13dp5dt Clearblue only says 1-2weeks!

Hi,

First IVF round with ICSI. Today was my official test day at 13dp5dt. I've had some faint and some dark positive pregnancy tests from 9dp5dt. I've been trying to stay positive and believe that I am pregnant, however today I took a clearblue expecting it to say 2-3 weeks and it only says 1-2!
My conception date was 17 days ago and technically I am now 4+4 (conception 2+4 weeks ago). Has anyone else had this and not ended up having a chemical pregnancy? I'm sure my HCG should be a lot lighter by now.
I'll attach a pic.
These are all today. I pee'd at about 2am (couldn't hold it) then done the test at about 5:30am but didn't drink anything since way before going to bed.
Top one is CB
Middle is my IVF clinic sensitivity 25
Bottom is boots own ?? Not sure on sensitivity.
Can't help but feel really anxious.

Still on my journey @PeggySand.
Currently 4DP5DT with my fourth transfer.... ever so hopeful but it was a fresh and embryonic untested so time will tell!

How are you?

@Mm12393 what happened with your further tests and pregnancy so far?

Only update if you want to of course. I'm glad my story was helpful to you and lots of other ladies. Xx

@PeggySand your story made me cry so much. I am so genuinely happy for you. I have been struggling so much with this cycle. Im currently 10dp5dfet. I started testing at 6dp buty lines are very faint and the progression is very slow. Im worried it is a chemical. My embryo is a 7 day embryo. It actually stopped developing at 5 days and i was told bt my clinic that they would leave it till day 6 but this is only protocol until they discard it and that almost certainly it failed. The next day they said it miraculously started developing and on day 7 they said it reached a full blast. It was frozen and transferred 10 days ago. Im not sure whether there is any hope for me but your story has given me more hope that you could imagine. I pray for all of us that are going through this horrible roller coaster journey

I hope everyone is well and pregnancies are developing nicely. Hope and love to all of you who are playing the waiting game.

My baby boy was born at 41+4. I was in prodromal labour for weeks and latent labour with contractions for 4 days, not progressing past 3cm. It ended in my 2nd emergency C section. It wasn't what I'd hoped for, but he turned out to be quite poorly with sepsis so he needed to come out ASAP. He did unfortunately have to spend 2 days in NICU needing some oxygen and lots of antibiotics but he recovered very well.
We came home when he was 8 days old. I'm now sat in bed feeding him he's a chunky 14lbs at 12 weeks old and we're all doing well as a family of 4. Crazy to think how my life has changed so much.

Thinking of you all. Xx

@PeggySand thank you so much for keeping this updated!
I've just read your story and cried! Your story gives me so so much hope!

I'm currently 13dp5dt, my FRER lines have got stronger from 9dp5dt but have been pretty much the same since 11dp5dt. They aren't dye stealers but very visible. I've had a 1-2 weeks on clear blue digi, but really hit and miss lines on other tests. I'm panicking as I've had multiple losses before and a chemical last year. I have some symptoms but nothing wild, so just hoping and praying for a positive outcome

@LunaPuggies22 so happy for you ❤️ I had my son via IVF so completely understand your nervousness - it's such a tough and all- encompassing journey. I am now gearing up for number 2 - hoping to avoid the need for IVF! Get your early scan booked in - you'll feel so much better after that ❤️

LunaPuggies22 · 08/08/2023 20:48

@MotherOfShihTzus

Thank you for your reply. I had my HCG blood test yesterday and my levels at 9dp5dt were 282!!! I can’t believe it!! Still doesn’t feel real, have a scan booked towards the end of the month so hopefully all is well.

MotherOfShihTzus · 06/08/2023 22:59

@LunaPuggies22 sounds like you are pregnant! Congratulations :)

LunaPuggies22 · 04/08/2023 20:55

Hi, really hoping I can get some reassurance because I am driving myself more insane by the minute trying to work out the science of it all.

TTC for 3.5 years, I’m 34, we had private investigations as didn’t want to wait for referral.
First & only funded IVF round last month.
5 eggs, 4 fertilised and had 2 day 5 blasts transferred on 29/07 - which is a really significant day for us both so holding on to hope. Usually they would only transfer 1 but as we had none for the freezer they put both in.

I’ve tested since 4dp5dt and got 2 lines then tonight I’ve done a CB digital and it says 1-2 weeks. Is that about right for me being 6dp5dt?

I've had twinges, weird pulls in my back and a little extra CM. HCG is booked for 3 days time but I can’t help but keep testing!

Currently sat here on my birthing ball at 41 weeks waiting for our little boy to arrive! Updating because I always think of the start of our journey to becoming a family and how I felt when I started this thread.

Thinking of anyone who is in the same position I was in 2 years ago, don't loose hope. Xx

I've been reading this thread & I'm fully invested! When baby boy make his appearance? Such an incredible story & so happy for you! X

Haha you're welcome, I found the same when looking for answers myself. Surprisingly to us and everyone, when my daughter was 8 months old we conceived naturally. I'm now 16 weeks pregnant and well on the road to 2 under 2!
