Dreading OTD

20 Replies

It's our OTD on Wednesday. Been feeling hopeful since transfer but today I have had some light spotting. Trying to think positive but in my heart it feels like the beginning of the end. After 4 previously failed cycles, this is our last go.

OH has a big operation on Wednesday (very bad timing) so I will be dropping him off at the hospital early in the morning and then going to clinic for blood test. So worried it's going to be negative and I will be on my own when I get the result. Going to be stressing that OH is ok too. Dreading Wednesday!

Oh poor you - wishing you lots of luck - you never know. Hope the op for your partner goes well too - couldn’t have been worse timing. I really feel for you. We just had our 2nd failed FET and 4th failure in total so know how real the anxiety is. Hope you get your miracle - stay strong. Everyone’s here to support you xxx

Spotting isn’t always a bad sign. Wishing you lots of luck for otd. I hope all goes well with your Hubby’s op and that when he comes around he comes around to good news xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

Thanks, me too. Was concerned the spotting was the start of AF as had normal pre AF symptoms but seems to be holding off for now xx

Hi

Well done for getting this far on an already difficult journey.

Sorry to hear of your OT having his op and that too on the day of your result. i hope he will be ok, he is in the best place.

I too was alone when i got my result. DH couldnt get the time off work. I was so nervous but like you tried to keep positive.... (even though i did POAS the night before and it came back negative...) but not long after i gave my urine sample the nurse confirmed my Pregnancy. I was sooo emotional. You need to keep the hope alive. Have your heart consoling you into saying it will be good news. I know there is alot of pressure (emotional/financial etc) try not to let the stress anxiety worry nerves get the better of you.

We will be here for you (regardless) i pray that you really get the news you have longed for. Good luck with OH operation too. You are a strong brave woman and you will fight to get your baby xx

Thank you. I think it's a self-defense mechanism where I feel like it's hard to stay positive after so many failures but I have given myself a talking to and will do my best to believe it might happen. Congratulations on your BFP!! Xx

Here's hoping it's the result you want all around. As Tugsgirl said, spotting isn't always a bad thing. Xx

That’s awful timing of the op! Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly and the recovery is swift!

I have my OTD on Wednesday too! I haven’t felt anything so not sure what to make of that so far. As others have said, spotting isn’t always bad (could be implantation!) hopefully it’s BFPs all round. Xxx

in reply to SeaChange

Thank you! Best of luck for Wednesday. The painful 2ww is nearly over for us xx

That all sounds very stressful here's hoping all is well and will give you both a boost fingers crossed it's a positive for you x

I want to wish you the best for tomorrow & truly hope it’s good news. I had what I thought was period cramping 3 days before my period was due & it was implantation! They are very similar ☹️ 🤞🏻 for you it’s implantation bleeding.

Know that we are all here for you when you need a chat xoxo

I'm hoping your spotting is a good sign and not bad. You may still get your positive.

Poor other half! And you obviously not great timing.

Hoping all goes well for both of you. Xx
