8dpt, hpt negative, do i have any hope remaining

[maybthistime]

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum. I have a long history of unsuccessful ivf’s, total of 6 to be exact. So you can understand my situation and how much I want to have a baby. We have explored other options but thot of doing one more cycle before perusing them. I have wanted to experience the feeling of carrying a baby for so long. For this we did our 7th round of ivf (our last); today is day 8 pt. I had only 1, 7 cell grade 2 embryo transferred on day 3. I had painful cramping 2 days after transfer, slight spotting one day and since then mild on and off cramping. Also had back ache all along. Starting yesterday, I have all signs of my period. I am on pio shots, so I guess it will hold off my period. This waiting and period symptoms was driving me crazy, so took a hpt; it was NEGATIVE. I am devastated. My bw is on 06/18. Not sure if I have any chance left. Any light on similar experiences wud be greatly appreciated.

What test did you use?

I'm sorry to hear the news :(...Well I have relatives in India (mumbai) who have gone through 3 failed ivf's with two or three different doctors. She has consulted 3 different doctors and they all tell her something different, that she is the issue, that the husband is the issue, that they both are, that they are ok,..etc... I know India has great Physicians but I'm affraid they are more concerned about the "money" and don't really care that much about the patients outcome. I think you should find someone here. The technology we have available here is pretty advanced and you can find great embryologists here. Where are you located at???...Perhaps you should consult my RE..he is great and has a really high success rate, even with very complicated cases.. His name is Peyman Saadat. Located in Beverly Hills CA..his prices are very reasonable too. http://www.reproductivefertility.com/meet.html

I am trying to get by;back at work to keep my mind occupied. I have heard of embryo adoption. I would definitely look into it. I am originally from India but setteled here in US. We were also thinking of giving this a shot in India as there would be plenty of Indian donors and embryos available. This is the direction i am currently leaning towards. It is going to be a time consuming and lengthy process ( i am guessing atleast 4 months).
Mhv - can u please send me the info on the donor egg/embryos programs that you are aware of?
Thank you in advance.

I am so sorry for your negative.  I know how heartbreaking it is.  
donor eggs are a wonderful option!  Much shorter wait time, and many programs out there offering 100% refund programs.  I am kinda educated in that area, if you would like any information : )
There are also programs for donor embryos too...


Sending you tons of hugs!!  You WILL be a mom!  I have faith!

I hope you are feeling better! I've gone the viscious cycle too. I am 43 and just did my first round of Follistim with TIC. I'm in the two week wait. My biggest challenge is my age, so when (if) we advance to IVF, it might be with a donor egg. I was also checking out embryo adoptions as well.

Even if you use a donor egg, don't feel bad as it will still be your baby!

[maybthistime]

Thank u all for your well wishes. Got the results, it was NEGATIVE. We are frustrated and devastated. Hardest part is having to accept the fact that i might never know what it feels like carrying a baby.
Planning our next step now. Only options adoption or donor egg.
Wish you guys all the best; baby dust to everyone.

I am praying for you..... GOOD LUCK.

I hate that we have to wait like that!  I wish we had a window into our tummies and could see what is going on in there!   Hang in there, just a few short hours away!!!!

[maybthistime]

Thank u for ur kind words!! i am still being hopeful; unfortunately i dont have the symptoms anymore. Hoping my earlier symptoms were implantation related and i no longer have them cuz the embie is tucked away into the uterine wall. I am anxious and nervous about tomorrow.
Trying to be strong; i will give an update on the outcome.

[mhv]

Sending you tons of baby dust!!  I hope your test tomorrow shows a BFP!!  So many ladies on here have pregnancy like symptoms, only to get their BFP!  Don't give up hope!
You have definatly had your share of bed news with your other transfers, I pray this is the one that sticks!!!!

Hopefulmiranda- congratulations! On ur twins!! That is amazing.
Need2bamum - I wish u all the best in the world; I believe a baby is in the cards for both of us. Keep us posted tomorrow.

I  truly hope my symptoms were pregnancy related. After the devastating neg hpt result 8dpt, I dint dare to do one yesterday and today. I cried so much, i couldnt anymore. Kept trying to convince myself that i did the test too early. My beta is on Saturday 06/18. I shud find out the result same day. While trying to get thru the next couple of days, I have a feeling like I am getting my period this minute. I keep going to the bathroom fearing I might have to see it. I will keep u guys updated on what happens Saturday.

I know exactly how u feel !! Today I am 9dp5dt and did yet another hpt this morning and it was negative !! My clinic have told me not to test til tomorrow 10p5dt but I thought if its worked and going to be a + hpt tomorrow I should have a faint + today. Not to be !!!! Feel devastated as I have cramps a little sickness and tender on my chest. Good luck hun and lots of ssbs x

[hopefulmiranda]

well the spotting and cramping sound like pregnancy symptoms, I had the same thing happen to me after my ivf treatment. I began to have pain after the transfer but my spotting didn't come until later. I had lower back pain and slight cramping all trough out my pregnancy. I did however get a hpt come positive on day 7 after transfer..but I was pregos with twins. when iis your blood test??..I had mine on day 10 pt. ..tons of baby dust heading or way...keep us posted..hope God blesses you with a healthy baby.

[maybthistime]

[Hopeful4aBlessing]

Hi.... big hug to you!!! And just a lil' ray of hope.... I did a hpt on 10pt & again 12pt and both were negative but the beta results were POSITIVE! So, NEVER LOSE HOPE!! Have faith, this isn't over!! Hang in there....
