8dp5dt FET - Brown discharge / spotting

[silverlini]

After what has seemed to be the longest FET cycle EVER I am now not feeling very hopeful at all!

A week before I had my ET I had brown spotting which got worse and I ended up having a small bleed. I was convinced my ET would be cancelled. They did a scan and couldn't see where it had come from, so we went ahead. All has been fine until yesterday. I had very very light brown discharge, not much at all but on/off dullness ache a bit like AF.

Today the brown discharge is more and slightly darker...

I usually get this before my period is due so I am freaking out that it hasn't worked. I am too scared to take a test yet to see as I can't deal with a negative result and go to work!

Has anyone else experienced this with a FET? I never had it on my last two fresh cycles on which both I got a BFP (unfortunately both ended in a CP) I am wondering whether to take a third cyclogest? xx

Do take your medicine as long as there is any hope! Better safe than sorry ❤ I know so well what you're going through...

I will just continue with everything until my final result on Monday which is my OTD. Not holding out much hope but we will see! x

[sun-and-rain in reply to silverlini]

OTD?

Official Test Day

OK. I'm not very into the jargon of IVF/TTC-communities, I must admit, but I have some help in online lists of common abbreviations (like this one: genea.com.au/blog/july-2014... ), but I couldn't find OTD there 😂 I have my OTD on Sunday, though...

[silverlini in reply to sun-and-rain]

yeah you do get used to it though! Good luck!! I will be testing on Sunday too xx

[sun-and-rain in reply to silverlini]

Actually I wanted to test today too... It's about on this dpt I've had my positive or slightly positive tests earlier, but as I didn't have more than two tests left from the other rounds I'll be an obedient girl and wait 'till the day the doctor told me: 16dpt... And then, if negative, a new test a couple of days later - still with medication... And if negative also then, quit medicine and wait for AF to come just as we're going to our summer house to start vacations 😜😜😜

[silverlini in reply to sun-and-rain]

You just gotta do what feels right! If its positive then fantastic! if not, then unwind and look forward to your summer house vacay!x

I would probably take another one if you have enough....if it was me! It could just be old blood from your previous bleed or implanation. Fingers crossed for you!xx

[silverlini in reply to Cinderella5]

yeah that's what I am thinking to do...I have some left over from my last cycle! I will call the clinic today and check if there is any harm in taking more. Honestly, this really is a mind f'ck!!!xx

Hi, I also had dark brown spotting about 7 or 8 days after my FET. I freaked out and read everything on the topic until I couldn't take it any longer and I saw my Dr. Turns out it was implantation bleeding and it went away after 2 days. You're little guy might be burrowing his/her way into your uterus so don't lose hope. Just take progesterone to give him that extra padded layer of support. Good luck xo

[silverlini in reply to feagfrhtfbhsvfadfva]

Oh wow! I really hope this is the case for me too! Thank you for your message! I know what you mean about reading up way too much! I’ve googled pretty much everything! Nuts really as it can’t change the outcome!! Congratulations to you xx

[sun-and-rain]

Btw, what do you consider as the longest FET cycle ever? 😂

[silverlini in reply to sun-and-rain]

I literally feel like I’ve been taking injections and medication for 2 months now! Compared to my fresh cycle which is usually like 2 weeks!

[sun-and-rain in reply to sun-and-rain]

Oh, but why? I have had my first FET in stimulated cycle now, and that was a couple of weeks with oestrogen patches and then adding the progesterone supply two days before the FET... I had a much longer protocol for my fresh cycle... That was with injections and stuff... Just as if it's the other way around with you...?

[silverlini in reply to sun-and-rain]

Oh I see! I guess cycles and protocols are different for everyone! Wish my FET was as quick as yours!

[sun-and-rain in reply to silverlini]

What matters is to succeed eventually ❤ Still hoping for you! Keep us posted!

[silverlini in reply to sun-and-rain]

Thank you! Wishing you all the luck!x
