Possible chemical?

Any help to stop me from spiralling? I was stark negative yesterday morning having had IVF frozen transfer 4dp5dt and on the same day 3pm I had a visible positive on diluted urine. This morning 5dp on FMU my test is visibly lighter. Is it likely to be a chemical ? No trigger shot taken. Or is there some hope with the short window between tests ? See photo

There’s not really a way of knowing just yet - you’ll have to test again in a few days. It’s very early! Fingers crossed it’s good news for you.

I agree with PP, you really can't tell at this point. It could be a chemical, but it could also be beginning of a positive if your 5dpt urine was more diluted than the 4dpt one. Best to test again in a few days. Good luck 🍀

@Josiedis You are testing VERY early. This is why early testing never helps in my opinion. Try to resit testing for a few days, and wait and see.

Thanks for all your comments. I’ve had an early loss before so I have been quite manic about this. It seems that I’m one of those people where FMU is not accurate, every day lighter than the day before but evening darker. I have been focusing on good line progression based on that. I was very stupid and booked a private blood test on 5dpt and 6dpt and have freaked out because it only went from 34 to 40. This could likely still mean not viable but I’m hanging on to some small hope. If I was just looking at the tests I would feel hopeful

The progression looks fine on your tests - fingers crossed!

@Josiedis The lines are looking good. As for the blood test, you should always test them at least 48 hours apart as that is the time required to double, though it may take slightly longer for some people. All the best 🍀

Thanks both, my progression on easy at home looks better than frer. Today I feel my symptoms have disappeared. I’m going to stop testing now for my sanity , waiting for a blood test 4 more days

Lines look good to me! I had an early loss and swore never to test early again as just drove me bonkers!

@2mumlife I feel exactly the same. I have turned into a maniac of a woman these past few days. I’m so annoyed at myself as I have all but convinced myself that it’s not going to progress and robbed myself of the joy of what should be a wonderful time.
