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?

Congratulations, I can see the faintest line on the first pic but those ones this evening are proper good ‘uns! I’m grinning like a loon for you Flowers

Well, this morning's test isn't looking great. I would have expected a slightly darker line, so I have a horrible feeling it's another chemical. Which I totally knew could happen, and it's a danger of testing early - the excitement of a positive then the disappointment as it fades away.

I guess I'll do another test this evening but it's going to be a long day.

Thank you for all the messages and support - it's lovely that random people on the internet are so kind!

I think that is a stronger line. Hope so much for you he/she is a sticker x

NCgoingdry · 06/12/2022 06:14

That's definitely stronger than yesterdays!!

yellowmoosefever · 06/12/2022 06:27

Yes can see the line. Congratulations x

Y7drama · 06/12/2022 07:08

Again, I can see a line. All the best.

JustCheckingItsMine · 06/12/2022 07:19

I think that’s a clearer line than yesterday, still only 5DPT - stay positive!

MrsWhites · 06/12/2022 07:22

Looking at your photos from yesterday and today, I think that’s definitely a little bit stronger! Congratulations x

catinboots123 · 06/12/2022 07:23

I can see it!!!

Ifeellikeateenageragain · 06/12/2022 08:16

OP, I know what you're saying but it is still very very very early - and for an early rest that's still a good line!

I'm hoping very very much for good things for you.

BigsyMalone · 06/12/2022 08:20

Good luck xxx

babysharksb1tch · 06/12/2022 08:20

OP, you are testing so early is this day 5 post transfer? Is it a fresh cycle and you've tested the trigger shot out? Good luck from another IVF mama x

Thisonetoday · 06/12/2022 08:22

I think the line looks clearer! Test again in a couple of days

jackstini · 06/12/2022 09:03

That's a very clear line for only 5 days past
Will be crossing my fingers for you

TheChosenTwo · 06/12/2022 09:23

I definitely see it today, congratulations 🥳

alittleadvicepls · 06/12/2022 09:25

Can you do a line progression post? It looks darker than yesterdays?

rainbowstardrops · 06/12/2022 09:31

Good luck! I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

NurseP · 06/12/2022 09:34

Another one saying a stronger line than yesterday! Eeek!!!

WeeFamilyOfThree · 06/12/2022 09:50

Thank you so much everyone - your words of encouragement are really helping me.

Yes, I'm five days post-embryo transfer, and it was a five-day blast. It was a frozen transfer so no trigger shot to test out - which is a huge blessing as my head is fried already!

I was asked for a progression photo so here it is . . . and I think you're all right, it's a smidgen darker than yesterday. I'm just well and truly in the grip of 2WW mania - sounds like so many of you know the feeling all too well Flowers

That is so much stronger today!! I’ve got it all crossed for you.

somuchtolearnabout · 06/12/2022 10:11

100000% stronger today. I don't know you but I am ROOTING for you 😭

HeatwaveToNightshade · 06/12/2022 11:52

Oh gosh, I really hope your line gets darker. Looks promising.

I'm in menopause now but had my children in my forties and remember well the rollercoaster of emotions around testing!

babysharksb1tch · 06/12/2022 11:58

OP, it's for sure darker than yesterday. And still super early, I've everything crossed for you!
