Hi Have just had a failed first ICSI cycle last week. Everything went really well 10 eggs were collected and two really good embryos were transferred. Consultant and everyone at the clinic were fantastic. The waiting was really hard - a real rollercoaster of emotions and not knowing. Then last Wednesday two days earlier than the date I was due to do my pregnancy test my period arrived!!! Argh - gutted. Also at the weekend a really good friend of mine told me she was pregnant again which has made it even worse. She is one of those people who seems to try and it happens almost straight away. She is telling other people and didn't want me to hear firsthand which I appreciate but it is still really tough. Right now feel pretty low and sad. Thinking about another cycle but the thought of going through the whole process again right from the start as we had no embryos to freeze feels massive. Would love to hear from anyone else who has been here and how you handled it.....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It was her first attempt to get pregnant. It was so hard b/c I was still grieving (and that is what it felt like) the fact that the two embryos they put back in me did not implant.
Not to mention the hormones that had me all messed up. It took a few weeks for me to feel better.
They were not able to freeze any of my remaining 10 embryos either. I am getting ready to do another cycle. Today is day #1 for me. That will put me having ER/ET the first week of December.
I am glad I gave myself the last few weeks to get back to "normal" but am glad I am doing another cycle almost right away. It gives me hope again.
I am sorry your cycle did not work. I can tell you that talking to the women at DS made a HUGE difference for me.
it doesn't seem fair. I'm hoping to get good news friday, but i'm not feeling very positive since it is my 4th try, but what choice do i have, but to keep going. It's never easy getting bad news, but keep your chin up and hope for the next time
