Line progression after IVF - can be hopeful?

[Factualmistakes]

Am I allowed to be hopeful at these tests? From 5dp5dt to 8dp5dt. I felt pretty nauseous the past few days so couldn't help myself from taking a test. OTD is Saturday. I haven't told my husband - is it safe to tell him and risk getting his hopes up? Never had a bfp before and just gone through ICSI. Trigger shot was done 15 days ago.

Yes, congratulations!

It’s such early days, so I understand the need for caution, but I would say you absolutely can be hopeful at those tests! Congratulations

Thank you both. I showed my husband this afternoon. We are both now feeling cautiously hopeful. After two years of TTC and never having seen a bfp, I am not sure I actually believe what I am seeing with my own eyes. Fingers crossed the progression continues and my little blasto sticks!

@Factualmistakes definitely a good progression! Do you have any FRERs? They’ll be more sensitive so give you a “better line”. These are my 7-10dp5dt, they develop a lot of the next few days - congratulations x

I only have 2 FRERs which I was saving for my OTD. I do have a 2 pack of another brand though and I intend on testing with one of those tomorrow (and my cheapie) to see if the line is better.

I tested with a different brand today along with my cheapie and there was definitely a second line. The line on my cheapie was thicker/darker too. No dye stealer yet but I'm getting more hopeful as the days go on that this might not be a dream!

It’s positive! Congratulations 🥳

Massive congrats! I know how you feel and hoping to be there soon...transfer on Thursday for me. Got everything crossed it goes well for you from here
