It didn't work
I had a negative HPT yesterday, and got confirmation today that IVF cycle #1 is officially a bust. I'm not going to lie, it sucks. I feel like my cycle went so well, but I always knew that even with everything being perfect, our odds of success were only around 40% - probably even less the first cycle. As usual, DH and I fell on the unlucky side of the odds.
I'm handling it pretty well today, but yesterday was a rough day. I could barely get the words out of my mouth to tell DH.
There is a lot of good news to result from this. I've learned that I have some great ovaries for my age, and we have 4 frozen embryos that we can transfer in without having to go through the whole thing again. Also, the process really wasn't so bad so even if I have to go through it again I know I can easily handle it. I just have to have faith that at some point my embryos will decide to stick around.

Ditto. My heart breaks for you and your DH - and to think I get myself upset at 28 for not getting pregnant yet. It's great to hear that you're staying so positive, but don't forget that you're allowed to have your sad moments and deal with the pain. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through...I am thinking of you and praying for sticky babes the next time around!
