Testing after blastocyst transfer

Hi ladies

Haven’t been on here for a while as I’ve been recovering from the miscarriage we had with our first transfer.

I decided to go for it again this month and had a 5 day frozen blastocyst transfer on the 30th.

I was told to test on the 9th but it got the better of me and I started testing yesterday, the 5th (6days Post 5 day transfer).

I used a clear blue digital which clearly told me ‘not pregnant’ and I tried again today and it said the same.

It was a natural cycle so no medication at all. But I’ve had hormonal headaches for 5 days constantly, I feel nauseous on and off through the day and I had very very light bleeding 5 days after the transfer.

I think my body much be playing some cruel tricks on me as I’ve given up hope now. I know I should have waited until Thursday but it won’t make that much difference will it?

Anyone else in a similar situation? I feel deflated xx

Hey sweets

I'm so sorry to have your loss. Well done for trying again.

But Oh dear it looks like a few of us have got ahead of ourselves today including me. I had a FET on the 30th and I have tested today. Like you I have got a BFN! There's also another post by someone who has done the same and she's got a BFN. I've no idea what made me test but I wish I hadn't. All of the information I have read has said it's too early. The HCG wont be in our blood yet. Although I'm feeling deflated and had a few tears. I'm just hoping against hope it is too early. Sending you a big hug xx

Thanks hun. I've got everything crossed for us all too. We're in the same boat. Mine was a 5day frozen transfer on the 30th. The only difference was mine was changed to a medicated FET. My OTD is Wednesday. So 9dp5dt. I've read so much information that says HCG will only just be entering the blood system and you can do tests from day 9. Xxx

And to you too. I’ll cross my fingers for us all. Did you have a 3 or 5 day transfer? When did they tell you to test? I wish I hadn’t tested too, it’s just making my week unbearable x

So sorry for your loss, it’s still early so try and hold out until OTD. I’ve read a lot of stories where people have tested early and then gone on to have BFP so don’t lose hope yet x

Thank you. You guys are getting me through these next few days. It’s so hard as I just think maybe if I consider myself out this time then it’ll be less painful Thursday x

The digital test won't be all that sensitive. Try a FRER but remember it's still early days x

I’m being think but what’s a FRER? Thanks xx

First response early response. They are more sensitive than a normal first response etc. For digital tests HcG level has to be much higher to pick up. I remember firs cycle I got a bfp on FR and negative digital. I ended up smashing it open as I read somewhere about 2 lines on the paper inside being a positive but not enough HcG to display on screen. Desperate times and all that x
