Early test after transfer - negative

[Lrv1987]

I need someone to talk some sense or something into me. I had my transfer on 30 June- so 4 days ago - at 10am and I don't know what possessed me but I took a test , and it's negative, and now I'm gutted. It could still be positive right in a few days?! And I didn't do the first wee of the morning which was also stupid 🙈🙈
The anxiety is real 😂

I also got a bfn at 4 days but the squintiest squinter at 5 (assuming 5dt) I wouldn’t have believed day 5 unless I backed it up the next few days,

I know ppl say don’t test early but I think I found doing it at 4 (and 3🤷🏻‍♀️) helped me face the anxiety of just doing a test as even if it’s negative, this early, you shouldn’t lose hope 🤞

absolutely still a chance! Sending you loadsa good luck, the anxiety is just crazy! ❤️

4dpt is super super early. I stopped testing early once I realised that no good comes of it - even if its positive, you'll then get obsessed with whether the line is getting darker.

My two success pregnancies are the ones where I didn't test early, so I'm now superstitious that waiting to OTD leads to success :)

That’s definitely too early! I had my transfer yesterday and I won’t be testing until OTD or maybeeeee the day before OTD. You’d expect to get a negative 4dpt surely?

Think you’re too early - but know the wait is the worst thing
it can take a few days to implant so try not to worry too much
Good luck!

I tested negative at 4dpt. At 5 days I had a squinter but was convinced it was an evap. 7 days was when I had a very clear bfp.

@Lrv1987 I'm not going to talk sense into you because I too am a serial tester! However some tips: FRER only at this stage / frozen transfers can take a little longer than fresh / I never got a line before 5dp5dt / my evening tests were always darker than morning. I also firmly believe testing early is a good thing because if you do experience a chemical that is a bit of extra knowledge for your situation. Good luck!

Thank you everyone! Really appreciate the counsel. I'm 9dp5dt and showing positive which is getting darker so feeling better ❤️❤️ won't quite be okay until he or she is here but for today at least I am pregnant

@Lrv1987 im 4dp5dt and tested early, it’s negative. I’m just wondering when did you get your positive in the end? Did you continue testing each day? I’m hoping I still have a chance knowing I tested too early. This is my 4th transfer, the first one I tested positive on day 5 but it was a frozen embryo.
congratulations too on your positive! So nice to see those lines xxx

@figgyandpig I tested every day and it got progressively darker , but only started showing day 6
Some people don't show until day 9 so you've definitely got time! Keeping everything crossed for you - it's such an anxious time.
I tested everyday because it helped me to manage my anxiety about it all , but it's not for everyone. Whatever you do is right for you ❤️❤️

Hope you're okay xxx

Congratulations @Lrv1987 ! This is incredible news, i trust the rest of the pregnancy will be just as fruitful💜 as much as I want to test early I'm going to waiting until OTD, just a few days away.

Did you have any obvious signs you were pregnant ?

@Rosequartzz not really, just super tired , and boobs were a bit sore, but that could have been progesterone too 🙈
Just want to fast forward until the end of pregnancy now - the anxiety 😂😂😂

@Rosequartzz - keeping everything crossed that you get a positive result - such a long two weeks xxxx

@Lrv1987 sorry for the late reply. I tested again on day 5 and got a very faint line. Tested again yesterday and today and the lines have got darker so I guess I’m pregnant!🥰 I have bloods on Monday so fingers crossed for some good numbers. Hope everything’s going well for you too. I also find testing everyday helpful, it makes me feel less anxious. The scan will be the most scariest for me. I just want the baby to be here now haha

@figgyandpig that's amazing news! So pleased for you. Yes I just want to fast forward 9 months now too 😂😂😂
How you feeling?

@Lrv1987 im feeling ok, a little fullness in my tummy. I did have super sore nipples 😮‍💨 but that’s eased off (which is another worry in itself, symptoms disappearing) just trying to not read into every little twinge. I had some implantation spotting today (each pregnancy I’ve had I usually get the spotting on day 7) trying not to worry about that being the start of my period. Such a whirlwind of emotions and questioning everything!

I just want to know my hcg numbers then I’ll feel a little more relaxed. Then it’ll be the worry of the scan. 😵‍💫

hiw are you feeling? Have you had your scan yet?

@figgyandpig
I know exactly what you mean- it messes with your head so much!!
My scan is 30th July and just want to get there now
I've had sore boobs too, and the tiredness has been biblical 😂😂
Have you got your scan booked?

@Lrv1987 I got my positive yesterday ! I ended up testing a day early as I had a bit of spotting the night before and was so worried. Lines were dark and I sent it to the clinic who were pleased with the results.

When is your scan ? I've booked my for the 5th of Aug

@Rosequartzz that's amazing congratulations!!!!!!!!
Really pleased for you. Got my scan on 30th which feels like a lifetime away 😂😂😂

@Lrv1987 no scan booked yet, I go in Monday with results and to take bloods so I’m guessing they’ll book the scan in then following the bloood results? im still spotting a little (brown colour when I wipe) I was hoping it would have wore off by now.
good luck with your scan! So that’ll be 6 weeks? So exciting! 🧡🧡🧡

@Lrv1987 How are you feeling? Your scan is coming up 🥰🥰 I’m really stressing out, I have no symptoms at all! My hcg bloods were gall good and doubling etc but having no symptoms feels like I’m not pregnant! I’ve got my scan booked for the 6th august.

@Rosequartzz How have you been feeling? My scan is just after yours! I’ve had no symptoms so feeling quite stressed 😵‍💫 really hoping we all get some lovely scan results xx

@figgyandpig oh bless you - the ivf anxiety is just real. If your HCG levels are good that's great! That's what matters. It's still quite early too, but also some women don't get any symptoms so that's normal too!
If you're concerned see if they'll do your hcg again in a week or something just to put your mind at rest xxx

@Lrv1987 Yeah I rang my clinic and said I’d like another blood test between now and the 6 week scan but she said not to do one because it’s no benefit. She said if the numbers are good I could still miscarry. I had one at 12dpt and one at 14dpt and they increased.
I think I’ll book one in for Tuesday because I’d rather know if the numbers are decreasing before the scan. I haven’t wished for time to pass so much as I have done now! 😵‍💫🧡

@figgyandpig I know- it's so hard isn't it - if I could fast forward life 9 months I would 😂😂
Have they booked you in for scan when you're 6 or 7 weeks?

@Lrv1987 Yes I’m in on the 6th august for a 6 week scan. I’ll be 6w+4. Praying for a good heart beat. But will deffo get some bloods Tuesday I think. I need the reassurance 🧡
