7dp3dt

7dp3dt = BFN. A shiny, transparent pee stick.

I just realised that my 'days past transfer' lines up with the date of the month. Ha! That is kind of awesome.

I'm worried this is the real deal now, that we're negative. So many people have noted that they've seen their first positives, albeit super faint ones, at 10dpo. I've got nothing. I've still got no symptoms, I'm feeling normal again, which makes me think I'm waiting around for AF to arrive. (Which, I've heard, is often stalled by using Crinone) so I may have a lot of waiting (with BFN's daily) until she gets here.*

The hardest part of this is going to be letting people know. Our families have been hanging out to know the outcome. My work colleagues are wonderful, and ask me how I'm going/feeling/faring regularly. And Jase. When the time comes to officially count ourselves out, I'm going to be a mess - and he's going to be sad and disappointed too, as well as have to pick me up off the bathroom floor from the weepy puddle I'll surely become.

Anyway, we still have a few more days left to hold out hope for. I've kept everything crossed for so long that I'm starting to have dodgy circulation, so if you've got any positive wishes left, we'll take 'em! :)

*And yes, I know I'm still early to be testing. Sucker for punishment, right here.

    I've been researching this a ton. Yes, people find out on 10...but it's just about the earliest. I've seen just as many stories where the stick was negative on beta day and the beta was still positive. You are not out yet!

    Aly, I know I've been horrible at commenting both here and on Twitter, but I want you to know that I've been following your journey, and I think about you and Jase and your little embryo almost constantly over here. I'm hoping and praying for a positive outcome for you guys. xoxoxo

    Ugh, sorry it's still negative. I didn't go through IVF, but I didn't get a BFP until 12dpo (and even then it was VERY faint, i.e., Torsten couldn't even see it so I ran out and bought a digital test to confirm) and I remember feeling like everyone online was saying they got their BFPs at 10dpo or even 8dpo and I was convinced when mine was still negative at 11dpo that I hadn't gotten pregnant that month. But some people take longer to implant than others! You could easily be one of those people. My fingers are crossed for you guys and your miracle embryo.

    I'm with Jess. I didn't do IVF, but I didn't implant until day 12. Don't give up hope yet! Fingers still crossed for you.
