Am I just knackered or is there a ghost of a line?

I know, I know, I need to wait a couple of days and do another test, but anyone who has been on the IVF rollercoaster knows that many of us take leave of our senses in the two-week-wait!

As my tests have just been delivered, I had an impulse to try one, even though it's only 4 days after embryo transfer (5 day blast). It's not my first pee of the day either. But I'm sure I can see the ghost of a line?

For transparency I'm going to add at this point that after 4 cycles of IVF we were lucky enough to have our little girl. This is our last embryo and if it doesn't work, we know how lucky we are to be parents at all. It would be like winning the lottery twice!

But . . . maybe it's possible?

I can

PhDmum22 · 05/12/2022 09:55

Bit too soon to tell I'm afraid, can't see a clear line.

InTheFutilityRoomEatingBiscuits · 05/12/2022 09:55

I can see that line OP.

fingers crossed for you.

I can see a line!

PhDmum22 · 05/12/2022 09:55

Try tomorrow with the first pee!

October2020 · 05/12/2022 09:55

Yep that's a line. But (and I know this well after my own IVF journey so this is said so kindly!!) remember there is the risk of trigger shot hangover. Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you that it is a real line. I got my feint positive at 7dp5dt. Xx

WeeFamilyOfThree · 05/12/2022 10:05

Oh my goodness, if it's not just me who can see something, maybe it's possible! 

No trigger shot, @October2020 - this was a FET, however I completely understand and agree with your note of caution, I've had several unsuccessful pregnancies so very much take things day by day.

However, today I feel like there's a chance, and that's good enough for now!

I feel giddy Grin

I have everything crossed for you - I can see a very faint line!

Soddingchristmas · 05/12/2022 10:58

I can see a line too! Keeping everything crossed for you!

alittleadvicepls · 05/12/2022 11:01

Defo something there. You can take another test tonight and see if it’s slightly clearer (just because I know waiting until morning is torture!).

WeeFamilyOfThree · 05/12/2022 11:04

Totally going to do that, @alittleadvicepls Grin

Footballmyarse · 05/12/2022 11:05

I remember getting the same on that make of test, taking it apart, holding it up to the light, a window, anything.

The resulting two year old is currently nicking my crips.

I can see that faint line. good luck!

Rachaelrachael · 05/12/2022 11:06

There's a definite line there, but try to wait it out a few days before testing again (or wait for your blood test). Coming from someone who tested obsessively after my embryo transfer, had a faint line which didn't get darker and turned out to be a chemical. 2nd time I didn't test at all and waited for the call and that one stuck! Good luck, keep us updated!

Y7drama · 05/12/2022 11:07

I can see a line. Good luck op, will be thinking of you.

mintich · 05/12/2022 11:08

There's definitely something there! Fingers crossed

hallodarknessmyoldfriend · 05/12/2022 11:09

I can see it! Good luck Flowers

October2020 · 05/12/2022 11:13

Ooh sorry for my wrong info I didn't read the FET bit. Best of luck. Let us know, we are invested with you now!

Quitelikeit · 05/12/2022 11:16

I can see a line too. I’d go to the shop and buy one of those cheap stock ones too as the brands all have different sensitivity levels

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 05/12/2022 11:16

Good luck, OP - I can see it. It's brought back memories of our IVF. I got a strong, clear positive 7 days post 5 day blastocyst transfer. so you're not too much before me. She's now 7:-) Hoping your outcome is just as successful.

Lookthereisarobin · 05/12/2022 11:44

I can see a faint line, clearer on the first pic. Eek! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

SeaGlassShining · 05/12/2022 11:49

I see a line on the first photo!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏾 best wishes OP xxxx

There’s a line

HumourReplacementTherapy · 05/12/2022 12:00

I see a line Smile

stuntbubbles · 05/12/2022 12:03

I can see it. And they’re always fainter in photos. It’s enough of a line that it would have me pawning a kidney to invest in a million more tests to frantically pee on and examine over a very sane next 48 hours.
