I got a positive a few days ago and ive been testing since 5dp5dt.... however i don't see any progression at all in the last 4 days. Ive tried frer and EAH tests. Has anyone had similar ending in success? I feel like im out this cycle and im devastated as just had a MC in june.

Im in the UK and they don't do betas here and my clinic wont see me until after nov 3rd. So im just stuck spiraling.

All tests done the same time every morning with FMU.

From looking at the photos, I feel like they are getting darker and you’re only a few days past transfer. I didn’t test until 2 weeks later so l would say your tests are quite dark! Wishing you lots of luck x

I think their really good lines for how far past transfer you are. And I deffo think you can see progression.

I didn’t go a test after my transfer and waited for the blood test at the 2 week mark.

I cried, thanks for this. Ive had nothing but 3 losses in the 2 1/2 years ive been trying. I cant help but compare myself to other people and I only see bad news when as light as mine. I'll keep hoping 🙏

I wish they offered betas where I am, at least id know. My miscarriage showed much better progression then this, im meant to be 13dpo and it was quite dark on EAH at this point. Fingers crossed for the next week.

Thank you. I was so happy on Saturday as the frer seemed pretty strong, but it got a little lighter yesterday and back to what it was 4 days ago today. I think its the lack of progression worrying me.

It’s such early days at the moment. Many women don’t get a positive until at least two weeks post conception. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Try to stay calm. I know it’s hard but as I said previously it’s such early days and many women don’t even get a positive at this point . Still crossing fingers all will be okay

I think the lines look good! My clinic offers a beta so I might be the only one who didn't test at home after transfer. I just couldn't face it. 😀 but if you want a beta they can be done privately, the one linked below is reasonably priced. You could buy two and test two days apart, but if that shows a good trend then I would put the tests away for your own sanity. Good luck!!!

I suggest testing every other day. My children are IVF and I am currently 3dp5dt. 😵‍💫 I will be honest I have had very strong tests and still miscarried so you just have to have faith and not worry about the strength of it.

I think ive left it a bit late now, but I have a scan on the 9th november, I think im just gonna hold out for that now. I was super tempted by testing myself tho. My home tests arent getting lighter so fingers crossed its ok.

Ive definitely started comparing all my tests 2 days apart now and they are showing a small progress so ill take it as a win. They do look very similar to my miscarriage earlier in the year, but every pregnancy is different so doesnt worry me.

Ohh are you going to wait for betas or test?
