Tw: faint BFP 8.5dp5dt

[Ivf4203]

Hi all, took these tests at 8.5 days post 5 day transfer. First morning urine (at 2am!). Clear blue says 1-2 weeks and FRER is a faint positive (see pics). I was chatting with someone on a different forum she got 2-3 weeks on her CB on 9dp5dt so not sure if this means my hcg is too low? Also when i wiped last night there was a very light pink which happened once but that’s exactly how my period starts. Should i guard my heart? I’ll call my clinic when they open but I would appreciate your advice. I’ll probably request for hcg and progesterone level. My progesterone on transfer day was 130 but it was taken 2 hrs after i took my cyclogest. I’m on cyclogest one pessary twice a day. Also not sure about progression because although a saw a squinter on d5 (only I could see it and it has to be the perfect light) i attributed it to the trigger, i stopped testing after that because I got very anxious.

I would ignore the digital test weeks indicator they arnt accurate and needs a certain amount of hcg to tick over which you just havnt reached yet so the test is fine for your gestation it only would matter if it came up negative. The frer looks great for 9dp, it's still a strong line. It's differs widely for each individual woman because you don't know when implantation occurred. Someone who implanted on day 2 is going to have a stronger line then someone who implanted on day 4. The hcg only spikes once implantation starts to occur. When is your beta hcg bloods or does your clinic not do blood tests if so when is your OTD?

@Miraclemuma03 thank you so much, my clinic’s otd is today actually (9dp5dt) but i called them to let them know about my spotting last night. Fortunately nothing further since. They just did progesterone and hcg level for me just now and I will know the result this afternoon. 🤞 🙏🏼

Hopefully not more spotting and it was just some left over from implantation. I hope you get a good first hcg number.

Keeping everything crossed for you! Let us know how it goes xx

Thanks @Miraclemuma03 and @LolaBumble . My hcg is 123 which the nurse is happy with however she said they’d like to see it double in 48hrs so coming back on Weds. My progesterone came back low at 35 but nurse suspects its because i haven’t taken my morning pessary before the blood draw (so essentially had no progesterone supplement for 12hrs). She added lubion once a day and asked that I make sure to take take this + morning cyclogest pessary before blood test Weds. Wish me luck ladies xx

Congratulations! 🫶 best of luck for Wednesday xx

That's an amazing starting hcg for only 9dp. Our clinic like to see 100 at 14dp fingers xd for doubling on Wednesday.

Update: Hcg went up to 256 so we are happy. The clinic said i no longer need to repeat unless i really want to. I so regret doing an FRER this morning, nearly had a panic attack because I thought the line was fainter compared to yesterday. The easy@home showed some progression. I won’t do home tests anymore I don’t think. The anxiety was something else!!

Definitely stop home testing now. Your hcg levels are great so that's all that matters. Congratulation.

Brilliant congratulations!! Yes put the tests away and try to enjoy 🥰
