FIV (12)

Alright, alright. I think I have finally come to my term. It's actually quite hard to finally acknowledge that it is really BFN. Why did it takes me so long? Because the AF is here, after one week of waiting (stopping the oestrogen and progesterone med).
I've actually been silently hoping that the BFN is actually a false negative, after browsing through that there is such possibility (false negative is actually better than false positive). But guess, the hard truth is finally out.

So, what's next? Trying for another cycle of FET, of course! Now I roughly know what's the feeling of those that failed numerous times. But, don't give up! If my second try starts immediately, the next FET would be somewhere in Sep. *cross my finger this round*
