Period before OTD with FET?

I'm 10dp5dt 🀞 I've NEVER made it this far into the 2ww without getting my period, so desperate to test but hubby doesn't want me to he just wants to wait until Friday - I know he's right because regardless of the result it's the result on OTD that matters 😏

Just looking for some reassurance and hope that I'm still in with a good chance of a BFP since I haven't had my period - has anyone else started their period before OTD with either fresh or frozen cycles when it's been unsuccessful?

I know myself there are no guarantees this has worked even though I've not had my period yet, the medication could be delaying it or stopping it from happening πŸ™ˆ I'm dying to know right now but absolutely terrified it's over πŸ’” xx

O I feel your pain. The anxiety waiting is unbearable. I got my period before test date with my unsuccessful round (approx a week after transfer) . I got my BFP 10 days past my transfer with no bleeding. Which was my OTD anyway. However some ladies do bleed and go on to get their BFP πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ Your clinic make you wait quite a while to test but perhaps there’s reason for that. Test date for me at the clinic was 10 days past a 5 day blast and 14 for my day 2 transfer. However your hubby is kind of right πŸ™ˆ and it’s the test on your OTD that matters. I guess go with your gut? All the best and good luck. Hopefully this is your time πŸ™ xxx

You know if you tested now and it was negative you'd be gutted, obviously, but still torturing yourself in case it was a bit too early and having to wait until Friday anyway for a definite answer. I'd try and wait it out, as hard as that is I think it's less torturous in the long run. Good luck hon, hope it's a positive for you xxx

I had a FET and wasn't going to test before OTD but on day 12 (test day was day 13) I had a bleed which was brief but more than spotting so I took a test and it was BFN. If you haven't bled then wait until OTD as the clinic will make you test then anyway. I ended up having to keep going with the drugs until day 16 and test one last time (so three tests in total) and it was hard to continue knowing it wasn't likely to change.

Thank you, sorry to hear it wasn't successful for you, I'm going to hold off until OTD on Friday - feel like I need to prepare myself for another BFN

Just wanted to wish you loads of luck for test day, Ive bled and had negatives but also havent bled and had negatives after my progesterone was increased. It usually keeps the bleeding away so you get to test day. There is just no way to know what is going on in there which is mega stressful! The waiting is a killer but hang on in there, you dont have long to go now!xx

Hi Sarah. Just keep up with any prescribed medication and have a rest when you can. I must say I agree with your husband re test day. Thinking of you. Diane

Fingers and toes crossed for you. xx

Just wanted to say hold on in there you are doing great. I’d say hold on to OTD if you can. But I totally understand how hard it is as the days feel like FOREVER!! Got everything crossed for you that you get your BFP lovely 🀞🀞xxx

Just want to say I'm right there with you... I feel the exact same! We had a 2dt and tomorrow is 12dp2dt. I'm just hoping and praying my period doesn't show before OTD. Keep feeling like it is on its way which is a horrible torture πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

Hang in there... My husband is the exact same and doesn't want to test early.
