I am a nervous wreck!

[LetstalkaboutBruno]

Hi ladies,

I apologise if this post is incredibly long. I am a bit go an anxious mess at this moment in time.

I am on my fourth IVF transfer (all four were frozen) and I am 11DP5DT today. I have been testing since about 6DP5DT (early, I know - please no pick up points about that) but I have been getting positive lines on many brands. I have stuck to FRER and Easy@Home tests for all four of my transfers as found that they work best for me. Now, I have been getting faint positives for days on a FRER, but certainly there. They are there within the timeframe, clear pink IRL and they're not going away... but they're not progressing also?! I have been using the E@H for the same amount of time, and they are progressing and getting darker every 48 hours. I tested an Easy@Home in water, it was completely stark white - BFN, so I am pretty confident that I don't have faulty tests. So I am not even sure at this point whether I am pregnant or not!

Other things I have noticed are very likely attributed to the medication (progesterone and estrogen) and I am trying to not read into them. I have been feeling incredibly nauseous after taking my supplements though, which has been the past few days and this has never happened before. So my brain is telling me it's a symptom!

I am trying so hard to relax and "enjoy" that I am pregnant, and to go with the flow. On the other hand, I then see peoples FRER progress pics and it triggers the anxiety around why mine aren't doing the same.

Yesterday a digital test said "not pregnant"

Background: First transfer ended up in a MC. Second was a BFN. Third was a possible CP (continuous faint lines, but far less obvious than this round). So I am a bit anxious.

Does anyone have any insight? I'm so lost at what to do.

Ps; I know I just have to wait. I just really struggle with the wait.

When is your clinic test day?

Digital tests often don't show up this early. I know it's horrible but it may be a good idea to hold off from testing for a couple of days as that will give you a better idea of progression etc.

@Cakecakecheese thank you, it’s tomorrow. So I’ll retest again tomorrow and then email the clinic I guess. Last time, I had such amazing lines and I know I shouldn’t and can’t compare, but it’s so hard to as that’s all I know.

Thank you for the reply!

Can you post pictures of your frer and easy@home??

Have you tried testing evenings rather than mornings?

I am not familiar with IVF
.. is 11dp5dt means like 16 dpo?

@LetstalkaboutBruno I understand that, it is natural to compare but implantation could have been later this round. Fingers crossed for you.

@SunnySideUp2020 of course side by side comparison. Oldest bottom, newest top

@SunnySideUp2020 then yesterdays tests…

I usually use FRER FMU and E @ H are evening urine. Both tests from yesterday were evening urine.

Regarding translation from DPO - DPT, I don’t believe that they really are comparable. It’s neither the same or different in relation to timeline they’re just individual measurements of timings. I could be wrong though!

@Cakecakecheese thank you ♥️

Ok it is hard to compare.
They are definitely positive but I can see what you mean. They are quite faint still.
Will your clinic do bloods? I think it would be the only way to know what's up.

🤞

@SunnySideUp2020 I am going to ask! It’s just so strange. Especially as they’re all positive. I’d have thought with so little hCG, if a chemical it would have been done by now. But the Easy’s keep getting stronger!

There's definite progression on the strip ones. When I had a chemical I had a faint line at test day which was 11dp5dt, 2 days later the line was fainter and 2 days after that there was no line at all.

@Cakecakecheese thank you for looking. I guess it will just be that time tells what’s happening now! Ugh!

I am sorry for your loss!
