Hey ladies. Been on a wild ride. I am serial tester and was getting light bfps right up until 6dp5dt which must have been trigger as yesterday was totally blank. Now this, is this too light for 8dp5dt? Xxxx

Ohhhhhhhhh gosh! My heart. We have never got this far so celebrating a little right now. When I look online it seems pretty rare to see a bfp this late on a FRER? Xxxx

Well I dont think it's too late. Not everyone gets super early positives so you're defo still in with a chance!! Wishing you luck for progression in a few days. Your test will possibly darken once it dries too - also a serial tester!!xx

Simultaneously jumping for joy and sweating with nerves. The next few days are going to go very slowly. Thanks for your hopefulness. Solidarity to fellow early testers teeeheee xxxx

I can see a faint line there. I don’t think it’s to late, you could have implanted late and I’ve seen FRER positives on here later than 8dp5pt. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼😊xx

Hi Lavender. Thanks for popping along with your encouragement. It is much darker in person too so I have everything bloody crossed. xxx

It looks positive to me. We were advised not to test before 9dp5dt (but I did) and got a BFP with a FRER on 8dp5dt. It should darken every 48hours. Fingers crossed! Xx

That’s what happened to me ❤️ I hope your journey is more successful than mine darling! 🤞🤞🤞

Can you tell me more? I am just so confused and looking for similar experiences really. Xxx

Oh my goodness I know that feeling. The looking for answers. The feeling that at least if something can be learned from this round it wasn’t for nothing... I feel you. I felt the same. My doctor had no answers or suggestions for me and he is one of the leading ones in Aus. Basically he said I can try again or try naturally for a bit if I’m not ready to do another round right away... I was hoping for a silver lining however small and essentially was told there is nothing to learn or to do differently. I think this is almost the hardest part. For weeks I’ve been analysing every walk, every shower... was it too hot? Did I walk to far? Did I not drink enough water? I know logically this isn’t my fault but you can’t help it. I hope you’ve got great support darling, it comes in waves. I’m here if you need ❤️

Yeah this is my fourth transfer so I am just sooooooo done with this. Never even had a sniff of a bfp so safe to say yesterday’s bfp was a surreal moment. I feel like ivf is just such a rough science and you have these outliers who believe there are things that can be changed and then conservative docs who think clinical evidence isn’t enough to put us through new treatments. I don’t knoooow. Got to do my research. Sorry you are travelling through this madness too. It is totally consuming. Xxx

Let me know if you find anything promising! Hopefully you’re one of those stories of magically falling naturally after 4 failed cycles. 🤞

recidwen in reply toKw91

No chance of that. My Fallopian tubes have been isolated from my womb so no natural miracles for me. Xxx

Kw91 in reply torecidwen

💔 how did that happen if you don’t mind me asking? Xxx

recidwen profile image
recidwen in reply toKw91

Well. I had Pid at 17 because of chlamydia so could have been that or could have been endometriosis which they now think I have. Anyway, it blocked my tubes and they were fluid filled and as they think that affects implantation I had to have them treated before o started ivf. They thought this was our only issue so that is why this is all so confusing. Xxx

Oh my goodness, what a roller coaster for you. I have endo and am scheduling in surgery in the hopes that it helps. Lots of people say this has a huge affect on embryo health though there isn’t much info on why so this may be something to look into for you? Unfortunately my AMH is also sitting at 2.6 so it will diminish my reserve even further so this is something to consider if you’re in a similar boat... x

I think surgery with a skilled excision specialist can be really helpful. Do you have it on your ovaries? I have already had two laparoscopies so not sure I can face another one. We do have 9 embryos frozen right now so I think if the next transfer doesn’t work then I will be more willing to go down that route. Have you ever visited a website called ‘healendo’ sooooo many resources on there in terms of how to stop reoccurrence after surgery. It is slow and incredibly exhausting time. Xxxx

Kw91 in reply torecidwen

Oh wow I’ve never heard of it! I will definitely look into that, thank you!!! Yes it is on my left ovary which I guess is why it adds a layer of complication. Wow 9 in the freezer!!! We only had 1 make it and only started with 5 (which is typical of such low AMH levels - I’m 28 wtf...) is the lap surgery as awful as I’ve heard? Xxx

Thanks! Feel pretty numb to be honest. I would say that 2ww don’t get any easier as you start getting up there with transfer numbers but the bfns...I don’t know...so used to them. How do you find it?

Cinderella5 profile image
Cinderella5 in reply torecidwen

Im the same! Although I guess after getting so many negatives then 2 short lived positives we had hoped we were onto something. I dont really get up set anymore its just the massive disappointment and then you just have to get on with it!! Hugs, its hard keeping going but if you can pick yourself up you never know what could happen next time.....that's what I keep telling myself anyway!xx

recidwen in reply toCinderella5

I don’t know if it was easier or harder to see my first positive this cycle?! I respect how strong you are Cinders. I feel totally battered this time, I have to say. Xxxx

Just wait until your OTD , it is still so early, and make sure you are using the first morning urine? . X

I appreciate the sentiment of hope but it isn’t early at this point. I am 9 days past and testing with early response FRER which can pick up on levels from 6 - 12 miu/l so it should definitely be positive now but I will wait till tomorrow just to make sure that I am not a statistical anomaly. Xxx

Not to late, as it’s not 14 days after yet. Mine always faint before period date and even a few days after they were faint x so happy news I hope xx

recidwen in reply toJojoWash

No. Definitely a bfn. Hcg levels should 100% be picked up by a FRER at this point. Thanks though. X
