K's Try #1 was negative. We tested first thing yesterday morning and it came up NOT PREGNANT so fast there wasn't any question. To really let us know it just wasn't meant to be this month...AF showed up about 2 hours later.
Good news is the process starts all over again Wednesday. No time sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves. We have to set up K's account with the Cryobank now that we are out of the original donor. We did pick a new donor. One that reflects more of me. I feel really good about this donor.
I don't know if I mentioned this yet but K and I decided not to tell anyone really close to us that we are trying again. Not parents or friends. I have to say I feel a huge weight has been lifted this morning knowing I don't have to tell my best friend or my Mother that it was negative. As we all know it can take multiple tries and to have to say month after month that it didn't work is just too hard for me. Of course I hope it won't take that many tries but I don't want the added stress.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else trying this month and in your TWW!

Well, I'm sorry. That's tough. Glad you are excited about the new donor. And I hear you on not telling people IRL about trying. We're pretty closed lipped, too. It's so hard to report the negatives ....
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry K had to experience her first BFN. I know it's not easy. The news of a new donor is great and I really hope everything is well going forward.
ReplyDeleteChoosing a new donor is always exciting, if a bit bittersweet. I'm sorry that it was a negative, though. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteSo not fair! :( I'm glad that there isn't that much time before your start again. I totally hear ya on the not telling people. It must be EXTREMELY liberating!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the negative but hopeful for some good news very soon.
ReplyDeleteBig hug.
Sorry to hear about your BFN. I was supposed to have my beta this morning too, but AF showed up a little early. Best of luck to you with the second try. Maybe this new donor will be just the thing to make #2 a success!
ReplyDeleteWell that sucks! But I have a good feeling switching donors may be just what the doctor ordered! Good luck next cycle! Hopefully Holly and K will be preggo buddies!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear the news. We've also made the decision to keep the uterus-switcheroo a secret and not tell as many people about where we're at in a cycle. It's true that it's harder to cope when you have several people to disappoint... as if our own disappointment is not enough.
ReplyDeleteKeep up your spirits though - beginner's luck is not common in the TTC world so consider this just a trial run. Big hopes for next month and your new donor!
Sorry that this month was not the one, but your spirits sound fantastic. Seems like you are keeping perspective that it just takes a few tries even under the best circumstances.
ReplyDeleteOkay so onward and upward with this new cycle.
I'm sorry for the negative - it's so hard. Hopefully donor number two will do the trick next month!
ReplyDeleteyour positivity inspires me! The new donor will do the trick I just know it! I see many ++++'s in your future :O)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry this month wasn't it. Good luck with the new donor - hopefully that will be the right mix for next time!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! It's pretty unusual to work the first time but can understand the disappointment. Wishing you luck next time around!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. Hang in there ladies
