I'm so sorry about the negative beta. BFN sucks!!
IF is a long and lonely road. I've been on it for 1 1/2 years and it is not getting any easier. There is no easy way to pass the time while you are waiting (and there is a LOT of waiting) other than to keep yourself occupied. Frankly, I'm tired of our busy schedule, but DH is forcing me to keep up the pace. He knows it's good for us and I thank him for that.
It's funny you mentioned your nurse suggested you find online support groups. I was seeing a psychologist for a few weeks (about all the stress and depression that comes with IF) and she advised me to stay away from the net. I understand why, and DH agrees (another reason why he's keeping me so busy - to keep me off the computer!). Yet I find this is the only place I can find comfort and understanding, as well as invaluable knowledge. IF is like a lot of other tragedies in life - one can't possibly understand unless one is going through it. Here, we are all on the same train. I can vent all I want and I will be listened to, I will be heard, and I will never be invalidated with the stupid things those fertiles say when they think they are being helpful.
So, welcome. Feel free to visit anytime, we are always here for you.
And good luck on your journey!
