Uh, so it's not a mc, and it's not a pg, and it's not a bfp, so I figured just to be safe I'd put "chem" in the title...........
Christmas eve the line was almost gone, and Christmas morning it was gone. I'm ok. Well I mean, relatively so. I should have known a Christmas BFP was too good to be true. I'm hopeful the reason it didn't work out was because of all the problems I was having before I started the Clomid (bleeding for 6 weeks) and that my body just wasn't up to it this time, but will be next time. We've found a regimen that seems to work for me. I don't know how my other ovary will do this upcoming cycle, so I can't say I'm confident about it, but I feel like within the next couple cycles, I'll have my sticky BFP. I'm not as sad about this one as the last one, mainly because I'm convinced we won't be waiting another 7-13 mos for our next BFP. The Clomid/Estradiol/Ovidrel/Progesterone regimen gives me hope that our next one will be right around the corner. A September baby would have been perfect, but I'll take another October one if that's what's meant to be  So, on to next cycle. AF isn't here yet, but should be within the next few days, then "once again into the breach."
I'm okay. Seriously. I have hope now.

Oh Erin, I have hope for you as well. I just know that you are going to have your sticky BFP soon. It is amazing that you are able to stay so positive....but honestly, in my opinion, that is what will help you achieve your BFP. 
P.S
If you ever feel like it...I am still up for that coffee at Starbucks! I just started a new job, but I get off every day at 5 and don't work weekends. Let me know if you are up for it. If you don't have my number anymore, I can always msg it to you.

Im sorry it was not your sticky one this time, and pray that your BFP is right around the corner. Do you think it was your trigger just lingering a little longer? The trigger did that to me once.....gave me a negative one day and two days of light lines. Also using different test's (i used cheapies, then Frer gave me two days of light lines). Anyway, I was told since it was my first time using the trigger, it stayed around a little longer than usual. Did not make me feel any better, but it did make some sense.

I tested out the trigger on Wondfo and it went negative for a day, then I got 3 days of BFPs where they were actually getting a TINY bit darker (although not much) on the Wondfos and even on the FRERs, then it faded out and disappeared. I don't think it was the trigger, especially since it was Ovidrel, which is a lower dose than Pregnyl or the other one that gets used sometimes.

I know I've said it already but I am so sorry Erin! I KNOW within the next few cycles it will be your sticky, healthy BFP. I think your body is waiting for when we can be preggo together, so this next cycle sounds good to me!  Love you tons, and I know it sucks, but so proud of where you are at on all of this. <3

Ovidrel is what I used too, but sounds like yours was different......I only had two days of lines after the negative. Im just hoping that your next cycle of meds brings you a definite BFP that lasts all 9mos!
