Indecisivejo, it's Monday 7.3.16 here, so assuming your blastocyst was 5 days old on the day of your transfer, and assuming you have a textbook 28 day cycle where you ovulated at day 14, that would make today day 29 of your cycle and the first day of your missed period!!!! But I know the clinics always seem to say to test a few days later just to make sure the result is absolutely correct. When is your official test date?
waiting, I am so sorry. Having had 11 IVF attempts, I know that as Indecisivce says, there really are no words that I can say that can make it feel any less horrid than it does. I too remember feeling that each birthday and each christmas was another year that passed without success. I turned 38 during my 11th IVF cycle so I too desperately felt that time was running out. But it does sound like you are exactly like me in that (after my initial food and alcohol binge!), I would look up practical things that could have gone wrong that cycle and would see what practical things I could change for the next cycle.
This is just my personal feeling and of course you have to do what is best for you, but I wonder if pumping your body with Aspirin, Clexane and Cyclogest and putting your bodies delicate balance of hormones out of whack and doing more harm than good. I was a poor responder and started self medicating with Aspirin, thinking that thinner blood equals more blood to my ovaries and hopefully a better response. After a few months, my usually regular cycles started going haywire. Then when I took it during an IVF cycle, despite having 16 follicles at day 2, only 3 of them grew which the Dr thought was very unusual and couldn't explain, until I confessed I was taking Aspirin! So it doesn't just thin the blood - in my case it definitely interferes with my hormones. I am not personally familiar with Clexane and Cyclogest but you may remember blue on here who got a BFP on her first cycle than sadly ended in m/c. She then started those meds too and did another 4 IVF cycles but despite having two embryos that had made it all the way to blast transferred each time, she did not get a BFP again. So it really made me worry that the meds were the cause. I went for a walk with a fellow patient from my IVF clinic who had the same experience - m/c at 10 weeks after first IVF which biopsy showed due to downs syndrome, added meds and did several more transfers that were all BFN. I have not done research on these meds and maybe for my three stories, you have another 3 that might show the opposite result, but I just really worry and wouldn't want this to be the cause of another BFN as I know how heartreaking it is. So perhaps it's no harm to at least ask the clinic or research if it can do any harm?
I guess in your case, it's hard to know if it was an implantation issue or if the embryo didn't even make it to become a blastocyst in the first place as I think in the IVF lab, only about 20% of embryos survive that far. The one thing I personally drew great hope from was the studies online that showed eating a high protein (greater than 25% of daily intake) increased the number of embryos that survived to blast to 50% and increased the IVF pregnancy success rate to 60%. When carbs were also reduced to less than 40% of daily intake, the pregnancy rate went up to 80%. Unlike the meds which are controversial, there is no harm in eating healthy and I was very obsessive, weighing my food and entering it all into a website to make sure my percentages were within range. But it felt like it gave me something practical and pro-active to do while I waited for another IVF cycle, since the diet needed to be done for two months prior to an IVF cycle. My last IVF cycle produced only 2 embryos, but both were top quality at day 3 and one took. So the percentages proved true that 50% of my embryos survived to blast (one out of my two embryos) and that I did have preg success.
Thinking of you xox.
