IVF OTD faint positive chemical pregnancy
Fox01 · Yesterday 09:53
Hi, I have I am looking to see if anyone has tested positive prior to their OTD and then had a fainter positive on OTD?
I am on progesterone and I have been pretty certain for the past 6 days that my tests have not been improving and I believe it to be a chemical pregnancy. The test today was barely visible and its FRER tests that have been positive.
If I tell the clinic that the test has the slightest positive they will have me continue with the progesterone until after 7wks when I get an early scan. I know that scan will show no viable pregnancy. Then I'd have to stop the progesterone.
Or do I tell the clinic I was positive but test is negative so I can stop the progesterone and let me body deal with it naturally?
Has anyone been in this situation? I believe that the progesterone is preventing my body from bleeding and I just want this to end so we can move on as I know it'll be months until FET.
How long did it take ivfers to bleed after their chemicals?

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear this has happened to you - I had a chemical after ivf last month - my FRER tests stayed at a medium darkness with no progression so I was getting very anxious and had the blood test at the clinic where they said HCG was present but low, and I could come back in 2 days for another blood test, I did one final pregnancy test at home the next day which had gotten lighter so I cancelled and stopped progesterone and my period came back about 4 days later. Hope your ok - CP’s are awful after after all the hard work of ivf.

@AM08 thank you so so so so much for this! This is very helpful! I have stopped my progesterone tonight. My line is more like an indent now so I guess it is just wait and see. How long was your cycle after the chemical and how did your next round(s) go?

@Fox01 My period came back about 4 days after stopping and was pretty normal - now I’m down regulating and near the point of waiting for a period and day 1, so fingers crossed but this time I’m a bit less hopeful (I think because we have no idea what went wrong last time) - will you go straight into another round or FET? Hope your feeling ok!
