I'm going mad!!!

[Gem11]

I'm 6days post my 5 day transfer, do u think it would be accurate if I took a test now??

To be honest I would wait for your blood test . I know you really want to know but they do say home tests aren't 100%. Good luck 😘

The 2ww is just awful isn't it (no experience of IVF but have done a lot of 2ww over the years weve been TTC) Feel your pain! Can imagine having gone through IVF must be even worse! Im not sure if the HCG should have left your system- other ladies on here will know the answer to that question. Its up you- don't be too disheartened if it's a negative. Some ladies get an early positive but some don't get a positive until test day. It is still very early days. If you think it would upset you seeing a negative and make you feel worse don't do it. If you can accept it might be too soon to see a positive without upsetting you too much ( personally I think that's asking the impossible of anyone going through this process). Good luck xoxo hope you get a positive test xoxo

I'd wait til tomorrow and use an FRER. And don't be too disappointed if its negative as it could still change over the next day or 2.

Try searching #6dp5dt etc on insta and you'll see what peoples test progression looks like... or don't! It's what I did and I don't regret early testing as I got used to the negative slowly rather than a shock in OTD. But I hope for you it's a lovely BFP 😊🍀🤞🏼

I wouldn't Honey. I think it will cause you more anxiety either way. I didn't test early but I knew it hadn't worked. My symptoms slowed down towards the end and it just didn't feel right so in my heart I knew. So what I'm trying to say is that I don't think it gives much benefit testing early. Try to do something else to take your mind off of it. Sending a big hug. Xxx

[Gem11 in reply to _MrsC]

I'm worried cus I have no symptoms at all x

[Hidden]

I'm also 6dp3dt and slowly going insane. I managed to get a sick note from my doctor for 2 weeks as I didn't feel like I could handle being at work. I'm kind of regretting it now, but my OH thinks it's for the best as my job is pretty stressful.

I've thought about testing early but decided against it. My Beta is on Monday am and I'll get the results on the Monday pm. I'm going to do a home test myself on the Monday am to prepare myself. I'll be alone when I get that phonecall from the clinic as my OH will be at work, so I feel that if I've done a test beforehand I'll be with my partner and we can read the results together.

How has your 2ww been so far? X

[Shannon1400 in reply to Hidden]

How did you manage to get a sick note? Did u get it from your doctor or hospital? What did u say to them to make them give you one? X

[Hidden in reply to Shannon1400]

Hi Shannon,

I went to see my GP. I explained that I had a really stressful job and that this was my only chance at IVF so I really needed to relax and do everything I could to put myself in the best position. Then I broke into tears, I think the realisation set in hearing myself say the words.

He was great and gave me a fit note for two weeks. He said I also needed time off incase things didn't go my way. So I'll have had 3 weeks off altogether.

My clinic told me most GP's are pretty good and sympathetic towards IVF.

I hope yours is! X

[Shannon1400 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much for the info. Fingers crossed for you. I really hope from the bottom of my heart that you get the positive you deserve xxx

[Hidden in reply to Shannon1400]

Thank you. And the same to you. I've just read your story, wow you really do deserve some luck. I wish you every success and send my positive thoughts and love xx

Hi Gem11 I'm 7dp5dt, I'm holding out till next week when I'm sure the test will be accurate. It's up to you if you test but I think you'll only cause yourself worry if it's too early to be accurate. I've waited years to get to this stage so another week doesn't bother me xxx

[cls37]

Hi, as I'm reading people's posts I'm starting to think the same about testing but want to hold out to my OTD - it's my boyfriends birthday so will either be crying or smiling!! It's so frustrating isn't it, we now have no control at all. I'm so so stressed at work that I can't see this working after all of the hard work at the beginning with injections etc! That seems like a breeze now looking back. I'm holding out until my OTD!!!!!!! Xxx

[Mrsgled1982]

Hiya

Don't do it. I tested on Monday 6dp5dt and I got a bfn. My otd isn't until Sunday.

I felt like crap after I tested early, no need to put extra stress on yourself in a very stressful situation x

[nikki85xx]

Defo no how ur Feeling. I'm going mad too. I'm only 4dp3dt with 2 embryos transferred. I'm feel so nauseous, also have cramping, lower back pain and boobs a little sensitive. I no these symptoms are due to the progesterone. But it's driving me mad and can't stop google 😬😬😬

[lauren3189]

good luck ladies i know the wait must be awful x

[Alice_W123]

Nooo!

Don`t do this!!

Seriously, it won`t be accurate and in case of BFN your mood would be drastically decreased.

P.S.: if you can`t handle it - test once per 2 days until scan.

P.P.S.: beware, chances of false result is still big, but the closer you are (until scan) the less they will be.

Try to find some kind of activity to occupy yourself.

Knitting

[-noodles- in reply to Alice_W123]

totally feel your pain - i am 9dp5dt & feel like i just need to know one way or the other!

i've had occasional cramps & tiredness, but that's about it - worried about lack of symptoms.

i know 2ww is hideous, but try to wait a few more days & stay positive. sending sunshine vibes your way 🌞

[Lilli79 in reply to Alice_W123]

Yep for definite! (to the knitting that is) Bake a cake, watch a good movie, read a good book, meditate.....the list is endless. Or make yourself feel really positive and design your baby room! I'm keeping myself busy so finding it quite easy to not think about it. But I do work part-time so that takes up half the day xx

[Alice_W123]

Survived it in the past.

It was so damn hard I think I`d go crazy. BFP and then mc, 8th week...

In period of 2ww knotting saved me.

P.S.: forget about it until now. Using it to relax, before new attempts.

P.P.S.: also need to recover health.

Hi! I would not do it. I just did a FET on 6/29. Didn't know I could take a test early to see until I read online and literally took one every day starting at day 6. My HCG test was on Monday and was negative. Right along with all the pregnancy test I took. So initially the test was correct but I wish I would've waited. The 2ww is hell but testing everyday not knowing if the test was right or wrong if I did something wrong etc was wayyyyyy more stressful. Good luck!!!!

[Laulau34]

I tested day from day 7 first cycle and got a positive from day 9. Unfortunatley it resulted in an ectopic.

I did the same this time but it hasn't been successful.

Good luck.

[Tw1986]

Hi Hun I tested very early but I wish I hadn't because when test day actually came it wasn't the same basically if you get a positive you'll be excited but thinking I won't get excited cause it may change, well that's what I thought anyway, it takes the shock and happiness away cause you will prob test everyday till official test day and if you do get a negative you will loose hope straight away and ruin your vibe when you may get a positive in a few days I hope this makes sense xx

[Gem11]

It does , thanks xx
