On my successful IVF in 2003, I tested 4 days early with a First Response hpt and it was +ve. I just wanted to get past/prepare myself for day 10/11, which is when I got my AF during my previous unsuccessful IVF....which was exactly 14 days after EC (or ovulation in a natural cycle, which is when I normally get AF).
So I tested yesterday, again 4 days before test date and it was -ve. I was very upset but I knew in my heart that this cycle wasn't as good as previously....
I know each pregnancy is different, and it could have been a late implanter, so testing early might be giving me a false negative...
However, my AF reared its ugly head this evening, exactly 14 days after EC, as predicted....
So I am afraid it's over for me...my embies didn't want to stay any longer.
However, congratulations to all those who have recently got positives, and my heart lies along side those who haven't.
I am sorry about the arrival of AF. Knowing that you have had a successful IVF in the past, I am sure things will work out for you in the near future!
Rest for now and take care of yourself.

Sorry about the negative and AF turning up it is heartbreaking isn't it. I know I can't say anything to help but my thoughts are with you. It makes you realise how special your DD is doesn't it?
TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!

Steph I'm so sorry to hear about your disappointment. I used to assume that those of us with no children were the ones who longed the most, until someone pointed out that you have an even clearer idea of what you're missing if you've got one already and want another.
Take good care of yourself and your DH (DP?) and give yourselves time before rushing into any decisions.
