BFN
Well I've suspected it for a few days but today I got my full AF. Called the clinic this morning who told me to do a test to be sure and I wasn't at all surprised to get a BFN 
Feeling really down but trying to stay as positive as possible. We have 6 frozen 8 cell embryos to try. The clinic have said I'll get a letter with an appointment to explain the next stage but that I'll have to wait 2 clear cycles before we can try FET.
Does anyone have any experience of FET? What does it involve? What are the sucess rates compared to fresh?
Think I'm going to try and beg them to let me have 2 transferred next time. They're not keen because I'm still under 30.

I'm sure it will take some time to get over this, but I hope you manage to enkoy xmas and ny (and make the most of drinking and eating what you want for the last time in a while...). It is fab that you have 6 frosties. I pushed for 2 blastocysts and although our cons was not happy (I',m 27), it was ultimately our decision. You do what you feel is best. Take care hon xx
On a positive note, I have 2 friends at work who had failed IVF cycles and both concieved naturally withing the next couple of months.
At least you have plenty of frozen embies to try with, not sure what the success rates are but with all of those to pick from you would think that your chances would be fairly good, especially given your age. The clinic where I am at will only put one blast back in too but I would be the same as you and push for 2 on a second cycle.
What is the cause of your infertility? (If you don't mind me asking!) xxx
Syd, I have unexplained infertility which is the most frustrating thing. Although everyone says it's a good thing because it means nothing has been found I can't help think that it also means that there could be something wrong that they'll just never find and therefore can't fix.
I'd definitely go for 2. The success rate for FET is less than for a fresh transfer so statistically it ups your chances of a BFP.
Mind you I had 2 transferred and feel very relieved just the one stuck!!

Just wondering if you've had your follow up appointment yet and whether they are allowing you 2 blastocysts transferred during your frozen cycle?
I am now in the same position as you, I have unexplained infertility and have just had first unsuccesful IVF cycle following transfer of one blastocyst. Have four frozen blasts and intend to ask for transfer of 2 during the frozen cycle and was wondering what the chances are of them agreeing to this x
Donna, hope you're doing ok hon xx
We are only allowed one back in in our hospital even though we are private, if they are of a lesser grade they will put two back in. If they are of a good quality I am going to try and push for two to be put back in but I am not sure how that is going to go.
Good luck Syd and Donna... keep us updated. Claire.. hope you are doing ok too,
