Is it positive?

[HighflyingUnicorn]

Hi.
I’m currently only 4 days after embryo transfer.
I took a pregnancy test this morning, and I think I can see a very very faint line.
what do you guys think? It’s obviously very early days still. ☺️
thanks for your input. 🥰

@Ilovebees today was a nerve wrecking day!
went to do my blood test, and got the call recently to say that my hCG value is 288 🤩
she seemed really happy (their cutoff is 100)
how are you getting on?

@HighflyingUnicorn hello !! Wow 288 hcg number this is amazing isn’t it !!! I’m so happy for you to have such a great number for your first blood draw ! And your tests look great again ! Everyday they get better !
I just collected my medicine up for the next 3 weeks until my first scan , my scan is on the 5th of November . At 7+5 weeks .
I would be on the medicine for 12 weeks if all goes to plan .
if scan is well then I’ll get the remaining medicine to last till 12 weeks . I hope you are feeling good and keeping positive ! X

My tests today 😄

@Ilovebees omg! We’re gonna be scan twins! Mine is on the 5th of November too! I absolutely cannot wait!
I’m on the medicine until 12 weeks as well ☺️
wow, your lines are just as dark as the control lines now! That’s so exciting!
are you gonna keep testing every day or are you gonna start spreading it out a bit?

@HighflyingUnicorn wow can’t belive we were trasfer twins and now scan twins omg how exiting ,just imagine 🤗I hope be both get amazing scans on that day ! We could have babies on the same day too 😂 crazy , and I always say I won’t test every single day but I always seem to fail at that and do it anyways , I think I’ll stop in few days once the lines get darker than the control lines , won’t be any point testing after that x ! Can’t wait for our scans yay 😍

@HighflyingUnicorn our little embabies are so comfy inside us :)

@Ilovebees haha I know! Funny coincidences, long may it continue ☺️
did another test this morning, definitely getting a bit darker now. I’m with you on this, I want to see the line get darker than the control line 🙈
how’re you feeling? Any symptoms yet?

@HighflyingUnicorn hey lovely ! I am 4+6 days today ! I don’t have any symptoms no , but I did have some mild period cramps sensations yesterday and some days I have tender breast which come and go .
I have decided to stop testing now on these cheap pregnancy tests as I read on internet that you will not get a dye stealer on these tests , they only go as dark as control line and that’s it , so no point in testing with these anymore . I did my last ones today and they seem very dark so I’m happy with that ! How are you doing honey ? Hope all is well on your side ! You must be 4+5 today , how exiting !

Todays tests

@Ilovebees Aww I took your advice and haven’t tested today. I tested yesterday and the line was just as dark as the control line, so seems pointless to keep testing every day ☺️
I've found this blood test you can do from 6 weeks pregnant where you can find out if it’s a boy or a girl… I’m really tempted!
are you gonna want to find out the sex of your little one? Or are you waiting till birth?

Trigger warning

@Ilovebees
I’m so nervous.
on Friday & Saturday I had some cramping and bleeding. Not a huge amount, but feels very scary.
it would’ve been exactly 21 days (15dp6dt) on Friday, and today I’m 17dp6dt (23 days), I just did a clear blue test today which showed 3+ so I’m hoping that’s sort of good news!
I won’t know until I’ve had some testing done. I really really hope I haven’t miscarried..

I hope you’re doing well still!

@HighflyingUnicorn omg oh noooo !
well , today I woke up to come bleeding too , red , 😫what the hell ! Fuck

@HighflyingUnicorn my digital is also 3+ but today woke up to some red bleeding on toilet tissue , no cramps so far ! I bet the progesterone is keeping the bleeding away and if I wasn’t on progesterone I’d bleed a lot more ! I have to see how the bleeding progresses from today to next few days ! I’m not even going to bother ringing the clinic , nothing they can do I’m only 5+4 , I’ll just wait it out and have a private scan about 6 weeks if I don’t lose it by then .

@HighflyingUnicorn how are you doing ? What was your blood like ? Was it red and how it is now ? Has it slowed down ?! X

@Ilovebees oh no hun! I’m so sorry 😞
I hope it stops soon for you!
my bleeding has completely stopped. I had a little bit of red blood on Friday, followed by some brown blood. Then just tiny spots of red blood on Saturday when wiping. Nothing yesterday or today so far.
it all happened after sex for us. I’m going in to the clinic today for a chat, a scan and a blood test. They’ve been honest and said it might be too early to tell, but I feel like I need to do something..
I’m so sorry it’s happening for you too. I’ve read it’s fairly common to have some bleeding though. So keeping all fingers crossed for us!

@HighflyingUnicorn thank you ! And I hope you get some answers today ! I’m so glad bleeding has stopped for you , I hope it goes the same way for me , I just now have to wait and see if it stops or gets worse as mine only just started so it’s agonising wait for me . It could get worse overnight tonight or it could settle ! I am always expecting the worse when I see red blood :( but if this pregnancy fails I will stop ivf all together and never again . I just can’t put myself through it mentally anymore as Iv had 3 trasfers and that means 2 losses and 1 didn’t implant . So I can’t do it anymore after that . X

@Ilovebees aww I feel your pain! 😔
try to stay as positive as you can. I can’t comment on what to do next, but I can relate to the mental health side of it all, it’s brutal.
I know people who’ve tried many many times, and it finally worked for them, so it can be done, but is a really tough journey. Physically and mentally.. sending lots of hugs!

@Ilovebees
so by the looks of it, I had a small haemorrhage next the gestational sac, it’s what caused the bleeding. My hCG levels are rising appropriately so I haven’t miscarried. But clearly, there’s still a lot that can go wrong still.
It might be the same for you, fingers crossed 🤞

@HighflyingUnicorn thank you so much for your update ! I’m so glad for you ! Did you see much on your scan ? X

@Ilovebees no not much at all. Just the gestational sac. It has a strong wall apparently.
but no yolk or fetus yet. I’ve got another scan booked next week, so the hope is for all of that to be present then… something new to worry about! 😅

@HighflyingUnicorn praying for you that all will be there for your next scan ! Strong wall - at least something good :) are you currently still spotting to bleeding or did that stop now ?
I had this small reddish bleed this morning but I haven’t had nothing since , just light brown spotting . Strange ! But I’m guessing it could all blow up tonight or tomorrow instead of staying as just brown spotting . X

@Ilovebees no, no spotting since Saturday afternoon. Hopefully it stays that way.
I hope the spotting is over for you too now! I hope my experiences has been somewhat helpful for you, it’s always good to know you’re not alone.
keep me updated ☺️

@HighflyingUnicorn thank you so much , and yes your advice has been very helpful so thank you xx will keep you updated ofcourse ! See what tomorrow brings :/ hopefully it won’t come back to red blood and goes away by tomorrow . Only time will tell :(

@Ilovebees hey how’re you doing?
did the bleeding stop? ☺️

@HighflyingUnicorn hey thanks for checking in ! Well when I had that spotting few days ago , it stopped for the next 2 days , and then I had exactly the same spotting again when I woke up on the 3rd day , but it’s disappeared again for the last 2 days ! So weird ! It’s only tiny bit of spotting when I wiped , more like darkish red it was . Not bright red . So I don’t know what to think . I’m looking to book a scan on Monday when I’ll be 6+4 and see what’s happening , a private scan . My ivf scan is at 7+5 but I’d like to see what’s happening earlier really . Hope you are all okay ? Have you had any spotting again?? Do you have any symptoms ? X
