Coping with BFN
VanGn:
Hi I just got a BFN and I'm still trying to process it a bit. I don't really understand what I'm feeling. I knew this could happen but I just was too confident it would. I'm 40 and I just had my first failed IVF. I still have one embie left to transfer so that's a good thing. Anyone of you ladies just had a BFN and wish to talk? I certainly need to.
MommyKenny:
Hi VanGn I'm here for you if you need to chat. I hope you are having all the support you need back home. Sometimes seeking a psychologist or a trained therapist also helps. Please keep the faith VanGn. As I recall, you still have one embie waiting for you. Love and hugs dear. ^hugme^

Hi VanGn
I have told that often the first BFN is the most painful....
I am similar to you in age and I had my first BFN in October and I still feel a little bruised by the experience even now. I actually felt ten times worse in that BFN moment and for a good while after that despite trying to prepare myself as best as I could.
I too am considering the FET cycle to come and how I will manage all mental/emotional part of the cycle. My consultant advised me to speak to the counsellor and even though I found the cycle emotionally challenging I really didn't feel that I needed to speak to a counsellor but I may do it anyway.... after all, it can't hurt... well I hope not anyway! Is that an option for you too?
If you need to chat I am also here

Hi Jupiter my love to you dear ^hugme^
VanGn:
Thank you Jupiter, I thought of getting counselling but right now, I feel I can manage. My partner and I are going through this together and our circle of family and friends are aware of our journey and are very supportive about it. As long as I get a bit of enough sleep and eat well, I think I will be okay.
Do you have other children? We have an 11 year old girl :) Her presence helps too.
When do you think you can start your FET?
