Its all over....

Well its all over, I woke up yesterday (after saying to DH Monday night, I bet Ill come on in the morning) bleeding quite heavily, still went to the hospital to test though even though I knew the results.....BIG FAT NEGATIVE..... I now feel like crap. I am now having the AF from hell, and I am aching all over especially my heart. We are just gonna get through the next few days gently, walk the dog in the rain, drink lots of wine and cuddle on the sofa.....then we will decide what to do next, we have two frosties waiting for us so maybe we'll collect them in the new year (once we have saved some cash!). I grew up in care and would've loved a new family, and we've always thought adopting would be a great idea, even if we had our own children....so who knows? Roll on 2003, this has not been my year...hope next year will be better for us. Love to all the lucky girlies who are preggers, I wish I was with you, but it just wasn't meant to be. Helen xx

Helen, My heart goes out to you - but I know that nothing anyone can say or do will take the pain away. My cycle ended in failure six weeks ago, and I was devastated - far more than I expected to be. Just be gentle to yourself, allow yourself to grieve over what might have been, and don't blame yourself if you're not your normal bouncy self - you've been through a lot physically, and emotionally. In my experience, cuddles and wine is a good recipe for recovery - I also found lots of bright, fresh flowers helped cheer me up; I had them in every room in the house - expensive, but necessary when you feel like crap. If you want to talk..... Andrea <><

Hi Helen, So sorry to hear your news. It is very difficult to deal with an unsuccessful cycle and you're doing the right thing in allowing yourself time to grieve. I really hope that things turn around for you in 2003. Take care, Love Laura

Helen, I am so sorry for your news. I think that you should spoil each other rotten and cry for your loss. It is so unfair but hopefully if you decide to go-ahead again with your 2 Frosties that could be the one. Adopting may be the way to go - you never know, if you take your mind off conceiving it may just happen naturally (or does that only happen to your sister-in-laws, brothers, wifes, sisters dog!). Sending you a huge cyber hug. Michelle x

Hello Helen I know exactly how you feel, I was right there where you are in May this year. Keep you chin up though, we saved our pennies and I'm now on the dreaded 2WW for the second this at the moment - testing on Monday. It's hard to see past the next couple of awful days, but you soon adjust and start to look forward and focus on having another try. At least you've got from frosties so the cost will be much much less. I had frosties two, and it cost £850 for the FET. Don't give up and good luck for 2003 keep smiling

Sorry Helen. I had a failed attempt in June, so can appreciate how you are both feeling. Don't give up hope. Your frosties are there when you feel ready to try again. love Caroline

Her babies due on the 30th of December so we are having my neice to stay for a bit, am looking forward to that, shes 21months and the most beautiful thing ever..... We will be using our frosties in the new year, the hospital have said Feb/Mar if my af's are all back and regular, so you never know... Anyway love to all of you, especially those who are in the same boat as me, and good luck to all of you who are 2w/waiting or even better preggers.. Helen xx (glass of wine in hand!!)

Hi Helen I am so sad to hear another failed IVF - I started to bleed the night before blood test on 29th October, still finding it hard to speak about it as I still cry NOW!! I to will be starting another round of IVF come the new year we will have to wait and see what 2003 brings for us and everybody else. GOOD LUCK and keep posting. Love Debsx
