It's a BFP! Never seen a second line ever before in the hundreds of sticks I have peed on. I honestly thought it would never be my turn. I'm 4+3 so very early days, but it's a big step.

I had 3 years ttc without IVF with 6 rounds of clomid, then:

1st NHS cycle 4 eggs, 1 blast, BFN
2nd cycle donor eggs Czech Republic, 9 eggs, 1 early blast, BFN
3rd cycle, tandem, Miracle in Cyprus. 1 egg from me, 1 blast!! 13 eggs from donor, 5 blasts. 4 in the freezer.

Thank you Dr F at Miracle in Cyprus 😁😁 Brutal! But incredibly efficient.

Never give up guys...Until you decide giving up is the right thing for you to do if course.

Thank you everyone. Can't get over the unfairness.
Don't know why I expect life to be fair.

It's not fair. It's bloody shit.

It's not fair that others have such an easy time of it and others struggle so much.

I’m so sorry. Thinking of you. Xmas Envy

Bitofeverything · 12/12/2019 08:34

Oh lord - that was the wrong emoji! I’m even more sorry Flowers

eurochick · 12/12/2019 08:43

I'm sorry. I had a similarly long ttc journey. I got a BFP from ivf cycle 1 but miscarried. I finally got a live birth from ivf cycle 4. It was a long distressing slog. I hope you get there in the end.

Thank you ladies. I'm angry today. I think that's appropriate.

My heart goes out to you @AliceAbsolum. It is so unfair and heartbreaking :-(

tinselvestsparklepants · 12/12/2019 08:57

You've every right to be angry. Life is brutally unfair and infertility has got to be up there on the list of top unfairnesses! So many people have kids with such ease. It's a feeling of loss unlike any other in life. I'm getting over it slowly but count myself lucky not to have miscarried as I can't imagine how cruel that must be after all of the hoping. You should rage as much as you need to. Thanks
