How soon to test after FET

[MrsBowen]

Ugh did a test today 3 days after FET and it was negative.... trying not to be bummed out...

Hi @MrsBowen 3 days is way too early, it is probably way earlier than your period would be normally expected. I had a faint line 5 or 6 days after my FET and that was with early/senstive test x

I agree. I got an absolute squinter on day 4 but my husband (who has better eyesight than me!) couldn't see it at all which makes me think I had line eyes! He only saw it on day 5 but even that is early for some people and even at day 5 it was very very faint. Hang in there x

Ok fanks it's so horrid isn't it- also had a bath without thinking and now worried have washed it away

Agree with pps, 5 days after is really the earliest realistic timescale and even then it’s very far from conclusive. I’ve had a BFP FET with a v faint line on day 5 and one other BFP on the evening of day 4 but it was mind games on whether it was actually there or not! Both on FRERs. There’s no way I’d have got anything on day 3.

Try not to beat yourself up. I highly doubt a bath would make a huge difference unless it was like a hot tub. It's so easy to overthink everything - trust me, I lose sleep worrying about things I've eaten or done. It's a very emotionally charged process and we just need to try and be gentle with ourselves x
