Had a positive test at 5dp5dt after 4 cycles of IVF. Testing daily since and I can’t get my progression fears out of my head, I know I shouldn’t even be looking at line progression but I feel like I’ll handle it better if I know a chemical is coming. The fear and anxiety is just overwhelming and I thought I’d be happy to finally get a transfer after 4 cycles just trying to make embryos! 6-10 progression is Amazon cheapy tests and the clear blue is today at 10dpt.

Oh gosh I know exactly how you feel, I didn’t test until the 10 days post transfer as I wanted to just hope and wish it had worked (it did third time😀) but these lines are looking good! I’m really hoping it’s a success for you xx

congratulations, those are great lines.
When I did my round of ivf, I tested twice. Once 5 days before official test day and once on official test day. The lines were virtually the same, not particularly dark. My pregnancy progressed well and I now have a toddler 😀
I decided not to do loads of tests because I was an anxious mess and I knew testing lots and checking for line progression wouldn’t help the anxiety.
Enjoy being pregnant ❤️

Thank you! I wish I’d had the strength to do that! 12dpt today and still getting dark enough lines so I’m tentatively hoping it’s worked.

I said I was going to wait 10–11 days and failed miserably at being patient enough! Still positive today at 12dpt. 🤞
