Hi, my name is...
- Kristi
- I am a 30-something living in NJ with my wonderful hubby...married since May 2007 and STILL trying for our first baby. After numerous IUI's, two unsuccessful IVF cycle's on our own and one failed donor cycle, we're feeling consumed by infertility. This is our story...
The shoulders I lean on...

I'm so sorry! I know there are no words that will make things easier...just know I will be thinking of you and keeping you and your husband in my prayers. Take care of each other....
{{HUGS}}
Ugh, I'm so sorry. *Big hug*
Kristi,
I am so very sorry. I am thinking of you and your DH and sending hope and healing thoughts.
You might not be able to think about what's next just yet, but for our second cycle, they added a drug to our protocol and got much better quality embryos than the first cycle.
Take care of yourself.
-M
I am so sorry :( I will say a special prayer for you tonight!
I am so sorry. I know the feeling of complete and utter sadness from all you have been through....and no baby as a result. Take the time you need to grieve- and believe that for whatever reasons, reasons we may never understand, it wasn't meant to be- this time. But....once you feel ready- you'll be able to pick yourself up and try again. Sending you hugs....my heart goes out to you because I've been there. If you go back to my November blogs....you can read some of my journals from the time our IVF failed. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. :-) HUGS!
I so sorry, all the disapointment and waiting that comes with IF is horrible.What scares me the most for my upcoming FET is getting a BFN.I am excited for the cycle to get here but terrified at the same time.Please know that I am here for you -Megan
I am so sorry! I know how badly a negative feels. Take good care of yourself... hugs!
Oh Kristi! I am so sorry...please know that you are in my prayers.
I am so sorry, no words can help but just thinking of you...
i cant think of anything to say, other than i am sorry. i cant imagine what you are dealing with right now. you and the hubby stay strong, you can get through this!
Just wanted to let you that I am thinking about you and praying for you guys. So sorry.
second blog in a row that had crap news.
my heart is aching for you.
i'm sorry.
Kristi,
I am very sorry to hear your news. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. My husband and I just went through the same devastating experience in January. It was our first IVF as well. In fact our experience was almost identical to yours. We had 5 embies and only 2 made it to transfer and those 2 were only 4 cell. Our doctor's advice to us was to stick with a low tech plan like IUI and meds. This did work for us back in August but we had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. For now we are taking a break from the RE and trying on our own. We will go back for assistance in the summer if needed. Most likely we will not try IVF again. Sorry, this is so long. Just wanted you to know you are not alone. There are so many of us out there in this journey. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Kristi,
I'm so sorry. I've wondered the same thing before. My heart is aching for you.
Hugs,
Kahla
Kristi,
I wish I had the words to take away your pain and frustration. I am so sorry, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh hon, I am so sorry. Thinking of you and DH.
I am so, so sorry to hear this news. Thinking of you over here.
