POLL: OTDs from various clinics

[abcgirl]

I’m curious... what is the official test date given by your clinic?

I’ll start... my clinic told me to test at 15dp5dt

(seems like a long time to wait! 😱)

[Hidden]

That is long! I was 13dp5dt which I thought was long enough!

[Emmad781]

I was told 16dp5dt. But I couldn’t wait and tested by day 9

[Ninirk]

My clinic asked me to test 11dp5dt (16 days from the day after egg collection)

[Blondyboo]

my clinic said 12dp5dt but i tested from 4dp5dt (i know!) and got a faint Bfp 5dp5dt

[KJLee]

I'm also 11dp5dt... testing tomorrow!! Eek!!

[elle80]

14dp5dt. I phoned them on 11dp5dt and got told off, too early apparently. Phoned them again 13dp5dt and spoke to a different nurse and she accepted my positive 😂

[Lilli79]

My first ivf it was 12dpt, 2nd was 14dpt. Not sure why it's not standard across clinics 😕

[Asweetpea]

My clinic said 10dp5dt. Got a BFP! I get confused as we are all told different days. I felt this was early compared to others.

Congrats Asweetpea !! xx

my clinic said beta HCG 10DP5DT - that would be 15 days past retrieval. However I can only do the Beta HCG 13day past transfer ( lab is closed ) maybe being brave enough to do a clearblue at the weekend. until then PUPO !!!!

9dp5dt - so 14 days after egg collection. This is the case with my U.K. clinic (own eggs) and my current clinic in Greece (donor eggs)

[KJLee]

Do we get different timescales because we're all on different dosages etc? x

[elle80 in reply to KJLee]

No I just think some clinics are cruel and just want to prolong the agony of waiting!! Haha. Xx

[KJLee in reply to elle80]

HAHA!! xx

[abcgirl in reply to KJLee]

No i don’t think it has anything to do with that. The only difference would be if clinics do a blood test on OTD which would have lower sensitivity to HCG in the blood versus a urine test. Must just come down to their own clinical experience. Maybe the longer waiting time is just to be absolutely sure.

Hi- I’ve just been told 11dp5dt

I did think that was early as my last one was 14dp I believe.

The longer you leave it I guess the better chance of a truer reading. If you do test early I would use a clear blue digital test also - better to be safe than sorry and test a few days later again if u have a negative.

I've always been told to test 14dp 5dt (FET), although i've always started bleeding before that date!

[silvanti_78 in reply to thejourney]

wouldnt progesterone stop your menses ? or how is that ?

[thejourney in reply to silvanti_78]

the 1st two FET i had subcutaneous Progesterone, on my most recent FET i had progesterone pessaries- on each round i bled by day 10pt
