I’m currently 16dp5dt (5 weeks today) I got my BFP at 8dpt however it was faint, my tests have progressively gotten darker however don’t seem to be as dark as they should be for the timing. I had a miscarriage in March 23 and ectopic in July 23 and most recently lost our angel at 12+4 in July of this year so I’m comparing the tests to that pregnancy.

I can’t help but think this pregnancy isn’t going to be viable😢

Congratulations on your positive! IVF is such a stressful time…

Tests don’t tell you anything beyond the fact you’re pregnant …Although fwiw my tests weren’t that dark and little one is happily kicking away in there at 24+5 days .

You really can't tell from the tests. Can you get your clinic to run a couple of blood tests 48 or so hours apart?

Have you tested with other brands rather than these strip tests? I had these tests and got negs for ages even though first response and clear blue were a clear line. Lots of amazon reviews mention a bad batch of tests so i no longer trust them.

Firstly huge congrats!!!
I haven't been through IVF but before my last pregnancy I did have 3 consecutive miscarriages. When I conceived again I did just one test. Like you I had done test after test with the miscarriages. They don't help - they don't warn you of problems they just cause you more worry. You're pregnant! Please stop testing xx Take one day at a time - everything is crossed for you to have your so wanted baby xx
