FET on 13 June...

Digital still stuck on 1-2 weeks. And easy at home is not darkening (top is 2 days ago, bottom is this morning)....

Is it always a sign of non viable pregnancy?

I would say to get your blood work done and track that way. What has your clinic said about it?

I don't even want to ask them. My clinic has been quite unclear throughout the process. I also think they put me on too low dose of progesterone initially which probably hurt my chances of a viable pregnancy. I feel really upset about it tbh

Im sorry for that. Id say get your clinic or your gp to do a set of bloods on you and track your hcg that way. Id also recommend a frer for testing. I find clear blue unreliable and can take quite a while to darken up and the cheapie test strip's need quite high hcg to make them a blazing positive.

Thank you. I think it looks like an early loss. I do have FRER coming on amazon today but easy@home is getting fainter everyday. Asked the clinic for hcg blood test, as I just can't bear taking all of the hormones for another 3 weeks if this is already a loss.

Also not sure if I want to complain to the clinic about how this cycle was handled. This was the last try for us (I am 39). I think the embryo was viable and good, but the progesterone was not sufficient. I dont understand why they let me transfer and thawed it when they knew my progesterone was only 12 (and they need minimum of 30)? And then we retested after 5 days and it was 36 (they cranked up my dose AFTER the transfer) and i was told that Dr "gave me an option to further increase the dose". I am still fuming about that one. Is it a recommendation or not? Was it safe or not? How can i as a patient have " an option"? when i want a clear clinical advice. I am rumbling now because I just got too attached to that embryo. It was frozen some time ago, from a much younger me, it was a 3BC but then after they thawed it it turned into 4BB... and it did implant :( and I am worried that they put me on too low dose of progesterone that I didnt have enough to support it early on.

These are all good points, you should definitely bring it up with your clinic, especially if your not happy with how the whole cycle was handled. Im sorry things didnt go the way you were hoping. I hope you have plenty of support at home.
