Different testing days

[Ro5ie]

Ive just been reading about when people test and it seems to be all clinics give different times, ive read for a 5 day transfer its 10 days and 11 for a 3. Just seeing what others were told? Im 10 days past tmrw but was given 11 days so confused as had a double blastocyst transfer xx

I think clinics all seem to work a bit differently. My clinic alway give the 14 days regardless of a 3 day or 5 day transfer. I think technically the 5 day transfer should show from around 9 days and even sometimes earlier and the 3 day a bit later. This is a handy little page to read which explains a bit more in depth.xx

Thank you I will have a look xx

Mines 11 days after as it was a 5 day transfer xx

Mine has also said only 1 HCG test at 14 days past 5 day transfer.

I think different clinics do different things. Fingers firmly crossed for you xx

Thank u ive got a very strong positive so feel daft cos im pregnant but have to wait to speak with clinic till its official my partner was like are we pregnant then and he was like just ring them lol xx

[Tugsgirl]

To test on day 11 with my fet but I think it was slightly longer with my fresh x

[Ro5ie in reply to Tugsgirl]

Ahh ok i started getting a very faint positive 4 days past transfer and its a lot stronger now im 9dp a double transfer xx

[emu2016]

I had days 12 & 14! And no blood test just HPT. They're all so different xx

[Ro5ie in reply to emu2016]

Yea mine dont do blood tests just said to test at home xx

[emu2016 in reply to Ro5ie]

Where are you based? I'm sure it's a northern thing! haha x

[Ro5ie in reply to emu2016]

Im near tamworth staffordshire xx

[emu2016 in reply to Ro5ie]

Well that foiled my theory! 😂

[Ro5ie in reply to emu2016]

Haha my clinic is in coventry which is an hour away im over that way tmrw but dont think they will let me go in a day early as need to collect more pessaries xx

[emu2016 in reply to Ro5ie]

I'm going to run out of pessaries too :/ and the drugs company haven't called me yet. Hoping they'll call me tomorrow so I get them by Thursday/Friday! 🙈 xx

[Ro5ie in reply to emu2016]

Hopefully u will get them in time ive got enough to last till thurs morning and i usually go Asda for my meds as they cheaper and they take 2 days to get them in so the clinic havent planned it well as i will run out Im gonna call them up tmrw and see what they say xx

[Hidden in reply to emu2016]

Hey, was just reading through this - and I am quite sure your GP should be able to prescribe more pessaries if its just progesterone. Mine did, and i wasn't charged. That was the only contribution i had from the NHS.

[Ro5ie in reply to Hidden]

Oh i didnt know that im usually exempt from paying for medication due to hyperthyroidism but the clinic said cos its fertility i have to pay xx

[Heelsandhunters84 in reply to Hidden]

Same here. My gp are really supportive of ivf. Xx

[emu2016 in reply to Heelsandhunters84]

I might have to try this if I don't get anywhere! Thanks! x

[Ro5ie in reply to Hidden]

I spoke to my clinic this morning they said i cant get them from a doctor as im a self funded patient and it has to be from them cos its ivf they wasnt much help tbh xx

[Hidden in reply to Ro5ie]

Oh that's terrible but you could ask the Dr reception, just say you ran out and the clinic won't get them in time from clinic... worth a try. I was also completely self funded. The NHS just gave me a few weeks worth of top ups. I don't think its expansive so it may be easier to go through the clinic but there is no harm asking the Dr.

[Hidden]

i was 12 days (5dt), isn't it something to do with the trigger shot - that they don't like you testing earlier? I can't remember but sure there was a good reason for it.

Oh and GP should be able to prescribe more pessaries, mine did.

[Ro5ie in reply to Hidden]

I think so i was told the trigger can be in the system for upto 14 days i did mine 17 days ago xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to Hidden]

My last one was a fet so no trigger shot and test was 11 days later. It's odd how clinics seem to differ xx

[Ro5ie in reply to Tugsgirl]

Yea seems strange how its 11 days with or without trigger xx

[Gueritarubia]

I think it also depends if it's a urine test or blood test. You can detect earlier in blood. Mine was a blood test, 11 days after a 5-day blast transfer.

[Tugsgirl in reply to Gueritarubia]

My clinic only give you a hpt x

[72cloud9]

I had 5 day blasts and last time They said 9 days with blood test but as I want to do home test this time they said 11 days.

Best of luck!! xxx
