Day 10 ...

[isitonlyadream]

Hi ladies

Hope you are all ok.

So I've made it to day ten without posting lol!

Our test day isnt until Monday when I've to go for blood test.

On our fresh cycle test day was 10dp5dt this time it is 13dp5dt and fet. Is it because it was a fet that the test day is later?

I crumbled last time and tested at day 8 as I'd also started bleeding. Still on constant knicker watch but touch wood, so far I've not seen anything. Is it the 3 x elleste estrogen and 2 x Pessaries that are keeping af away? Although last time I was only on one pessary / day so maybe that's why I bled early?

It's so hard not testing again, I've had the odd cramp (nothing major) and (.) (.) are a bit sore but again nothing major and just going a bit stir crazy! After bleeding last time I'm dreading seeing anything but then I read about implantation bleeding and now worried thinking I should have had this?

Went to sainsburys yesterday and bought a pack of 2 clear blue tests... they are sitting taunting me!

Could I test on Sunday do you think when oh is home so at least I'm not on my own on Monday waiting for the call?

What do you all think? Is 12 days long enough after fet to get a reliable result?

I got a positive blood test and home test on day 9 after a 5 day FET. Good luck. x

Hi Mantaray

Thank you. I am so so tempted to test on Sunday.

So sorry to read your news, I hope you are both holding up ok xx

[Mantaray75 in reply to isitonlyadream]

Thanks. Still completely devastated. Dealing with the physical trauma of the last week as much as the emotional side. My body feels completely battered. x

[isitonlyadream in reply to Mantaray75]

I cannot begin to imagine what you've been through the last few weeks. In time your body will heal, you just concentrate on you and your other half, take time to emotionally heal as best you can and just take it one day at a time. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me x

Hi Holly. Good luck! I have read a lot of people on here test 1 day early and it's fine. I personally would want my dh to be there as well rather than being on my own so I think if I was in your position I might be tempted to test a little bit early. Obviously though you need to do what's right for you. I really hope you get a positive result. xx

Hi City

Thank you 😄

as he will be home all day Sunday I like the idea of testing when we are together but then part of me says no, wait until OTD, go for my bloods and wait it out.

It's so hard as I'm terrified it'll be negative but have to keep hoping it'll be a positive ... My heads a mess lol !!

Thank you for your well wishes xx

[Sprinkles86]

I would definitely think you could get a positive on Sunday, but don't think it's all over if you don't! Completely understand about wanting your OH there for support, do what is right for you xxx

[isitonlyadream]

Hi sprinkles

I think you've just hit the nail on the head.... If it's a negative on Sunday then I'd just go to pieces again but if it was a positive (🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻) well we would be absolutely over the moon. I'm not sure I can take the chance again if that makes sense!

Hi holly , I think all clinics give different advice . I was told to test 14 days after et . But I tested at 9 ddpet.

I would def test Sunday keeping it all crossed for you xxx

[isitonlyadream in reply to Aimaim77]

Hi aimaim

Thank you, I know it's confusing as on our fresh cycle test day was 10days but with this fet it's 13! I'm leaning towards testing Sunday I think ...

Hope you are getting on ok

[LHow81]

If you're both home and think it'll be better and easier then test on the Sunday I doubt one day could make much difference. Fingers crossed for you! Xx

[isitonlyadream in reply to LHow81]

Thank you. We've just discussed it over tea and think we've decided to (maybe!) test on Sunday!! x

[Daisy-Mae]

I agree with the other ladies, test on Sunday when you are together. I think one day early is ok. Thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP xxx

[isitonlyadream in reply to Daisy-Mae]

Hi Daisy Mae

Thank you. I think we will test on Sunday and just try to stay as positive as we can until then. Thank you for your well wishes xx

[Rockflower]

With my First FET we did bloods at 9dp5dt (and I did a hpt and got a positive result), 2nd FET we had bloods at 12dp5dt, but I did a hpt at 9dp5dt, which was again positive. My hpt results and bloods where not that strong and unfortunately both ended in chemical pregnancies. But I could see that second line on the tests.

I would say you will probably get an accurate hpt on Sunday, if you decided to test. Good luck Hun xxx

[isitonlyadream]

Hi flowerpotts

Thank you for getting back to me. That's really encouraging that you got results at 9 days just sorry that they were both chemical.

I think we are leaning towards testing on Sunday now x

Thank you for sharing again xx

[Cinderella5]

Oh my goodness, you're so strong holding out till test day! I've no idea how I'd manage! I've got everything crossed for you, been following your story for a while! Wishing lots of luck, baby dust & everything else....!!!😘xx

[isitonlyadream]

Hi Cinderella

Thank you. I was ok last week but as its getting closer it's getting harder!

Thank you so much for your well wishes it means so much.

I'll let you know 😄

I got a positive test 8dp5dt with fet. Sounds very positive for you with cramps and no bleeding. The cramps are scary but without bleeding I would take them as a positive sign. I tested early thinking if there was a glimmer of positive on the test that would push me on to otd but if there was nothing it would manage my expectations and get me ready for negative. Also, I've been pregnant 5 times and only had implantation bleeding once, some people get it, most people don't. Good luck!!

Morning DC5867

Thank you for getting back to me

I tested this morning at 11 days and it was a positive I started counting in my head and by the time I had got to 45 it was showing as positive

I thought that if I tested this morning and if it was a negative that I would be able to convince myself I was too early and I was expecting to have to do that, seeing a positive has just blown us away - we are delighted.

Official blood test is on Monday at 08:40am so will be counting down the minutes until then! lol

Thank you again for your reply, have a lovely weekend

[DC5867 in reply to isitonlyadream]

How wonderful! Congratulations to you both! I thought from what you had said in your post that it sounded like you were heading for bfp. It's a roller coaster ride from here too (I'm 19 weeks from fet) but I just took it all a day at a time, it's the only way to stay sane! Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy xxx

[isitonlyadream]

Ohh wow, congratulations to you too xx

Thank you, that is really sensible advice, a day at a time it is

Thank you for your well wishes and I will try to stay as sane as possible !
