Hi, I am 8dp3dt, it was a fresh transfer but it's been 16 days since trigger. I gave up and tested at home, now not sure what to think. Is it definitely a positive and a good one? I want to enjoy this moment but nervous AF.

Definitely positive!! Congratulations! It’s a much better line than the one I got when I tested early after my day three transfer, and now he’s happily asleep next door ♥️

merryandbrightdelight · 14/09/2024 21:58

Yes, congratulations!

I don't think it's faint.

HiroshimaBaby · 15/09/2024 06:24

Thanks everyone. I tested again this morning FMU and the line is even more faint, getting worried, should it not be stronger? Beta test in 2 days.

Thank you, did the line get darker for you? Not sure why but bracing myself. This is mental!

It did get darker but it definitely took a few days, I did the first test which gave me a very very faint line, got my hopes up (despite my best efforts not to!), and then tested again a day or two later only to think that maybe it had been a faulty test because there hadn’t really been any change! But it did get darker, and once I’d had my viability scan I stopped testing and then my symptoms started! It’s a hard time, but try to relax and take it day by day!

Thank you. Can i ask how many days post transfer? I am 10 days post transfer, albeit my transfer was late evening. I would have thought by now the line would be dark?

With our three day transfer I first tested 7 days past transfer I think, but we did a morning transfer. It is a really stressful time, I definitely found the wait between my official test date and my viability scan to be the most difficult part.

LFH1990 · 15/09/2024 09:40

This is my first test from 7dp3dt

Is this a positive?
LFH1990 · 15/09/2024 09:44

This one is from 10dp3dt…so really not much progression from 7 days to 10 days. I’ve got everything crossed for you ♥️

Thank you for sharing these. Did you go on to have healthy pregnancy with good levels? The tests i have from Boots and i can see even the control line is blurry for mine, so maybe i am doing something wrong? I am 43, and its my second transfer, last one didnt stick. So finding it hard to shake off anxiety

Good luck, OP.
I know how anxious you're feeling.
I really hope things go well.

I did yes, we were really lucky because we only made one embryo which we transferred at day 3 and he went the distance and is now a lovely 2.5 year old. Getting it to stick might only be the first hurdle, but it’s a really big one, so for now things are looking really good for you. There’s nothing I can say unfortunately to make it any easier, this part is just really really tough ♥️

PMAmostofthetime · 15/09/2024 12:09

Try first response I have very clear positives at 9dp5dt and they kept getting darker. Pink die tests seem to give clearer results. My toddler is just napping.

Congratulations x

Gosh thats amazing, trying to believe its possible!

Hi, looks like its darkening now. i also think boots strips are flawed and have less colour in them? Beta tomorrow, really hoping its a good number of HCG.

Is this a positive?
OP posts:
LFH1990 · 16/09/2024 20:29

@HiroshimaBaby that’s really good progression, looking really good for you!! Those test strips always take aaaaages to get properly dark; if you want to cheer yourself up do an FRER and you’ll get a lovely dark line now 😍

WhiteOleander3105 · 16/09/2024 20:50

Is this positive? The test line showed up at exactly three minutes but doesn't look pink or purple. So is it positive? Any comments or opinions about it are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
