Tested today 5 days post a 5 day transfer and I’m spiralling as got a negative. So scared of yet another failed cycle 😭

I'm not familiar with IVF testing and what that means but just wanted to send you a hug.

I haven’t got experience of IVF, when is it suggested you test?

Myfridgeiscool · 01/03/2026 08:36

Oh OP. Is this the day you’re due to test?

SuperSugarHigh · 01/03/2026 08:38

I don’t think you’re out, you are still a long way off ‘official’ test day and actually still early days post transfer.

I only had one round of IVF, which didn’t work, but just wanted to send hugs and crossed fingers - it’s such an emotional and physically draining, painful process. I hope you get your BFP.

It’s still early though? My test date from the clinic was 11 days post transfer so yours must be another six days away?
Don't rule yourself out just yet! I do remember how horrendous that waiting was but it could still be good news xx

Still very early! We didn’t get a positive of any kind until 7dp5dt and even then it was very faint. Are you using the strip tests?

PlanBFertility26 · 01/03/2026 10:11

@heroofalexandria was you negative before then? I’m using the strip tests. This morning’s one had a sensitive of picking up 10 HCG which is why I’m worrying

As hard as it is, you need to give it time. I think I wasn't meant to test before 10 days post transfer at the earliest, clinic actually said 14 days. And even then...an early positive doesn't mean it'll stick. I've had two rounds where I had an early positive and once 14dpt rolled around, my period had arrived. Fingers crossed for you...
The result of my sixth transfer is currently snoozing in bed, having a nap.

Still soooo early. I only got a faint bfp at 7days post transfer.

JTRSOP · 01/03/2026 11:32

Don’t the fertility drugs contain some HCG, which is why they don’t recommend testing early? I could be completely way off the mark there as it’s been a while. I had IVF in 2015 and didn’t test until I went in for the blood test. I can’t remember how many days post (3 day) transfer that was. Actually, I’m sure it was two weeks - had the transfer Friday morning and my test was also on a Friday.

Good luck OP - it’s a fraught time.

I didnt test. But it was super faint so I reckon I would've got bfn.

RitaFires · 01/03/2026 12:30

I didn't test until the clinic told me to, testing too early or too often would have only stressed me out more. You might be still in, give it more time.

Frieda86 · 01/03/2026 12:33

Im sending you huge positive vibes.
