It's official, FET#3 is a BFN

Hello everyone,

I just called the clinic to ask for the beta results and it's another BFN. I was counting on it after using a gazillion FRERs and seing nothing there. The WTF phone call with my RE will be tomorrow. I hope I can still join the ladies cycling in March for IVF/ICSI #2.

I'm upset but IVF#1 was just the beginning. IF will have a hard time knocking me to the ground.

It is just very difficult when I feel I can't count on DH for support. While he knew I was getting BFNs on hpt, he thought it would be for my benefit to announce that some distant cousin had just given birth the day before. I sarcastically said "congrats! lucky them" or something, to what he replies: "oh well, if this doesn't work with the children we can start blowing our money in expensive cars." WTF?!?! I said this wasn't funny and didn't talk to him for almost two days. Now I have a tension headache... and my ILs are coming to stay with us on thursday... I just feel like hiding somewhere for the time being.

Thank you for listening.

Aw, I'm so sorry that this FET was also a bust. Sometimes guys are so stupid when it comes to IF.

TTC #1 for Dh, #2 for me. HSG clear. Low AMH and endo. Multiple Clomid w/TI cycles - all BFNs. 2 IUIs with Clomid and 1 with Femara - more BFNs. IVF#1 25R, 15M, 15F. 5DT of two perfect 4AA blasts! Positive HPT at 5dp5dt. Beta #1 6dp5dt - 72. Beta #2 8dp5dt - 285. Beta #3 10dp5dt - 793. Both babies have strong beautiful heartbeats! Baby B miscarried at 7 weeks. Baby A is holding on through miscarrying her twin, sub-chorionic hematoma, and complete placenta previa. Stick, baby, stick!

I am so sorry. IF is such a painful process and it sucks how much strain it can put on a relationship sometimes. What terrible timing for the in-laws to visit. I hope things turn around for the better soon but you definitely have every right to be upset right now and not have to force a smile for anyone. Hugs!

TTC since June 2011
DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
Me (32): all clear

TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found :(
froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.

SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!

I'm so sorry. ((HUGS)) Is your RE's lab proficient at growing to blast? We lost 11 perfect looking embies/blasts after day three. I could have had 6 failed FETs, which would have completely overwhelmed me. Maybe that's another option. GL

My RE is ok with doing 3dt as well as 5dt. It's just that I live in Germany and I'm only allowed to keep as many embies in culture as I plan to transfer. After ER I transferred 1 fresh and had to freeze all others in the 2PN stadium. Every FET cycle I could only thaw one at a time and I was always afraid they wouldn't make it to 5dt so I always had them transferred on day 3. Out of 8 embies only 3 survived the thaw. We're MFI, so I know our embies have worse chances of making it past day 3, but waiting for transfer is nerve wrecking for me and it comforts me to have them inside me.

Thank you ladies for all your support.

I am so sorry you got another bfn. Judging by your siggy, I was wondering the same thing as Gr8te about your clinic not growing the embryos to day 5 to freeze only the strongest blasts. My clinic will only freeze and transfer high quality blasts. Possibly if you had stronger ones transfered, you wouldn't have to keep going through the heartache of multiple bfn's. But, I know every clinic is different and has their reasons. Hope your next cycle is a success!

Ugh, I'm so sorry ((Hugs)) and I'm sorry you're not on the same page as your DH right now too. It sounds like your DH is probably hurting too, and unfortunately men sometimes don't know how to express those feelings and instead say the wrong thing.

I hope that you have successful IVF/ICSI cycle in March, I'll be rooting for you!

Thank you ladies for all your support. 

Has your DH done a sperm DNA frag test? If not, you should look into it. They think that's what caused our embryos/blasts to arrest. Also, it causes implantation failure too.

I'm so sorry. ((HUGS)) Is your RE's lab proficient at growing to blast? We lost 11 perfect looking embies/blasts after day three. I could have had 6 failed FETs, which would have completely overwhelmed me. Maybe that's another option. GL

My RE is ok with doing 3dt as well as 5dt. It's just that I live in Germany and I'm only allowed to keep as many embies in culture as I plan to transfer. After ER I transferred 1 fresh and had to freeze all others in the 2PN stadium. Every FET cycle I could only thaw one at a time and I was always afraid they wouldn't make it to 5dt so I always had them transferred on day 3. Out of 8 embies only 3 survived the thaw. We're MFI, so I know our embies have worse chances of making it past day 3, but waiting for transfer is nerve wrecking for me and it comforts me to have them inside me.

Thank you ladies for all your support. 

Has your DH done a sperm DNA frag test? If not, you should look into it. They think that's what caused our embryos/blasts to arrest. Also, it causes implantation failure too.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I already have a list of things I want to discuss with our RE tomorrow:

-DNA frag test

-endometritis/DH infection screening (repeat)

-low cortisol levels (I saw it while reviewing all my labs from last year)

-PIO shots for the 2ww instead of just vaginal supps

-Back up sperm sample

I hope my RE doesn't expect to get the call done in 5 min.

It looks like a good list! If we stim again, we'll do the sperm DNA frag test and PICSI if the results are bad. I look forward to hearing how your RE call goes.

So sorry about the BFN.  At one time, MH thought that making jokes at "those" times lightens mood. He knows better now. IF is hard on a relationship, but I believe if we can make it though all of this, we can make it though anything.
