Another HPT was a BFN. Its now 15dpo. I know I said I wasn't going to buy in to them but I would think it would show something by now. I am preparing myself for bad news tomorrow.
Jennifer

Jennifer please do not give up hope the day of my beta I got a BFN on the HPT. It could just be late implantation. I will be praying that you also get your BFP. Good luck for tomorrow.

Love

Charlene

Jennifer,

Please don't give up - like Charlene said it may still be early. I will be thinking of you tomorrow morning - I really do hope that you get some good news.

Love,
Kel

Thanks. how long after implantation would you get any hcg in you? Sorry for all the questions, This is just such a crazy time.
Jennifer

OH Jennifer, I'm so sorry. But please remember, dearest, you could just have a little late one in there. It's very, very possible for them to take a bit... I just did a quick lookup on the net, and found a lady who implanted (well her baby implanted) at cd 19, possibly 20!!! So it's definitely posssible. Remember, it's not over until the Red Lady sings. :angel: You're in my prayers!

That is funny, "until the red lady sings" That is the truth! I actually just saw a lot of RED when I went to get my blood drawn. They sent in this new "kid" who I don't think had been on the job very long, if at all. I am a cry baby with needles to begin with. He found the vein, took the needle, put it in my arm, then pulled it out and says "oops, I don't think I did that right" there is this bubble of blood forming on my arm. I was so ready to throw up, Finally one of the ladies came it and drew blood with no problem and no pain.

Jennifer,

I'm so sorry you had that experience with getting blood drawn :(. I've had my share of bad experiences with that, so I can sympathize. I'm glad the other lady came in and saved you from the guy having to try again.

As for the hcg, I'm not sure exactly how long it takes to start building up, but it could very well take a while for it to get to 'detectable' levels, especially with the HPTs.

I'm really hoping that you do get a positive test!

Love,
Kel

Oh what a horrible experience!!! :( I'm not uncomfortable around needles (except that someone once described them to me as.... well I know you don't like needles, so I don't need to describe, but after that description, I can understand why you're scared of them!) but even that story gave me goosebumps!! I'm glad you were rescued by the other lady! :D

I'm so hoping for that positive test for you. I'm not the biggest expert on hcg, but after a bit of research I just did.. a lot of hpts don't detect until a week after you missed the first day of your AF. Some are more sensitive, but with these people, they got their BFP from blood...and they eventually got + hpts abotu a week later. I hope that helps you!! :D

Thank you so much for your upbeat words. I have this bright purple and red mark the size of a quater where the guy got me then the typical bruise where the lady did the draw. I felt like I deserved something after the b/w I went and got DH's sister, she is autistic and love to go out with me, so we did a late breakfast which was nice.
Jennifer

Jennifer, I'm so sorry you had such an experience w/ the blood draw. I hate getting newbies, but I guess they have to learn some way...just wish it didn't have to be on us. ;) Glad you had a nice breakfast w/ DH's sister afterwards. Praying for your bfp!!!!!!!

Holly

Hi Jennifer I am sorry you got another BFN today.I know its hard to stay positive but the ladies are right its not over until AF sings.Try and hold onto some hope.Everyone is different and it is possible for an embie to implant late.I will keep you in my prayers.Good luck my friend.

Hi Jennifer Im sorry you had such a hard time getting blood drawn, I have terrible veins and the nurses usually have to dig around for them so I dread having my blood tests done. I pray your HPT's are wrong and it has been known to happen so dont give up hope yet, AF hasnt shown up yet and thats always a good sign. Wishing you a sticky BFP.

I am on progesterone so AF won't show until I go off of that. I will let you all know tomorrow night.
Jennifer

Jenn - hang on hun... :angel: it may just be too early for the levels to be high enough... when do you hear back from the nurse re. your b/w?... :angel: praying that this is your month :angel:

Last night I fell asleep without taking the progesterone and AF was ready and waiting this morning! I always feel so hopeless on day one. I always say I must have done something terrible in my life to deserve this heartbreak. I was actually hoping she would wait a day or two after going off the progesterone because I am getting bloods and u/s this month on day 12 but that falls on a sunday and the hospital is closed for the u/s. Hopefully I can get it first thing on day 13. Thanks you for all your hope. I guess I'm back in the mix now!
Jennifer

Jennifer,

I am so sorry :(. It gets me so angry when a cycle doesn't work, it really isn't fair. I truly am praying for your BFP, which will come, to come very soon.


Lots of hugs,
Kelley

I'm so sorry, Jennifer. :( Sending you hugs. Hang in there, it will happen.

Holly

Jennifer, I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry and I know that your BFP will happen soon. It really will. Take this time to prepare your body and spoil yourself a bit too. You'll get there, dearest, you will.

Jennifer I am so sorry that AF had to show her ugly face. I am thinking of you. I hope you get your well deserved BFP soon. ;)

Love
Charlene

Jennifer, sending you big hugs. Sorry AF has arrived. - April

Hi Jennifer

I'm so sorry that AF arrived. Sending you big hugs....... I hope you feel better soon.

Ruby

If this isn't bad enough, I seem to keep getting the STUPID nurse (as opposed to the really sweet, smart one) to talk to whenever I call the RE's office. She must not have the chart in front of her because she acts like she has no clue what meds you are on etc. You keep having to repeat yourself. I was on the phone for a 1/2 hour telling my life history and I didn't need that right now. She didn't even have my beta results from yesterday and started telling me I am supposed to go there and not to the lab for beta. No one told me that before! She told me to keep taking the progesterone until she gets the results back from the beta! If I take it, will is stop AF? I'm screwed again, Again, it day 12 and 13 are Sat. and Sun when I needed to get u/s and the hospital is closed that day so I will get one on Fri and one on Mon. but that might not help me at all. If the darn insurance company would just pay for u/s in the dr.'s office, my timing might be a little better.

Hi Jennifer I am so sorry it has been so rough for you as if a BFN is not hard enough.I dont understand why some RE's and nurses cant be a little more compasionite with what we are going through.Anyway I am so sorry it has been so rough on you and also about your BFN.Take care of yourself.

Mapia

Jennifer, I'm so sorry your conversation w/ the nurse made you feel even worse. You said it...as if bfn's aren't enough, then we have to deal w/ incompetent/insensitive people. Sending you extra hugs. I really hope next month is your lucky cycle.

Holly

Jenn dear... so sorry that af showed and that you had to have so much pain just dealing with the RE's office :angel: sending you lots of hugs.... I really hope and pray that next cycle will be your month :angel: pls take care of yourself

Jenn, I'm so sorry that the nurse gave you the run around. I really don't like it when they don't even make an effort. They could easily put ou on hold for 30sec and get your file. I'm sending you hugs, and hoping that you get that BFp really really soon. :angel:

Jennifer Im so sorry AF showed and you had to deal with an ignorant nurse who seems to lack common sense and empathy. I really hope you are feeling better and wish you all the best.

Cashahn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jennifer,

I am so sorry that you have had to deal with all of these people. This is all difficult enough, without the help of people who you'd think would understand and be helpful. It really is infuriating - my RE's office should win an award for being rude and incompassionate, so I understand. I hope that you are feeling better today.

I'm just not having a good week here. I went to get CD3 blood drawn today. I had to go to the lab near work, same company though. The lady could not find a vein and took the blood from the side of my arm, almost near the funny bone. It was so painful and still is! Good thing it is still cool and I can wear long sleeves, I don't need anyone to see my terribly bruised up arms.

Jennifer I am so sorry to hear about all you are going through.OMG the blood draw sounds so painful I am so sorry.Try and keep your head up my friend thinking of you please take care and I hope your weekend is much better.

Mapia

Hi Jennifer, I too am so sorry for all of the frustration that you've endured. I mean a BFN and AF are hard enough to deal with... I wish all of our nurses were a little more sensitive (and better at finding veins when we have to give blood!)!!! Hang in there sweetie, I hope things start to go smoothly from here on out and this cycle will bring you that sticky BFP!

Oh Jenn, I"m so sorry that they just keep messing up your delicate arms!!! (It makes you sound liek a princess though! :D I don't know if you have this story over here, but it reminds me of the Princess and the Pea) With everthing you're having to deal with, the last thing you need is to jabbed and bruised like that. I'm hoping that now that you have been through all of this, you will soon have things going your way and getting that BFP!!!

Jennifer,

I am so sorry that you are going through all of this :(. A couple of months ago, my RE's office was having such a horrendous time trying to get blood from me, that I looked like I was on drugs. They used that vein on the inside of my arm too, and I had the BIGGEST, ugliest bruise. So, I can sympathise. I am so sorry. Can they use a butterfly needle, if they aren't already? I found that helped a little bit.

I really hope that this cycle is it, and that you won't have to deal with any of this any longer.

Love,
Kel
