about Saturday. I even thought about not going because I feel like I already know what the answer is going to be. Im really trying to keep hope alive but its very hard since I already has one failed cycle and im not feeling any symptoms.  Im jumping up to catch all the sticky dust. I'll keep you posted. If you dont here from me on Saturday its because I couldnr stop xrying

[Miss410]

I couldnt stop crying long enough to see the keys on my phone.

[Miss410]

Hello Rachael,

welcome to our post. Im so happy for you! Twin boys? Thats awesome. What does RE mean? I am also dx with pcos so any suggestions are welcome.

[Miss410]

Not having a good day :-(

[krabean]

I know exactly how you are feeling and at this point remember that you have done everything in this world that you could do to provide a warm and inviting home for you embryo(s) to live over the next 9 months. I know it is really hard but try and stay hopeful. I remember that people told me the same thing and I was scared to be hopeful just to get disappointed in the end so if you can’t keep hope alive I'll keep it alive for you.

On another note why did my husband tell me today that he lost 6 pounds and he has only ran 2.5 miles 4 times in the last two weeks. Wow life is just not fair sometimes. :)

[Miss410]

So here we go..... my beta was positive BUT my HCG level is too low. So they dont think its a viable pregnancy.... I dont even know what to say/think
