Test day tomorrow -Terrified of taking it!

[Laceygirl]

Tomorrow is the end of my 2WW from my first cycle of IVF. Everything went well, follicles stimulated well, 12 eggs collected, 4 frozen and one transferred for fresh cooking and tomorrow I am due to do pregnancy test and I am absolutely terrified. I am going to wait for OH to get home and then do the test as feel really superstitious that every pregnancy test I have ever done (feels like hundreds over the years - TTC 4 yrs) has had wrong result. I’ve written list of pros if it fails, questions to ask doc when we go back to try and prepare myself for failure but I just feel terrified. OH is away tonight because of work and back tomorrow- don’t know whether to do the test tomorrow night or if we should wait until Thursday morning for a clearer result?!? Any advice /opinions on that would be appreciated please? Would also really appreciate any tips or advice anyone has for helping to cope with a failed cycle - thought I was quite relaxed about it all right up until about an hour ago and now can’t stop bawling for fear of failure - think i’ve Just been bottling it up...... how on earth do you ladies cope with doing this time and time again- you have all my respect, I am a total wimp. Will def do it again, but have so much more respect for the process now.....

I was the exact same was dreading it as I kept thinking of the dreaded 1 line results for the last few years !! I done my 1st thing in morning with a first response and got a nice clear positive but I think it says as long as u haven’t drank excessively within 4hrs should be fine !! Good luck keep us posted x

Thank you for your reply! This is such a lonely thing to go through in so many ways so really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me! Also good to hear of success stories - gives me hope! Xxx

Do you have any symptoms? Are you taking any supplements? On my failed ivf attempts I bled before test date - at the time my period would usually appear.

Your first wee of the day is the most likely to have strongest result so I would wait until Thursday morning if you can. It's hard enough waiting for 2 weeks. This time around I couldn't wait that long! Well done so far, keep thinking positive thoughts and wishing you all the best for when you test xxx

[Laceygirl in reply to Hidden]

Not really sure on symptoms as have felt like I felt ‘different’ so many times before when I wasn’t pregnant, that think I pyschosymatically generated unreal symptoms so don’t trust my body. Am doing the pessaries and taking the pregnacare aupplements. I haven’t started bleeding yet, but again, I would often be a week late for no reason so that doesn’t mean much either..... sorry I sound hopeless! I’d like to think my boobs look and feel bigger and I am completely over emotional, crying at anything and everything but again, I think it’s me just being a fruit cake!! Xx

[Hidden in reply to Laceygirl]

It's totally understandable. Wishing you loads of good luck for tomorrow / Thursday. Keep positive xx

Thank you lovely 😊 much love xx

Could you collect first morning urine in a pot with a lid and test later in the day when hubby is home? Fmu is usually recommend for the most reliable results. Good luck xx

[Laceygirl in reply to Tugsgirl]

Ooh that’s a good idea- do you think it will still work then? I.e. it doesn’t have to be ‘fresh’ urine? Thanks for the reply! X

[Tugsgirl in reply to Laceygirl]

To be honest I’m not sure but I wouldn’t have thought so... xx

[Lizzielizzielizzie]

You could collect your first morning urine but just not test it till the evening when oh is back? Rather than wait another day?

[Poppy16]

Just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow. Xo

Thank you ashalez! Xx

I like the idea of collecting for testing later together. I was terrified and couldn't look this time, so got my husband to look. He said it was negative and I was so sad as I had such high hopes. Went to look at the test and there were two lines, but he couldn't see as he didn't have his glasses on! So beware!xx

[Laceygirl in reply to precioce]

Oh wow- that’s great that you had a BFP!! Thank you for sharing, that does give me hope and has set me off crying again! I think i’m Just resigning myself to a day of crying today- i’m So over emotional it’s ridiculous! Xx

[precioce in reply to Laceygirl]

Really hope you get a BFP. It's so difficult as you spend the 2 weeks trying to keep distracted and then all of a sudden test day is nearly here and It's what you have been willing to arrive but also utterly terrifying!xx

[Hidden]

Good luck Laceygirl - I hope you get a positive outcome x

Wishing you loads of luck!xx

Good luck Laceygirl. Everything is crossed for you xxx

[Blondyboo]

Id save your morning wee and do it then. Also dont be disheartened if a line doesn't come up straight away leave it for 10 minutes then look at it again. - if you have a late implanter it could be faint at this point and get darker as the days go on

use a first response test boots/superdrug. Cheapys dont show up as well or of course a clear blue digital xx

Good luck!!
