Hi all,
BFN for me today :( I'm disappointed but I did poas this morning so I was pretty much not surprised... The last couple days I felt sort of too normal where I was thinking maybe this would be the result. But I will never ever complain because I have my ds and I couldn't feel more blessed or ...

Have you ever taken the regular orthonovum because sometimes the generic of some meds can actually have a much different effect for some people than taking the regular version. Maybe you should ask your RE for a different bcp so you're not miserable- hope you are feeling better soon.

Oh Gi, I'm so sorry...don't give up...if it usually happened at day 8 and now it's only day 6 then maybe it's implantation bleeding and that's a good thing!! If you felt positive yesterday, you should keep the faith cuz this does not mean it's over- not at all. I'm thinking of and praying for you ...

My RE did the test but that sounds like a good plan to have a radiologist do and interpret the test. I would for sure take ibuprofen before hand. I thought it felt like really bad af cramps but once it was over and I could stand up, I felt fine pretty quick. Good luck!

Hi all-

Gi- Thanks for lighting a candle for everyone! I'm planning not to poas but the bad part is that I happen to know that I have one extra test hanging around from our last FET when I did cheat and got a bfn. So I think since I didn't cheat with the cycle where I had my ds and I did cheat and ...

Michele- I'm guessing you might have already checked the internet...if not, I came across this and there's an interesting graph but it might not have the exact numbers like you are looking for- good luck!

birdie- So sorry for your bfn and how you are feeling. I think absolutely stopping all these meds just like that could make you depressed. Between all the anticipation and hope that we try to have and then getting that result that we dread, it's totally normal to be upset and down. Maybe having a ...

Welcome jandc and dtao!

Jandc- I also thought about not getting on these forums but it's hard not to cuz you feel like living through it yourself is impossible...it's so nice to chat with other women who know how you feel. Usually our dhs try to be supportive but they are not the ones trying to ...
