Too soon to test??

[Spongy]

Hi everyone....

So I had my ET last Monday and am desperate to test. However I am

Worried about how I will cope if it's negative until official test day? It will mean I have to keep having my progesterone injections even when I feel it has failed.

What would you all do? My official test day is Friday xx

Try to wait spongy. I know it's really really hard but, if you have a negative test it could be false and you may end up upsetting yourself for no reason! Try to keep busy. Take it one day at a time.

My hubby wouldn't let me test early so was good at holding me back! He was even worried when I woke at 4.37am on my OTD that it might still be too soon!

Good luck! x

Thank you so much.

My hubby has now hidden the tests. I decided in the end that if it's negative I only want to see it once.

This is so incredibly hard.

Thanks for the support. Hope all is good with you!

Sounds like you have a supportive hubby!

[Spongy]

Oh I do. He is so good.

I just need to find my patience. It's so hard when you feel it's all over. I just want to know

If it's causing you a lot of anxiety, you could think about testing early with first urine of the day. I tested 4 days before official test date - it was a Friday and I was going away for the weekend so I felt I just had to know. I made sure it was 14 days after ec, as this would be 4 weeks pregnant which is when you would normally test if not doing IVF. The hCG from the trigger shot would be gone too so it shouldn't be false positive. I used the clearblue digital so I could match up the dates.

You have no reason right now to think it hasn't worked, this is what I keep telling myself even now as I wait for my scan.

Best of luck with it, I really hope you get your bfp!

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

I think I will be best to try and wait until my husband can be with me. I know that I will be very depressed and will need someone with me.

This is just so hard!!!

Try and enjoy this time... You've waited so long for your bfp and you truly deserve it. I can't imagine how hard it is but try and think how far you've come already x

Ah, yes, having hubby there makes a difference. This is partly why I did it early, because I knew I'd be away on official test date.

Thanks for your kind words, feel like I've been through a lot alright but everyone one here has their own journey and it's not easy for anyone going through this. Best thing we can do is stay positive and take it day by day. x

[Spongy in reply to Tlove]

I completely agree. We all have to support each other too. Only when you've been through this can you begin to understand just how hard it is xx

Hey Spongy, how are doing today? Did you resist hunting for the hidden tests? 😊
