BFN 4DP5DT (silly I know)

Ttcbabymcg profile image
67 Replies

Hey everyone!

Ok I KNOW I tested to early. I even told myself before hand, if it’s negative it, don’t take it to heart as it’s to early (I tested 4dp4dt). I had a frozen transfer. (But told myself as it had assisted hatching it would implant quicker).

It was a silly thing to do, as I feel AWFUL, and sick with sadness.

Please can I have some inspiration

Thank you xxxx

Hi,

I’m 3DP5DT, also frozen so I completely get how you’re feeling. You so desperately want to test!

Don’t be disheartened that’s it not positive though, it’s really early! The earliest I’ve seen people getting the faintest lines is 5/6 days after but even then it could still be negative.

Hang on in there! 😘

Thank you!!! I totally told myself to expect the TWW to be difficult, but this is harder than I ever imagined! I was shaking doing the pregnancy test, and I have just made things worse for myself.

It’s a vicious circle, I want to test to make myself feel better, but know I may be making myself way worse!

I have had mild period cramps ever since transfer, I don’t usually get this before a period, but pretty sure it can’t be implantation, as it has been pretty constant for t days now (granted it gets worse for a tiny bit then fades)

How are you doing x

Don’t worry, the TWW drives everyone crazy! I’m on a high dose of progesterone and my boobs are killing me 😭 I know it’s just a side effect of that though. Other than that, a little crampy but not too bad. Going to try and hold out until end of the week to test 🤪

When’s your OTD?

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to KiboXX

Yes I will deff hold out now! As I am to scared of another BFN. I am also on a very high dose. My clinic like readings to be above 100, so I’m on injections, patches, pesseries vaginally and anally 😂. Good luck and please let me know xx

I had a very faint line on 9dpt, and i know if i tested 2 days earlier would've definitely been negative. It's far too early to know, so please don't stress xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Lilac12

Oh wow really? Was this using FRER? How are you doing now xx

Lilac12 profile image
Lilac12 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

No it wasn't a FRER, but i did test with FRER at 10dpt and it came out darker than the tests i was using but still quite faint. By 14dpt it was really dark. But i wish i didn't test early, as seeing a faint line brought on anxieties of its own. I tested a week before my OTD, and i have to tell you, the week leading up to test day felt like a month. I was so stressed and obsessed with seeing the lines getting darker, i started wishing i hadn't tested early. I know it's really really really hard, but the most important thing to do in the 2ww is to try and be stress-free and just take it easy. Do things to keep your mind busy and occupied. Don't stress about seeing a negative, coz it's far too early. X

Ttcbabymcg in reply to Lilac12

Gosh I guess both testing and not testing comes with it’s own stresses unfortunately! I am going to try and hold out until at leas two days before otd (my clinic is 14 days after). I honestly don’t know how I’m going to cope. Good luck xx

Hey ttcbabymcg, the 2ww is so tough and it’s completely normal to want to test, even if you know it’s too early you still hope.

Annoyingly once testing the uncertainty doesn’t seem to end: you either get a negative and question everything even though you know you shouldn’t have tested OR you get a positive and then panic about how dark the line is or isn’t day to day.

It’s hard, but as you know on 4dp5dt there wouldn’t be hcg yet but it still will hurt seeing a negative test, even if you know why it’s negative. If you can I would encourage you to leave testing for as long as you can. Last cycle I had a negative on 5dp5dt, was admitted to a&e with late onset ohss the next day however still didn’t get a urine test positive until 8dp5dt even though my blood showed hcg on 6dp5dt.

Wishing you lots of luck ♥️ X

Ttcbabymcg in reply to MrsH86

Thank you so much for your lovely msg. I even sit here telling ppl 4 days is to early... but don’t listen to my own advice NOOO of course not lol!

I hope your feeling better, I can’t imagine how that extra strain effected you!

I have also told myself it was a frozen transfer so may even take a little longer. It’s just typical we listen and focus on the rare stories of ppl impacting v early, but not the other trend of late impanters 😂. Us women hey 😂. How are you know xx

MrsH86 profile image
MrsH86 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Ha ha I’m exactly the same 😂 I guess it’s just because we care so much about the outcome. I’m actually also in the tww myself just now 8dp5dt so I’m symptom spotting whilst trying to tell myself not to 🙈.

Fingers crossed your OTD brings good news 🤞♥️ x

Have you tested yet hun? All the best and thinking of you xx

MrsH86 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Aww thank you, today is OTD so did a hpt before I went to get my bloods done - looks positive but want to know the beta hcg numbers 🙈🤞. How are you getting on? Is it your OTD soon? X

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to MrsH86

Oh exciting!!!!! Please let us know! When do you find out the results xx

MrsH86 profile image
MrsH86 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

I found out this afternoon, it’s a BFP 😁🙈. Happy and terrified 😂 now need to wait for viability scan. When’s your test day? X

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to MrsH86

Oh congratulations!!!!!!! My otd is Monday! Not sure when to test 🤢

MrsH86 profile image
MrsH86 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

I know it’s a tough one 🙈. I tested yesterday am and today am so that was 9dp5dt and 10dp5dt, my period was due yesterday so thought a day before OTD couldn’t hurt, thankfully it didn’t.🤞 for when you do test, let me know how it goes! ♥️ x

I think it's too early to check like someone said most people get a positive from day 5/6. Fingers crossed, hoping you get a positive soon

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Cici85

Thank you! I even have a table chart that states the embryo doesn’t relase hcg until day 6.... but I still take it to heart. It’s really shaken me up. X

I had an FET and tested I think 5/6dpt had a BFN then on OTD I got a BFP. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the same result good luck 🤞 xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to LHow81

wow....:how many days was that? Did you test inbetween xx

LHow81 profile image
LHow81 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

No I didn’t test again till the OTD I think it was at least a week later.

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to LHow81

Yeah I think I will hold out. My clinic test 14 days later and only if positive. However I wasn’t to at least prepare myself! I really have a feeling it hasn’t worked for me..... I mean I have never in my life been pregnant. So I don’t know what I am meant to feel, but I don’t think I feel “pregnant” lol. All the best hun xx

I used frer test and had a squinter at 5dp5dt I always test early and loved watching the line get darker every morning😬 I have a draw full now from my sons pregnancy that I’ve kept 🙄 good luck to you xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Blondyboo

How often did you test 😂

Blondyboo profile image
Blondyboo in reply to Ttcbabymcg

From 4dp5dt 🙈 until a decent dark line and OTD !

Cici85 profile image
Cici85 in reply to Blondyboo

hi was it a fresh or frozen cycle?

The day of my official test day I got a BFN (it was a Sunday). I went for the blood test the next day. BFP.

Well I'm just feeding the result of that BFP. My miracle was really there after all!

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Muppetgirl

Wow that really is amazinng. How far after transfer was your otd x

Muppetgirl profile image
Muppetgirl in reply to Ttcbabymcg

I think 10 days after a 3 day transfer.

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Muppetgirl

So if I’m correct that’s equivalent to 8 dp5dt? (Sorry I’m new to all this lol) xx

Fingerscrossed38 profile image
Fingerscrossed38

It's not silly or too early to test positive at 4dp5dt. I did and got a bfp. However it's earlier than most people do and you still have plenty of time to get your bfp. At least you know you've tested out the trigger shot and now when you get your bfp you won't be second guessing it! Hang in there 😀

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Fingerscrossed38

Was yours fresh or frozen? X

Fingerscrossed38 profile image
Fingerscrossed38 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

4 days post 5 day transfer = frozen

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Fingerscrossed38

Sorry I’m confused..... I know 4dp5dt means

4 days post 5 day transfer, but it doesn’t confirm if it was a fresh or frozen transfer??? Does it?

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply to Ttcbabymcg

No it doesn’t. A 5 day transfer can be either fresh or frozen 😂

FET means frozen transfer.

Glad I’ve found this post. Had a test on 5-6dp5dt, BFN. So disheartened. Couldn’t even told my husband I did the test. Tuesday is my beta test, I could only pray. I had mild cramp on day 1-2, then absolutely nothing until 3 days ago my boobs started to get fuller but that could be the progesterone, estrogen or pms. Well, let’s see. Wish all of u best pf luck.

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to islwyn

How are you feeling lovely? My transfer was on Monday! My otd is 27th! I don’t want to test that mornign, as want to prepare myself when I speak to clinic, but was to scared to test again! Testing and getting a negative has truly scared me! I was shaking I couldn’t even get the cap on to the test 😂 xxx

HopefulC profile image
HopefulC in reply to islwyn

Hi islwyn, we are on the same timeline. I had a FET with a 5 day blast and got a squinter at day 5. However, I've been drinking a ton of water so I think that diluted the urine. I stopped drinking water for 2 hours and then repeated the preg test last night 8dp5dt and got a faint positive. My understanding is that everyone produces HCG at different rates. Don't lose hope. Looks like we will both have our blood test on Tuesday. I'm sending you positive vibes and wishing you all the luck <3

islwyn profile image
islwyn in reply to HopefulC

Good luck tomorrow! I still don’t dare to test. Maybe will do it tomorrow before blood test.

HopefulC profile image
HopefulC in reply to islwyn

Best of luck to you as well. Sending positive vibes <3

Best of luck to the both of you! Please keep us updated. Xx

HopefulC in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Very happy to say my blood test showed 742 HCG!! I still can't believe it!

islwyn I hope you got some positive news today. If not, hang in there and know that we are all rooting for you.

Mine is a negative. Better luck next time I hope. Congrats :)

This broke my heart today. I'm so sorry. How are you holding up? Was this cycle with donor eggs?

This is ridiculously early to be testing! I tested my frozen transfer at 8dp5dt and only got a very feint bfp. Ignore this. Pretend it didn’t happen. And carry on for another few days and test again. Too early to be sad about a test you had no chance of passing! Not over yet x

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to DC5867

Thank you!!! It’s so silly I KNOW this, and I would be advising ppl exactly what everyone is saying. I just truly never believe it will happen for me, and have nightmares if it happening again! . How many weeks are you know xx

DC5867 profile image
DC5867 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

I totally understand. It’s agony waiting and it’s naturally to think the worst and think it will never happen for you. But I can tell you that I’m certain everyone feels like that. Just keep going along this road and try to keep that at some point you will arrive at your destination, no matter how many twists and turns there are along the way. I was very lucky and my bfp became my little boy who turned 3 this week. So if it can happen for me it can happen for you! Wishing you all the best this week, I hope this is the one for you xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to DC5867

Than you so much! I have a low amh and I had to test as I have a serious genetic neurological disorder, i only ended up with one embryo! Just the thought of the whole process again is agonising. Not the meds etc... but the emotionz/anxiety etc. I can’t imagine ever having a baba 😢

Happy birthday to your boy xx

DC5867 profile image
DC5867 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Remember it only takes one! I have a friend who had quite a variety of issues and her partner and they ended up with just one embryo from only two eggs retrieved, and the embryo turned into a little boy. It does happen! Try not to think about having to do it all again just yet. Just focus on what’s happening now and on looking after yourself and getting through the next few days whatever they may bring xxx

I also tested at 4dpt 5dt and got a BFP but factors vary including when an egg implants. I definitely wouldn’t rule out things changing over the next few days. Good luck...x

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Tiddly1984

Did you end up getting your BFP? If so what day? Xxx

Tiddly1984 profile image
Tiddly1984 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Yes I did. I got a positive test result 4 days after a 5 day transfer, but I think my egg implanted early the day after transfer when I noticed what I believed was implantation bleeding. Not all tests show positives that early and doesn’t mean the outcome won’t be positive. The line was extremely faint but was clearer the following day. x

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Tiddly1984

Wow, bet that made the 2ww more bearable, though I’m sure it comes with its own anxiety (ie, watching the line get darker). Did you have any symptoms in the tww xx

Tiddly1984 profile image
Tiddly1984 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Yes it did. I also had symptoms although wasn’t sure that they were all related at the time. I had Implantation bleeding, hot flushes, pulling sensation in my stomach, mild backache, light headedness, fatigue, pins and needles in my legs and shooting pains in my breasts. It really does vary though and some people experience nothing at all...x

I had a BFN 5dp5dt and I am now 11 weeks pregnant so don't worry at all, just try not to stress and test again in a few days xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image

O wow at what point did you get your BFP. Congratulations! I so pray, hope and wish this will be me xx

franathy in reply to Ttcbabymcg

Thanks, I didn't test again until 14dpt as I was absolutely convinced it would be negative! Fingers crossed you get your BFP too xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to franathy

Yeah testing day 4 and getting the negative has petrified me. I think I’ll test day ten next (purely because I want to prepare myself ) can much happen after day ten of you get a negative xx

Kikiwaits profile image

In four pregnancies now I’ve gotten a very very faint positive by the evening of 4dp5dt, but it was easier to see (albeit still very faint) the next day. My HCG is always on the high side (around 1500 when they do blood work at 14dp5dt) so that might have something to do with it. I always got the best results with second morning urine, not FMU, so maybe try that if you test tomorrow.

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Kikiwaits

Thank you!!! I have bladder issues, so I go to the toilet all through the night, so don’t thjnk I can gage by what urine number is which haha. I will just have to try and hold one in for a while, lol. I think as mentioned above I will try day ten. If negative, can much change? X

Sjr1988 profile image
Sjr1988

I tested every day when I had a fresh cycle so I could see the trigger go.... that brought up negative by 4dp5d transfer! I didn't get the slightest faint line again until 8dp5d transfer...... so please dont give up hope xx

Ttcbabymcg profile image
Ttcbabymcg in reply to Sjr1988

O wow really? Was your hcg reading high or low when you have bloods xx

Sjr1988 profile image
Sjr1988 in reply to Ttcbabymcg

The clinic never took my bloods they wait and just do the viability scan however I bled from 5weeks until 14 weeks so we paid a private scan and saw the yolk sac at 5w6d I had 6 scans up to 20 weeks because I was so scared xx
