Dear Lovely Jen

I am so gutted for you & your dh.

It is just too unfair and cruel that you have to go through this. You have been so brave and strong.

I just wish that there was something that we could do to take away all the pain and hurt.

Looks after yourself. We will be here for you when you are ready.

Much love and huge hugs
Carolyn

Hi, I am new to this thread. First off, Jen I don't know you yet, but i want to tell you that I'm sorry about BFN. We know how painful this whole business is and I wish there was something that I could say. My thoughts are with you and wishing the best for you.

I recognize Jenbabes from the over 40 thread, Hi, it's chriss.

Everyone, I just got my BFN. I am very sad, crying a lot. Saw my data sheet from clinic and read that my eggs are very dark and grainy. I know this can't be good. I want to pursue motherhood and I want to look into DE. I have a consult on Monday to go over my failed cycle. I am going to be very upfront with DR. and ask, is it time for DE? I don't know what to do. I need advice from you girls. I live in U.S., don't know a thing about DE. Wishing the best for all of you. Appreciate all of your feedback. Thanks. -chriss

Still in my pj's and friends have invited us round but i cant even move never mind socialise.

I feel numb and cant stop crying. I wasnt like that last time but i cant see anyway forward for us. We have 2 embies but if the best ones didnt work then neither will the last 2. It doesnt look good for us now and i feel we are at the end of the road. So much for IM having great success rates. I am being continually told, once i get good eggs then my luck will cange. Well now we have young eggs of the best quality and it still hasnt worked. If we had the money i would try every month until it worked. Its so hard seeing dh, he plods along like everything is ok as he expects the neg result now but i know he is hurting. He keeps telling me he wants me but i know he longs for a baby and i'm stopping him having that and i feel awful. I just think its a waste of time now and just want to leave this shit world, never felt like this before but i cant live with this pain all my life. Dont want to watch others in the street or people i know getting pregnant, watching bumps, having babies, feeling sorry for me and longing for a baby---there will be constant pain in my heart and i'm stopping dh moving on.

I'm so mad with IM to. I wanted a hysteroscopy but they said i didnt need one, now they say they want to do one before next ET. They should have done it last time with the doppler, like i said then they wouldnt have wasted my 2 embies.

Our only chance now is adoption but i work with the social work dept and know there are no babies and the average age is 5 years but we want a smaller child plus it takes a long time get the children. Does anyone know how to adopt in America as they have more babies and agencies over there?

Sorry to rant on but i have never felt so low through all my times of ivf and i cant see this ever working for us--------ever.

Thank you all for your support.

Love Jen x

Dear Jen

I don't know what to say to you. Don't socialise. It is way too hard for you right now. Stay in your PJs and worry about yourself.

Image

I am afraid that I don't know about adoption in the US. I have friends who are in the UK and adopted through China. It took quite a while but they ended up with a darling little girl, earlier this year. She came to them at around 8 months and is a doll.

I realise the money is an issue but do you think that it is worth looking at another clinic. May be ISIDA who helped BigJ. I know that it is a lot less expensive there, but they still have a good success rate.

Or may be Gill can tell you about embryo adoption. That way may be you could get a different donor and also someone who was proven. May be the issue is the youngsters eggs and you just don't go together.

I am sorry that I am waffling but just want to put something out there that could help you.

You know where I am. Just wish that there was more that I could do for you.

Much love
Carolyn

Hi Chriss - sorry to read of your BFN. Welcome. My eggs are dark, fragmented and murky. They told us we could keep trying with my own eggs but % chances were very low. Hope that your appointment on Monday goes well and gives you some clarity. Sure you'll get more feedback from the others, it is just that we are all really struggling because of what Jen has been through on her 6th attempt

Hi Everyone

Have been rushing around as usual, just seem to be so busy at the mo, but at least this keeps my mind occupied.

Jen1d I am so sorry that you are feeling so low, I don't know what to say. The hysteroscopy / doppler what does this do :?:

There is still a chance with the other 2 embies, I soo hope this works for you, I know how hard it is, I really struggled when that awful BFN happened to me. My dh also acts as though everything is ok but deep down I know his not. Also he finds it hard to talk about it. Not sure whether this is a man thing :(

Thinking of you at this terrible time and sending you loads of HUGS

Gill12 & Carolyn Thanks for your advice on the blood group, have now managed to sort it out after serveral phone calls. Sent all paper work off now to IM. Horaaaaaaaay!!!!!! Carolyn Sorry to hear about your dh, I am sure you could do without the hassle. Does this mean you will have to stay out there for a week. Hope IM come back to you asap. Gill Hows your decision making going?. Sorry if I am being stupid but what does barmitzuah mean :?:

Rhalloo Good news on your scan and losing 2llbs thats great I normally put loads of weight on when i'm on the meds.

Jen Babes Glade your appointment went ok and the other appointment is still there. GOOD LUCK

Sonia Good Luck hope AF does not muck you around

Kelly Best Of luck for your ET on Sunday will be thinking of you.

Hi Chriss Wellcome, I am new to this site, but you are in the right place everyone is so helpful.

Carolyn thanks for your help with the ticker, I do suprise myself sometimes. What do you think?

Anyway feeling alot better now, just hoping once IM have rec'd my paperwork I can then book flights. They just need to confirm.

Hi to everyone else

CHRISS
sorry to hear about your BFN hun...it's a tough choice when all that is left is to go from using your own egg to DE...I hope we can help as much as possible. Our protocol in europe is totally differant to USA...although there is a US girl on this thread rebeccaj who is from US...you could PM her with your tmt questions or ask away on here and we will try and help. As i said on the over 40's thread the book "having your baby thrugh egg donation" is written from an American perspective and is very helpful. Carolynb has read it and recommended it to me and i found it very helpful. so try that too. Will add you to the list and you can also see who everyone is too x x tell me what you would like me to add after your name when you've read it. Anyway hun, i know how tough it is having a BFN it takes time to heal but having a next goal can help you work with the grief so good luck and many hugs x x

We stayed at Athena 1st time and it was fine for 1 night....but cos we will be for Et i want a sunnier room with big windows and am looking at other hotels x x But you never know may bgo back there as the resturant was fab x x

Hi Chris,

Feel free to ask away. I'm actually from the UK but have been living in the US for 2.5 years and went through all my treatment (4 IUI's; 2 IVF's plus DE IVF) over here. I am 34 and produced lots of eggs but had the same issue of all of them being dark and grainy. we were given a 5% chance of it working with my eggs so tried IUI's while we finilised the DE program - that way I felt like we weren't giving up. I am extremely lucky to have a fabulous sister who flew over to the US and donated her eggs to me and am equally lucky that it worked first time and I am now 11 weeks pregnant with twins.

Although we didn't use one, there are 1000's of agencies in the US which offer Donor services (just do a google search); they show photo's and statistics of the girls and also locations. The agencies arte expensive (around $5,000) and then you will have to pay for the donors expenses and medications. All in all it will be around $15 - $20k BUT also depends on how much you're covered on insurance for your bit. It's also quick in the US as the donors get paid (unlike Europe) it's just a case of finding a match and getting the cycles sync'd. Let me know if you have any questions - I would be happy to help.


Jen1d, like the others we are stumped to find the right words honey but we are all here for you and understand a little of how you feel. Please don't give up hope. you WILL become a mummy somehow and someday and it won't be long. I've read lots of posts where FET with the worst eggs worked and you could pursue this option while also looking at other options, just so you know. Just don't give up honey. AND one last thing - your DH married you for you - you have to remember that this isn't your fault, it's just one of those things. We IVF'ers have the strongest teams with our DH's because it's the hardest thing to go through - stay strong.

LOve to everyone

Jen1d, I'm soo sorry to hear your news. I know there is nothing I can say to make it better, but I'll be thinking of you and your husband.

Chriss, I've actually been through the DE process in the US (I live in MA) so I can tell you the agencies I've worked with. Just send me a PM and we'll connect.

Kellym, congrats on your transfer! Hope those cute little embies are snuggling in nicely.

To everyone else, hope you're all doing well! We had beautiful weather this weekend, fall in New England is absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend it to anyone who has the urge to travel. I figure I have a good week and a half left to drink alcohol and caffeine so of course I enjoyed myself this weekend. While I'm thinking about it, I think I'm going to have a quick glass of wine right now before bed. Sweet dreams, all!

Hi

Well that firm email to IM must have worked as Dr Guix just rang. She said its our decision about having a hysteroscopy or ET but they would advise to check everything out first. She said our embies are good and wouldnt have been frozen if they werent good grade or developing well so i must keep positive hahaha. Got upset on the phone and she was trying to encourage us to get checked first then go for ET. She said there is nothing that they can see stopping me getting pregnant, i have just been unlucky----------bloody understatement.

Feel so sad and unhappy, cant get motivated to move on this time.

Thanks for all your kindness and hugs
