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?

It is SO much stronger. I think it’s a positive. Fingers crossed for you x

ScatteredMama82 · 06/12/2022 12:19

OP that is definitely getting stronger. Keeping everything crossed for you, how exciting!!

stuntbubbles · 06/12/2022 12:34

That is definite progression and I have everything crossed for you; the “so many tests you could play pick-up sticks” is the most stressful stage.

Okay so I'm now away for work and I couldn't resist testing when I got to the hotel . . . I'd had a bottle of water on the train so I reckon this is quite diluted, soI think I'm okay with this line! It's not terrifying me.

I should really step away from the tests for a couple of days but I know I won't - I have one with me for the morning Blush

I how you get your baby, OP!
They look like they’re getting darker to me

alittleadvicepls · 06/12/2022 21:18

Omg getting darker!!! I loved tracking my line progression!

Reggiethevizslasmum · 06/12/2022 21:19

Definitely can see a line

YoSofi · 06/12/2022 21:20

Well there’s no mistaking that line!! 😀

Also, don’t forget the tests dry slightly darker which is why this mornings maybe didn’t look as strong compared to yesterdays!

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 06/12/2022 21:20

Your eggo is preggo.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 06/12/2022 21:24

Looks positive to me! Congratulations!

Clymene · 06/12/2022 21:42

Definitely stronger. SmileSmileSmileSmile

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 06/12/2022 21:50

As a fellow IVf'er (with 2 DC) That's a definite line! xxx

uncomfortablydumb53 · 06/12/2022 23:23

The evening one from your hotel is very strong!

PriamFarrl · 06/12/2022 23:32

No mistaking that line!

WeeFamilyOfThree · 07/12/2022 07:05

Good morning! The test I did last night (top) with the test I did just now. It's not quite as dark as I'd like it to be but I know there is variation in the amounts of dye, concentration of wee etc. so I'm calming the crazy.

I think I might be able to muster the strength to stop testing for a couple of days - I'll definitely come back to this thread with an outcome though, in case anyone else in this position stumbles across it, as I know I've found other peoples experiences helpful. I always wonder what happened in the end, when a thread tails off!

I just want to say thank you so much for all the positivity and support - it has really helped me to share this. It can be lonely sometimes, as so many of you know.

And now I'm off to start work, act normal, and think up a good excuse to not drink at the weekend Grin

Wow that’s now an official BFP

MrsWhites · 07/12/2022 07:45

This mornings is as dark as I would expect for a positive test, that’s clearly getting stronger. Don’t forget they dry a bit darker too so hard to compare an old test to a new one.

Congratulations, I really hope it all goes well for you x

lollyloo88 · 07/12/2022 12:37

Congrats OP! Happy for you xxx

Footballmyarse · 07/12/2022 12:55

I’m hoping for excellent news when you update! But yes, there is no mistaking that line. All the best OP! Wishing you lots of luck.

TokyoSushi · 07/12/2022 12:59

Wishing you so much luck OP!

NameChange1718 · 07/12/2022 17:09

Good luck, OP!
All good signs so far

Luncheonmeatsandwich · 07/12/2022 19:26

That's a lovely BFP

Twinklenoseblows · 07/12/2022 19:31

Wow that's really good line progression. I've got everything crossed for you.
