Feeling low waiting for OTD Saturday

[HopefulJA]

Have all my normal PMT type symptoms and this has made me feel so down.

It’s my official test day Saturday too.

What are your normal PMT symptoms as some can be pregnancy symptoms too and can be hard separate between.

Have you managed to avoid testing early? X

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and good luck Saturday

Feeling suddenly low and very fatigued and had a migraine. All my normal PMT type symptoms.

It’s to be expected really as they did tell me it was very unlikely due to my progesterone levels but still finding it so hard. I want Saturday to be here but also don’t want my worse fears confirmed!

Yes because that would cause me too much stress as I know the result would be unreliable, have thought about it lots! Have you tested early?

How are you coping in the 2ww?

Thank you and good luck to too.

Yes I’ve been very crampy and was tired. I feel like period could arrive any minute.

Do they not give anything to help with progesterone? I haven’t had any bloods for some time so not sure what this issue is for me.

I tested early. I really recommend not to as it has made my week so much worse. I had a faint positive at 8dp which got stronger and then weaker again so I am quite sure I am having a chemical pregnancy. I really wish I’d just held off testing and faced the music on Saturday. 😔

Praying for the best for us both x

It’s difficult when you get the usual signs that your period is coming but as you said they can be similar to other signs as well.

I had to have a blood test before my egg retrieval and that’s when they told me my progesterone levels were too high which would mean that the lining is not at the right stage. Was absolutely gutted but at least we have managed to get some embryos that could be used for a future frozen transfer so have to hang on to that hope.

It’s so tempting to test early isn’t it. It’s all your mind is thinking of.

Will be thinking of you on Saturday and wishing us both lots of luck.
