Hi all, I did my test yesterday and it was a BFN. I was pretty miserable yesterday and to top it off my period arrived 🙈 just to really hammer home that I wasn’t pregnant. We had a long chat last night and although we still have 3 IUI cycles available to us we want to try IVF. I’m 31 with okayish levels of everything so I’d rather try now than carry on with the IUI which so far has taken us 2 years with all the waiting for sperm etc. I’m seeing my NHS consultant on Tuesday so will ask her then. I’ll pop on the group every now and again as I’d like to see how all you wonderful ladies get on but for now I need some time to rest.

I am so sorry to hear, and then to get your period full on too, it's not easy. Please take all the time you need and do things which make you happy. You sound like you've got a good plan and I hope your consultant can start the process for you to start IVF as soon as you feel ready to. For now, take good care of yourself. Sending you a big hug and lots of love xx

@PurpleRayne89 I got mine at 5dp5dt (those 2 tests I posted earlier). Tests were negative on I think it was 2dp or 3dp when I tested my trigger and then I didn’t test again till I got my positives. I am pretty sure I felt implantation though on 4dpt - had some really strong electric shock feelings that were off and on for a couple of minutes and then I had a tiny spot of pink discharge (sorry for TMI) the day after so I tested and got the positives then. 😊 First ones ever!

For anyone that didn’t test out trigger .. this is his dark my line.. only 12 hours after (tigger last night 10:15pm and this test was 10am there) I thought it would be a darker line .. 🤷🏼‍♀️might be my tests , just cheap amazon ones.. trasfer on Saturday morning all going well so will see how long it takes to come out my system.. I never tested out my trigger with any of my last 5 transfers from last cycle so I thought I would try it this time …will be interesting to see I think.

This is so funny you have done this! I wanted to check trigger I'm 5 days past the trigger now and the line is so extremely faint! I done a double trigger so it should be so much darker! Also amazon cheapy,
Any one have a link to reliable tests from amazon?

@HopefulllHolly It sounds like a lovely journey. With my son, I tested positive at 4dp5dt, I just knew when implantation happened which prompted me to test. I got a stronger line on a FRER at 6dp5dt and then it progressed nicely, my HcG beta was 133 at 8dp5dt.

This time around, I don’t feel pregnant at all or that it’s been successful. Feeling quite down about things actually.

I'm sorry it hasn't worked this time! Your young and You have time on your hands and it's fantastic to get the free nhs services 😀 best of wishes for your next cycle ❤️

@Cloclo93 ❤️❤️❤️

HopefulllHolly · 26/05/2024 13:25

@PurpleRayne89 I can tell you’re stressed and worrying it hasn’t worked, but every pregnancy is different so just because you had a positive early on with your first doesn’t mean you’ll be the same this time. Stay strong! It’s totally out of your control now, all
you can do is be healthy and look after yourself. Sorry you’re feeling down, it’s a hard journey but try and have faith! It’s still very early and you may not have even implanted yet. 🤞
I wish my clinic did beta tests but they don’t, I think my levels are ok though from my tests and I got a 3+ weeks at 5weeks exactly, so hopefully that’s a good sign. It would reassure me more having the bloods though but not too much longer to the scan and I’ll know either way.

@PurpleRayne89 ive been pregnant 5 times now and honestly every time has been different. There’s no way to know until either a BFP or your period comes.

@Cloclo93 these are the ones I recommend

So I was overcome with the urge to test just now, and I caved and did one. Im
now just really confused?! Picture below, they were taken like 60 hours apart.

Top one is from Friday morning (9 days post trigger/2 days post transfer)
Bottom one is from Sunday evening (11 days post trigger/4 days post transfer)

I confessed to my OH just now as he was a bit annoyed and was like ‘this is why we agreed not to test as it’s only gonna confuse us!’

I’ll test in the morning on FMU and see which direction the line is headed.

HopefulllHolly · 26/05/2024 19:22

@AnnieStar12 I am soooo hoping it’s the start of your BFP! It certainly could be because they are far apart and I think your trigger should be out your system now. So exciting!! 🙏🥹 I’ll be so thrilled for you! Eeek!! xx

OP posts:
PurpleRayne89 · 26/05/2024 19:43

@AnnieStar12 Fingers crossed. The one at the bottom looks much darker.

PurpleRayne89 · 26/05/2024 19:48

The double trigger is 100% out of my system as my FRER and CB were stark white. The one step test I posted yesterday gave me 5 false positives. I got my partner to do one and it was positive. I think in future I’ll stay away from internet cheapies and just not test at all as the others are far too expensive.

HopefulllHolly · 26/05/2024 19:53

@PurpleRayne89 Sorry you had all those dud tests. It’s really like a form of torture looking for lines. You have to do what’s best for you and your mental health. Sending hugs, the TWW is truly so so hard
xx

hopefullsosbry · 26/05/2024 19:53

@AnnieStar12 hopefully this will be your BFP !!! The trigger should be out now so it could be ???
@PurpleRayne89 oh no your partner got a postive ?! That’s crazy !!! Think I’ll throw mine in the bin and just use the others coming in post .. was your postive a faint line or strong line on the one step just out of interest ?

PurpleRayne89 · 26/05/2024 19:58

@HopefulllHolly Thank you ☺️

@hopefullsosbry The positives were strong as the control line. Some of the tests were also completely blank. I’ve researched them and they are a pretty shady brand which is quite sad. Always confirm with a FRER 😬

AnnieStar12 · 26/05/2024 20:00

@PurpleRayne89 omg! I can’t believe it gave you all those false positives and even with your partners urine. Im sorry that must be stressful, but at least you know the trigger is out your system now so you can test afresh and know any line is a pregnancy.
I have also had my partner take a test in the past when I was worried I had a bad batch, luckily that time his was negative and the tests were fine, I was just having a chemical pregnancy which explained the confusing results. Be sure to leave a bad review on those tests!

I have scoured the internet for stories about trigger shot being in the system this long and have found a couple people say it was still there like day 12 I think it could still be the trigger lingering. Just gonna be an excruciating next few days waiting to see what happens with these lines.
