WORRIED—early on 9dp5dt, more spotting, AM I OUT?

[LuxFleur]

Edit: Now that it is later in the morning, there is yet more spotting, and it is more red/pink in color, not just brown. Not the bright full red of blood, but still.

I'm having more of this watery spotting. I put in a panty liner just so I could see it better, and it's also visible on the paper. It's still brownish, but was a bit redder this morning, which I do not think is a good sign. I know that people get this kind of thing but I'm worried that it's not a good sign for me. As I've said before, I did not get any bleeding or spotting with my BFN or with my BFP—although both were FET and this is a fresh transfer. I just really hope that it is not my period starting.

It will be a real bummer if I do not even get to OTD. I'll feel much better if this spotting stops, or at least just doesn't change at all for a few days.

I feel stupid because I think I did things wrong this time. Last time I tried not to have sugar and cut down on bread and I got a BFP. This time I didn't do that, figuring it wasn't real, but now I am worried.

Anyone get spotting like this and still get BFP???

Keeping everything crossed for you! I can’t say anything from experience exactly. Is your OTD Monday? X

Hi, it's supposed to be Tuesday. Ages away.

What you eat/don’t eat has absolutely nothing to do with implantation or not hun so don’t worry about that! I had the same symptoms (or lack there of) when I had a fresh transfer or a FET, so again…don’t look too much into comparing the two…each time is different! Good luck 🤞🏻 X

Fingers crossed for you!! Bleeding has been 50/50 for me sometimes means a BFP sometimes means period.... just another cruel twist of nature keeping us in suspense! You are doing well to hold back from testing at 9dpt I have never made it past 7 days to find out xx

I definitely don't think you've done anything to negatively impact the embryo implantation LuxFleur, so try not to think that way. Having sugar and carbs won't do any harm at all (in fact my clinic says eat lots of carbs 😂🤷 - back to this avalanche of advice discussion!) I think as long as you aren't bleeding significantly, it isn't anything to worry about and won't count you out. Its weird isn't it... I think I'd be excited if I saw a tiny bit of blood, but terrified of more. And once you see a bit, you obsess and spend all day checking your pants! My only other ET I bled quite a bit, early. Like day 2 into day 3 after transfer. At first I thought it might be a good sign, early implantation, but it got a bit heavier and I just though nope 😔 But then it stopped entirely the rest of the TWW, so went back to having hope. That time I didn't get a BFP, sadly, but it stays with you... this time I'm just paranoid I'll start bleeding any moment. Hoping that being on lubion is helping me this time... Anyway, sorry, rambling!! Bloody TWW 😭😫Just try to remember that people actually bleed a fair bit and still get positives 🥰 xx

Don’t beat yourself up Lux! Having sugar and bread will not impact the result - my first ivf I did not change my diet and got a bfn and for my second, I lost weight, ate healthily and still got a bfn. The tww is so tough, be kind to yourself - hope you can find some way to distract yourself xx

Hey, you've made it to 9dp which is amazing and you just have to hang for a few more days. This 2ww is so tough and we all need whatever to get us through it so don't beat yourself up about your diet. I'm 8dp fet and ate half a tub of ben and Jerry's on Tuesday 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just needed it!

Many people do have a bit of bleeding and still get that bfp but know from experience it's so hard to not worry. This is the most stressful time so try to do something nice and sending you loads of hugs xx
