As I was replying I realised the thread has reached the limit.
I thought I'd create a new thread for us all to keep in touch.

@Melisss I really thought I was seeing things. I'm 9dp5dt. I'm just praying it sticks . I did a test at 7dp but shoved it in a drawer and couldn't look 😄
I'm dreading stopping the progesterone as I just keep feeling like AF is trying to come on.

@LuckyPineapple I've had cramping too. A few nights during last week I awoke from my sleep with the pain

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is doing ok.

@MoonlightDreamer congratulations 🙌 I hope everything will go well for you!

My OTD is this Friday, but I couldn't wait and tested yesterday and today. Yesterday I've used ClearBlue and there was a second faint line, I got so happy until I've read the recent reviews on Amazon that people are getting false positives... Today I tested again using another brand and it was negative. So heartbreaking 😭

They shouldn't even sell these tests if so many people had problems. It's so tough seeing a positive result when you waited for so long to then find out it's false.

I feel today like I am giving up. Never expected this journey to be so hard. And it's only my first transfer. I am a total mess today. Sorry for so much negativity, just wanted to share with someone who might understand 😔

Hi all, i hope you dont mind me joining.

@MoonlightDreamer congratulations.
Have you had any symptoms? I had a transfer on Saturday so I guess that makes me 3dp5dt?
Our only embryo was an average grade

@MoonlightDreamer ♥️

@NewBee21 Were the tests the same strength? How many days post transfer are you? I’m sorry, I know how awful this can be. Hugs.

@NewBee21
Could you try with a different test?
They might have different sensitivities .
I used boots own brand test. The 5 days early one

@Lauralozzle I had a transfer last Monday. Does it make it 7 or 8 days? I actually used 3 different ones today and one of them (Boots) was the same strength as ClearBlue from yesterday 😥

By the way I am sorry that you had a negative. Stay strong and look after yourself 💕

@MoonstoneGoddess welcome.
Honestly, I wouldn't concern myself with grades anymore. I had a double transfer 5bc and 3cc which are poor quality, and clearly one has implanted. I wouldn't hesitate to transfer a poor quality embryo again.

Symptoms wise. I've had a multitude of symptoms since my transfer but I really don't know if any are related or not

Ah @MoonlightDreamer I was so happy to see your post! Congratulations! 🥰 Wishing you a sticky healthy baby!

Maybe the cramps are a good thing after all!

@MoonlightDreamer I will try to test again tomorrow, but I feel like it will be negative 😞 here is the picture of the tests I did.

@NewBee21 Some tests really are awful! As if there isn't enough to worry about. How many days past transfer are you?

I'm 7dp5dt and literally terrified to test. I've never seen a positive other than testing out a trigger last time.

@LuckyPineapple thank you! 🥰

@Melisss @Hopingforno2in2023 best of luck to you both for the EC tomorrow, the thought was honestly worse than the reality, sending positive vibes your way!

@MoonlightDreamer Omg congratulations!!! What a lovely looking line!! I know you will be full of so many emotions but hope you can enjoy your moment and bask in the happiness right now! ❤️

@LuckyPineapple 😆 I did the same thing after my trigger 🙈 I took a test as just wanted to know what a postive looks like

Infertility makes us a little unhinged! 😂 I am so happy for you! 🥰

@Hopingforno2in2023 @Melisss are you both still getting cervical ovulation mucas ? I’m not 👀😳

@Rosesinbloom19 thanks I’ve just been and got my supplies ready for tomorrow

@Lauralozzle thinking of you … take time for you ! Don’t give up 🩷

Congratulations @MoonlightDreamer that's a great line!

@NewBee21
I like the boots early test personally. I think I can see a very faint line on the boots one. Hard to compare all different brands. Maybe pick one and stick with that if you can. What a stressful limbo to be in ☹️

Did you read the clear blue within the time frame?
Were they both first morning urine?

General rule for testing that someone told me: if you're testing early, your urine should be the colour of apple juice or darker to get the best result. Anything lighter and it's not worth it.

omg @MoonlightDreamer Congrats!! How many days post are you? I am losing sense of time now 3dp...

@NewBee21
Is there a really faint line on the boots? Or is it just the lighting ? I would try again tomorrow with the same brand.
Is it the 5 days early one or standard?
Could your urine have been diluted ?

@4thcyclelucky I'm 9dp5dt today.
I did a test on Sunday aswell which was 7dp but couldn't bring myself to look at it . Had I of done so I'd of known sooner and probably wouldn't have binged on junk last night

@Millie89xx was not paying attention haha but now that you saying it looks like it has dried up 😛
What supplies did you get?

@Melisss oh got some perfume free shower gel ect and moisturiser for my face I’ll be as dry as if I don’t use that Atleast on my face .. how u feeling for tomorrow I feel quite calm and ready for it. I bet that will change in the morning when I’m getting ready 😂😳

Congrats @MoonlightDreamer! Absolutely lovely line.

I’m sorry the tests are messing you around @NewBee21.

My mucus is gone @Millie89xx. It is like a fireworks display in my lower abdomen however, weird popping sensations.

Happy days! @MoonlightDreamer The binge may have reduced some stress levels (assuming no alcohol!) too, happy food happy belly!😁

@Millie89xx I am a wreck 😅So nervous and scared. I don t do well in hospitals at all. Just hope I keep it together and don`t have a panic attack.
