Stopping meds before OTD

[Knifeandfawkes]

Would you, in these circumstances.

This was our ninth transfer. I'm on a cocktail of expensive drugs. Had a positive late last week and now negative on first response. 9dp5dt so if it was positive, it'd be positive by now, for sure. I've had two successful pregnancies, this will be my second chemical and have also had an early miscarriage. I know what being pregnant feels like and I am definitely not.

OTD is Thursday.

Continuing my cocktail of expensive drugs seems pointless, a waste of money and is inflicting needless side effects on myself. Would like to stop drugs to save wasting money, stop side effects and induce a withdrawal bleed so we can move on to a FET asap.

But it feels 'naughty'...what do you think?

I personally wouldn't, no.

Any logic as to why not?

I've considered this before but ultimately have carried on until test day. I tend to think it isn't over until it's over, even though I agree that one tends to know deep down when it's over 😒 it's just a matter of a few days re your FET dates

You could test again tomorrow am? I've not done a transfer yet so I don't know if 9+5 is the same as 14dpo, in which case someone people do get a later bfp. But you're right, it does seem late. I also wondered if you've opened the drugs or if they're reusable? I think mine say you can reuse within a month of opening, in which case they'd be rubbish anyway so in that case maybe just use them up

Although just seen you are d9 today, my test fay is always 10dp5dt anyway. So I take the drugs until evening of day 9 x

Remaining drugs unopened so definitely dancing money if I stop. 9dp5dt is equivalent to 15 dpo approx I would say. I've also started bleeding this evening as well so think my body has recognised the embryo isn't viable and is rejecting it.

Maybe phone your clinic

and ask them? If it's a definite chemical then there's perhaps not much point in continuing the meds but your clinic would be able to give advice about your specific circumstances?

Sorry - accidental mid-sentence post there!
