Does anyone have a contingency plan in place should you get a BFN?

SomedayMommy · 04-18-2008, 12:20 PM

I know some people don't even like to think about getting a BFN. If that is the case, GREAT! I wish I could do that, too. Me? I HAVE to have something to look forward to should it not happen.

I AM going to Vegas at the end of the IVFs if our shared risk plan doesn't work out. (You hear me, B????). And I will smoke and drink and gamble and party with my girlfriends to my heart's content. I LOVE Vegas.

Anyone else have a contingency plan?

I got bfn this morning 10dp3dt. A hpt, not official, but no line at all, nada, nyet. DH is out of town, so dd (3 1/2) and I are heading out to engage in some serious retail therapy.

The wierd thing for me is that I am sad about the BFN, but I find the wait so torturous that having a result is actually easier for me than waiting. Does anyone else feel this way?

Shel- I agree, the not knowing is so hard for me as well.

My contingency plan kind of backfired....DH planned a trip for us to Turks and Caicos May 1-4...(short b/c i'll need to have vacation days for appointments etc) We thought we'd be fully BETWEEN cycles so we thought either we go and have drinks by the pool and beach or we go and celebrate a BFP. Wouldn't ya know it....my beta is scheduled for MAY 5. ugh. We thought ER/ET would be latest 2nd week of April and it's all this week (ET tomorrow)

OH well....you know I'll be bringing the sticks w/ me!

I've never been to Vegas, but hear it's good times! BUT I hope you get BFP!!

Vegas sucks. But Stacie rocks! And honey, I hope you are so nauseous from the high HCG levels that the thought of drinking, smoking and gambling makes you as sick as Vegas does me!

((((hugs))))) and GO GIRL,

Yep. I'll meet you in Vegas and bum some smokes while I down a few Coronas

. All fun aside, I do try and have something to look forward to in case. It usually involves some chilled wine and a big pot of caffeinated coffee in the morning.

Long weekend in the Carribean + then decide between donor eggs and adoption.

I need to get a contingency plan... I'm sure it will involve some plate smashing and lots of red wine and marlboro menthol lights.

As for me, my contigency plan ALWAYS involved some of this

(OK that is just supposed to represent DRINKING, not cheersing). I think a trip would be fabulous though!
