Best pregnancy tests

Hi there!

I’m due my FET in a couple of weeks and the anxiety is getting real. I want to buy some pregnancy tests as the fertility clinic aren’t testing until one month after which seems forever. Does anyone have any recommendations for early detection pregnancy tests? I believe I still need to wait 10 days before using a test at home but has anyone experience testing sooner. Also how many tests should I do for confirmation? Is it wise to have a few?

Also, while I’m here, what do you recommend doing on transfer day? The consultant has told me to carry on as normal which I find odd as for all he knows I could be a professional bungee jumper. I am normally quite active, I go to dancing once a week and jog a few times a week also. I have two goofy dogs so constantly bending down, getting tripped up etc.

Hi, I think first response early results is a good test. Pink dye tests are generally better than blue dye tests. Good luck with your FET 🍀

My doctor advised me to take it easy on the transfer day and to have a normal life from the day after, but to avoid any strenuous activities. Bending down is not recommended.

Thanks @Serendipity24 i will have a look at that thread. Would those tests work earlier than 10 days?
