Should I Guard My Heart?

[Sunofamum]

Tested since 3dpt. Got a vvfl on 7dpt on an early detection but nothing much has happened since. Being so faint and getting my positive a little later than average (day 5 4aa embryo). I feel in my gut that something isn’t right :/

In so sorry but personally yes I would very much guard my heart in this situation. I've been there and I know how awful this limbo is. I had an OTD of 14dpt (which honestly felt forever) and I started testing at 3dpt. Had a faint positive at 3dpt that got stronger until around 7dpt then stagnated and it was totally gone by 14dpt. It looked fairly similar to yours. I hope this won't be the case for you but I would definitely guard my heart.

These are equivalent to 13-14 dpo? I think it could go either way, but I definitely see some progression. Is it possible to get earlier betas for a definitive number?

you’re right. It’s so frustrating having to keep taking meds when I know how this ends :( I have had countless chemicals before my son, this is the first time we have tried for a second in nearly 3 years and I find it so triggering. Wish we never tried again.

Yes. Equivalent to 13-14dpo, but I didn’t test positive until 12dpo, not sure that makes a difference though. Beta is on Monday. Hoping my tests get lighter from now if it’s a chemical so there won’t be a need for beta and I can stop meds 🥲

I’m hoping it just implanted slightly later 🤞 As you didn’t test positive til 12 dpo effectively. I don’t think my chemical I tested past my period was as dark as your second test. And my second child I tested a few days after my period and the line wasn’t strong either. It’s so tough, and the ambiguity and waiting is awful. I’d almost say just stop testing if you can, and distract yourself as best you can. You’re pregnant now, and squinting at lines and their strength over the next 2-3 days won’t change the outcome.

Statistically, later implantation is more likely to end in a loss. I'm genuinely not trying to be negative, I've just also had loads of losses and find it easier to know the facts and likelihood of success.

I'm finally 27 weeks with an IVF baby who I'm praying will be my firstborn after many losses. I can't even fathom going through all this again, and it's something I'm not sure I'll ever do, so my heart really goes out to you, I can only imagine how triggering it is to go through the process again.

Obviously I do hope I am wrong and this progresses for you. I totally empathise with having to take medication when you feel there isn't a point. This whole process is very difficult, be kind to yourself this weekend x
