2 days from beta...

and I think it may be over. I had bleeding twice today, more than spotting, but less than AF. It's probably precurser AF. This was our first IVF and I just can't believe all we've gone through and it doesn't look like it worked. How do you girls handle this all? It's disappointing on such a deep level. I don't want to live my life TTC. It's such an intense experience and I want to be able to just let it go at a certain point, you know? Enough may be enough at this point for us.

Sending good thoughts for all still in the 2ww and hugs to you, Rachael.

oh Lauri,
im so sorry it seems like its all over for you, i do know how it feels although i have always had to wait for my test (i take progesterone) there is still a chance that it has worked i know at my clinic we have to go for our test even if we think we have had a full AF as they have had women still conceive after bleeding... i hope your test will still come up a BFP but if not we are all here for you i hope you dont choose to stop trying yet i met a very pregnant woman not long ago and got talking to her she was expecting twins she had 6 iui's and it was her second IVF she was also unexplained ... either way if you need to talk or anything i am here

lots of love tons of hope Debz

Lauri, i know how your feeling. I go for my test on Aug 2nd and have bad AF pains since thursday. No bleeding yet but this is my 3rd IVf/ICSI and I know my body. First IVF failed no symptoms what so ever. 2nd IVF I had symptoms and it was ectopic. 3rd IVF/ICSI/blastocyst no symptoms so far. So i feel its over for me too. Im feeling numb at this point. But keep your spirits up even though its hard sometimes. Your in my prayers and you never now. We could be wrong . So my fingers are crossed and praying. good luck

Lauri.. Hang in there.. I actually know lots of women that had a bleed and were still PG (are you doing sups?? sometimes they make women bleed)

I know TTC is hard beyond words and every couple has a "enough is enough" point... You may have many... and then want to try again.. it is OK to feel whatever you feel at any given time..

We have been TTC for 8 years and just had our first IVF fail... it sucks... it is hard.. but in the end (when we have a baby (weather through birth or adoption) it will all be forgotten and the joy will be sooo great...

(((HUGS))))

Oh Lauri

I am so sorry to read your news. I know that there are ladies who bleed and get a +ve. I also know that I started bleeding a couple of days before test and knew that my 1st attempt had failed.

It is so very hard after all the effort that you have put in to understand why it has not worked. I focused on all the things that I would do to give myself a better next attempt - no booze, no caffenine, better diet, acu etc etc The pain does pass a little each day but you do need to give yourself time.

I really hope that it will still turn out ok for you but we are here for you.

Love Carolyn xxx
