7dp5dt - Fresh Cycle. Did a home pregnancy test to save my sanity

As the heading suggests, although I’ve got a blood test on Friday (11dp5dt) after a Fresh Embryo Transfer (2 embryos), and they advised against testing at home - I couldn’t help myself!

I’ve been driving myself mad, convinced that it definitely hasn’t worked for us.

It’s our first and possibly only cycle as unfortunately we didn’t get enough embryos to freeze any, and we don’t know if we can afford another round. I’m 41, we have been TTC for 5 years almost to the day - we have been together for 6.5 years so we didn’t mess around!

My BMI was a barrier to treatment as where I live here in the UK there’s a cap, even paying for it privately. It took me a long time to fight my body in to submission to get below the required weight and it’s been a hellish journey for many reasons.

If this round fails, as we have no frozen embryos we’d have to pay for another full cycle and I’m not sure we can swing it financially.

All my eggs in one proverbial basket!

Anyway, I see a faint line and I know there are about a million things standing between us today and a healthy baby, but it’s promising!

Hello, hoping this is your time…it doesn’t look like a faint line for only 7 days post transfer- I never tested early because I was afraid I wouldn’t get a definite line but that is a nice one.
After your blood test on Friday you could get another one on Monday to see how things are progressing.

Didn’t take long to become obsessed 😳 and I’ve tested every day.. It’s all still positive but I can’t wait for Friday when there will be a more definitive answer…

@Hope19888 This looks great. The digital test was probably not an early detection. But you are pregnant. Congratulations
