OTD tomorrow and I’m absolutely 😬

So tomorrow is my official test day. I’ve almost made it through the 2ww!! I’ve been really positive and looked after myself. This is my 4th transfer (3rd frozen) and I’m so hoping this will be the one!

I have no symptoms not even sore boobs now although I had them last week. But think that was just the side effects of the pessaries. Now I have inner groin aches which I usually get when my period is due. Trying to stay positive but I can’t stop thinking what if I’m out again! 😫

Im tempted to test tonight but last time I did that I got positive which ended being a chemical and was gone the next day so do I hold out one more night and do it soon as I wake up!!??

Well done for surviving the 2WW! You’ve done so well holding off all this time, you are so nearly there, keep going you can do one more night. Either way I hope you get your bfp. Got everything crossed for you lovely 🤞🤞xx

Thank you, you’d think 4th time round it would be easier and it was in the first week but now total fear has set in!! When do you test? Xxx

Oh yeah no matter how well I do in the first week the crazies always start to kick in week 2 🤣. My official OTD from the clinic is 21st (16dp2dt) not sure if that’s normal or longer than most. Going to try and hold out if I can. I’ve always bled before my OTD on previous cycles but on extra progesterone injections this time 🤞. Will be looking forward to you sharing your good news tomorrow xxx

Yeah think it’s impossible not to get the crazies lol! I’m sure all the hormones don’t help the situation lol! Good luck to you hun xxx

If you're not bleeding yet, I think there's hope! I started to bleed before OTD even with progesteron support - even in a stimulated cycle with no ovulation!!! (Well, I have some idea of there being something wrong with the last box of Crinone I started on a couple of days before, but that's another story...) What I wanted to say is anyway that it's really, really positive if you're snill not having the period! And the hormones activated by a newly established pregnancy are twisting your body and mind almost as the hormones do just before the period, so that's just no indicator for how things are going. I myself was 100% sure I would fail this 6th time too 4 days before OTD. Sensible, premenstrual cramps (that was how I interpreted them) etc. But period never came! The day before OTD I decided to test (no bleeding up to now, and my standard progesterone weakness, and was goimgnto visit my parents, so I wanted to have something to tell them): BFP!!! Now I'm 9 weeks for the first time in my life 😍😍😍

And btw, my boobs didn't react to anything until 5w or so... So don't worry about _that_ 😘

Hi everyone. My OTD is tomorrow too. I'm probably gonna to a blood test on Thursday though because it's my fils 70th birthday tomorrow. Don't wanna be there with a sour face on if it's negative. I ve had two DE transferred and I have had no symptoms. I calculated that today is day 30 of taking hormones. I'm on progynova and lubion injections and we'll as Lentogest top ups. I'm feeling sick of everything and just feel sad and hungry all the time. This is my 5th transfer overall and 2nd DE transfer and, tbh, I'm just so sick of it.

Aw I really hope you get a Bfp! Really hoping your 5th is your on, so much to go through it so many times- I feel you!! Day 30 of taking hormones too it’s a lot to take on board! Good luck xxx🍀🍀🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hello lovely,

It’s so difficult and I understand your anxiety! My OTD is Wednesday but I have felt so emotional and moody yesterday and today and don’t know if I can face the wondering another day, so am contemplating taking a test tomorrow morning!

Try to stay positive and remind yourself you’ve not got long to wait now. They say your first pee is the most reliable so technically you could be testing in 12 hours time and hopefully seeing your BFP 🙏🏽!! Wishing you all the luck in the world and hoping tomorrow is a very happy start to your journey to having your precious baby 💕 xx

Thank you I need it! 12 hours that’s a good way to look at it! I can do that!! I was so moody end of last week too but think that was just the naughty kids at school lol! Good luck for you too on Wednesday! Hope you get a Bfp xxx

Congratulations on your pregnancy that’s amazing! I’ve had a couple of failed transfers and my period never comes before otd. It always comes a few days after stopping the pessaries that’s why I never know until the test day! Hope I have the same luck and my feeling is wrong! Xxx

Im sorry for your BFN☹️ If i were you I would ask for an Endometrio test. I have done it and found out I have a lactobacillus deficiency and was prescribed probiotics. The test is made uo of 3 tests named ERA, ALICE & EMMA. I did it because i only have one pgs normal embryo. Xxxxxxxxxx

Sorry about your BFN 😭😭😭 Take your time to grieve and be angry with the world, but don't loose hope ❤❤❤ There will come another day, another opportunity, and suddenly you get what you hoped and longed for for so long ❤ If we didn't have that hope, we wouldn't go through this over and over again, would we?

Ladies really thank you so much to each and everyone of you who had replied. I really appreciate it and I’m already feeling more positive about things. Lots to look into and appointments in the pipe line to discuss where we are at now & moving forward. I still have hope but for now it’s time for pizza and cuddles with my pooches and hubby xxxx😘

Thank you @ Core. Will you be going for a 5th transfer? Did you have any kind of follow up after your last FET? Xxx

Core profile image
Core in reply toSkippy1982

I’ve just started the meds for my 5th FET 🙈 feeling quite nervous at the moment. The clinic have still said we’ve got a good chance as it’s all a numbers game so we’ll have to see. Have you thought about your next steps yet?xx

Skippy1982 profile image
Skippy1982 in reply toCore

That’s great! Good luck!! Everything crossed for this time!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀☘️ How many embryos have you got left? We’ve booked an appointment with a private clinic next week for a consultation. Just wanna get a second opinion really. We’d go again with the hospital but I know they most likely won’t be able to get us in before the end of the year now and it’s time that worries my hubby and me. Just wondering if we should do another fresh now before we get older in case the 3 Frosties we have don’t work xxx

Core profile image
Core in reply toSkippy1982

Thank you, I have 8 left so 7 after this one. Oh that’s really interesting getting a 2nd opinion, it’s something I’ve thought about doing, could you let me know what they say please? Will you be telling your nhs hospital about going there? Yes I’ve also wondered when to think about another fresh round xx

Skippy1982 profile image
Skippy1982 in reply toCore

7 left that’s amazing!! 🙌🏻 yes of course I’ll let you know. Yeah I spoke to the consultant and she said I could go private and do a fresh now if I’m worried about age. But she said don’t do a fresh batch now just because you feel like what you’ve currently got is bad. She said I had to stay positive despite it being hard as the fact that my first fresh got me pregnant, even though I miscarried she said it’s a really good sign. That was before I did this last FET. She said there no guarantee one of my remaining will get me pregnant but that I had a good chance. But after a miscarriage, a chemical and two failed FET from the same batch it just feels hard to imagine! I don’t want go through my remaining an not work and then have to do another fresh anyway and be older. I feel like better to cycle now and keep the three as more chances? Who knows, let’s see what private say. Xxx

Core profile image
Core in reply toSkippy1982

I know what you mean, none of mine have resulted in a pregnancy so I do worry that something is wrong, but the consultant said the fact this many made day 5 and are good enough to freeze is great. With this next one i think they are going to add in steroids or heparin so we will see if that helps xx

Try and wait not long to go! I wish i had waited now, it is hard though, fingers crossed its a positive 🤞 xx
