IVF # 1 = BFN

I started spotting on Monday, so it has been no surprise to get a BFN.

I tested at home this morning, so we already knew (well, we knew anyway), and the hospital confirmed it.

We now need to wait for a follow up appointment to discuss.....
the nurse couldn't make us one today bc the appointment clerks are on holiday as it's Good Friday, so they will post us one.

We don't have any frozen embryos as the one 'spare' stopped developing.

We have another NHS funded cycle that we can use, but i am concerned that if we only have 5 eggs again, then it will be the same outcome.

I know it's only 1 failure, but I'm wondering about auto-immune problems.

I suffered from colitis years ago and had my colon removed and an internal 'pouch' formed from my small intestine to take the place of my colon. As colitis is an auto-immune problem, I wonder if, even though I no longer have a colon for it to effect, if my body still has issues. Defo worth asking about I think. I don't want to 'waste' our next funded cycle, if having tests could help.

It seems that Liverpool Womens hospital have done some trials in 2005, albeit, for recurrent m/c. But at least it means they'll have heard of it :-)

Sorry I've been away from the board, I just needed some 'space' over the 2WW.

For my March buddies, I don't have it in me to go through the messages I've missed at the moment, but I am hoping that there have been some sucess stories. Congratulations if there are.
And if anyone else has had a BFN too, then I'm sorry {{hugs}}

Wishing everyone sucess.

Love and Hugs.
