Today is our OTD and I couldn't bring myself to do a pregnancy test. I am so sick of seeing negatives that I dont want to see another one. I've not done one for months because weve had no reason to do one. Our fresh cycle we never had a transfer. Our first FET we never got to transfer and finally we got a FET transfer and I cant do it.
I said to my husband I would rather just wait and see if I come on or dont and maybe do one in a few months if this embryo has decided to stick around. Then the clinic rung me and gave me a bit of a telling off and I now need to do one tomorrow morning.
And now I'm cramping like I've not cramped before, feels like period pain, so much less enthusiastic about testing tomorrow now.
It was a 5 day hatching blastocyst they transferred about 10/11 days ago. Anyone else feel like this?

Hey know it really hard but know that cramping can also be a good sign. I felt like I was starting as had period like cramps but got a BFP. Early pregnancy signs and period can be so similar and the same at times so yeah this could be good. Hope it is for u. Hard as it is can be good to test just so u know and then can plan and go from there. We all here no matter what the outcome. 🤞🤞 it a good sign x
Oh hun I know where u coming from soo sorry u r feeling like this . But I would say u should test Hun u never know it probably has worked this time 🤗 and cramping is quite common in early pregnancy I had lot of cramps like periody .. and u need to make sure if it is positive u need to carry on ur meds as well. I pray that u get ur BFP tomorrow hun all the best🌈
I'm sorry you feel this way, it must be very hard. I always wanted to know, to get it out of the way, either way!
As hard as it is, you are best to test. I'm guessing you are on progesterone and if it's negative and you carry on taking it you may not start your period and you'll be delaying your body getting back to normal and prolonging any side effects. I hope you find the strength tomorrow x
CAS2, thank you. I think the worst is that if it is negative the clinic then wont be able to fit us in for another transfer until January so it's even more waiting :(x
I totally understand how you feel. This time round I kept putting off phone calls - the fertilisation day call, the day 3 call...the memories of my failed cycle were at the forefront of my mind and I found it difficult to be positive.
There was no escape from OTD as I had to go for HCG blood test (though I did put off calling for results).
On a positive note, I got a BFP, and after two days of feeling just like my period was coming.
Thank you, I think I would rather they just called me in and said we're going to do your bloods rather than me actually weeing on a stick. Fingers crossed it's a positive outcome, thank you x
I do understand this... if it’s any consolation, at 12dp5dt I was totally convinced my period was about to start, but it came to nothing and now I am 5+6
Good Morning my lovely. I just want to say good luck for this morning. You are already so strong! Look how far you've already come and all that you have had to deal with up until now. Whatever today brings, remember that it means that you are one step closer to that positive outcome xxx
It’s my OTD too and I haven’t done it either! Your post is me 100% word for word. I haven’t had a call from the clinic yet, but I’m sure they will soon 😓
I can’t offer any advice but from someone who is starting the day with a cup of decaf coffee and an injection I sincerely hope that things go well for you. Xxxxx
I had cramping, felt exactly like period pain and got a BFP so hang in there. I avoided testing for a long time pre-ivf and def found one of the hardest things about ivf the 2ww because it made me conscious of a period of time that i would normally try to ignore on my normal non-ivf cycles. It’s so hard, wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow and praying to hear good news from you xx
