Can anyone see a second line?
5 days post transfer and thinking I am out 😭

Line eyes- negative?

That first photo was taken after about 2 minutes. I have just looked at the test again after one hour and it looks like this. Could it be a positive or is it likely to be an evaporation line?

Hmm that looks very streaky for after an hour so maybe a slightly funny test? But does look like an early positive (I know they say it doesn’t count after so long but it’s definitely pink not grey) How’s it looking this morning? Are you 6dp5dt? Wouldn’t say you’re out at this stage at all

Thank you, I am 5 days past transfer. I really wish I didnt go back to sleep and waited 10 minutes to see if any line would develop as I do not know how it looked between the 2 minutes and hour. Thank you for your message. I never realised how difficult the wait would be.

It’s really hard, feels like the longest wait of your life. Then when it’s hopefully positive another wait for your scan, then another. But when you’ve gone through ivf you’ve already had so many waits already.

Wasn't sure with the time that you posted but only 5 days then today and if you think of the time your transfer took place probably not even a full 5 days yet.

Don’t worry about yesterday’s test, if it was a true positive then you’re more likely to get one again today. (Or if you want to step back and not test, then yesterdays test was still early enough to not worry about it being negative - 4dp5dt is super early and lots of people don’t get a positive until 5,6,7 days). In my experience as an early tester I’ve found there’s not really a right answer so just do what you think feels right. For me:

  • test early and it’s positive, happy and then anxious about line progression and whether it will stick. Still need to get to otd for it to feel real.
  • test early and it’s negative, to ‘gradually get used to the idea’ but then gutted that it hasn’t worked while not knowing for sure but a tiny bit hopeful that it may still change. Test loads up until test date while slowly trying to accept it hasn’t worked.
  • wait until otd, anxious over not knowing either way, jumping between convincing yourself it’s worked or it hasn’t with no confirmation of either.

Fingers crossed for a positive whenever you decide to test again 🤞

@Coffeechocolatebooks123 hows your test looking now?
I’ve been testing since 4dpt and still getting negative (5dpt) convinced that’s me out, as all the few I’ve done have been completely blank!

It was negative unfortunately. It was negative unfortunately. Back to square one. I hope you had better results.
