Hi people
Sending love to all on the IVF journey. How often are people testing following positive result. Sorry I know it’s strange question. My first scan is on 14th April - at that point I will be 6 weeks exactly. Now 4 and abit. I have not been offered any blood test to see if my Hcg levels are rising. Therefore I’m finding I’m doing a test every 2 days to ensure hcg is in my urine still. It’s seems such a long wait to the 14th
Thanks 😊 xx
Hi there, I wasn't offered bloods either. I think all together I done 3 tests, I wasn't a serial tester. The 14th will be here before you know it 🙂
I was the exact same... I tested every few days to make sure the test wasn’t getting fainter. It’s hard to trust and accept that it has happened to you after so long of waiting and wanting. I’ve got my 20 week scan next week and so far all (as far as I know) is ok.
All the best xx
Wow congratulations 🎉🎊 🎉 to you Thank you xxx
Hello,
This is my first ivf. I’ve had my 5 day embryo transfer on the 24th of this month. I’m 9 days post transfer. Last Saturday( 4 days post transfer ) my boobs stopped beeing sore. I’ve had a bad low back pain the day after ( Sunday 5 days post transfer ). I’ve had my home test yesterday and it was negative. Yesterday night I had very bad cramps and back pain. I’m so worried. Did anyone experienced lost of symptoms and had a positive test
Thank you all I’m getting crazy
Hi I’m currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant, I wasn’t offered bloods either I have my scan on the 9th April.
I took serval test after getting a positive as I couldn’t believe it , I’m hoping to hold of and not take another and just wait for me scan , it’s horrible waiting for the scan good luck xx
It’s upsetting aren’t it especially what we have had to go through, I was thinking of asking to maybe FaceTiming him while I’m in so he fells part of it Hopefully they say it’s fine 🤞🤞 xxx
Yes that’s a really good idea!! I can’t see them having a problem with that. Best of luck hun xxx
Hi Coles,
Congrats on your BFP!
I know the wait for that first scan is torture! I stopped using the line tests because I was driving myself mad with the lines getting darker or not so I just did a clear blue digital with weeks. I did two a week until it showed 3+ and then I stopped testing altogether. Best thing I did! Xx
Thanks for that hun that’s good advice. As it kinda indicates hcg increase.......So just need to find some digital pts lol xx
I’ve been doing the same - testing every other day. I’ve not had any blood tests either and will be having the scan on the 17th April.
I’m currently 5 weeks 4 days pregnant. I didn’t want to book the scan too early.
My clinic told me to book the scan for 3 weeks after.
It is so hard not knowing what’s going on and having to wait like this.
They transferred 2 embryos. And I’ve been having really bad pains for the last week and a half.
Ahhh bless you, I’ve had some pain but suffering constipation so putting it down to that, though occasionally also having mild period like cramps, repeated testing is keeping me relatively sane - I had a good tip to get a couple of digital pt as will let you know how weeks u are - that will offer reassurance on progression - yes it’s an agonizing wait. The clinic offered me 21st but I was greedy and asked for earlier appointment lol on 14th lol - though I might be cheeky and ask for another one if goes well xxx
That’s a good tip 👍🏼 it’s an expensive business all these pregnancy tests.
Think I’m just overly anxious waiting for this scan, as I was in this position last year. Went for the viability scan at 6 weeks and there was no heartbeat. I then had to have a D&C whilst I was awake 3 weeks later. So it was pretty traumatic time.
I can’t help but fear for the worst because of what’s happened. Just need to stay positive.
Wishing you all the luck in the world xxx
Congrats on your bfp - it must be so difficult to wait but also quite normal despite Covid. My clinic don’t do blood tests so you do a home test and then have to wait for seven weeks for your first scan.
I quite understand the need to test to see if things are progressing but please please don’t go crazy and test all the time and please don’t lose sleep if one test is fainter than others. Tests are designed as an indicator and not as a guarantee of what’s happening, I’ve seen so many people on this forum panicking because a line is fainter or the weeks indicator hasn’t progressed - and they’ve had so much stress and it’s been just a dodgy test so was all unnecessary
Equally as someone who has had a few downs as well as ups in this journey we feel like if we know what’s happening it will make things easier - but it really doesn’t. So just try and protect yourself as well. The best thing you can do for baby is try and keep calm and minimise stress. Masses of luck xx
Yes you are definitely right!!! Thank you xx
I was doing the same now I have stopped however I was luckily enough to have a hcg done today.. my scan is on the 17th it feels so long away 😩
I will be 6 weeks on the 10th and going for my scan then. I have tested everyday since my first test at 6dp5dt. The waiting is so hard. Especially at the moment. My anxiety is through the roof. That have not offered me blood tests either. Just desperate for some kind of reassurance. I know that doesn’t help but just so you know you’re not alone in feeling this way xx
You too xxx
I did home test 9 days past transfer and was positive and a blood test the same day. Since then (30/3) nothing and I have a scan 14/4. I don’t test as it would make me insane personally. I pray and hope for best and wait which is horrific I know especially on lock down.... very hard but just try and think of other things and try and be positive like ok I’m pregnant and that’s final. We have to believe in magic ⚡️⚡️
Congratulations to all my pregnant sisters! This is the only thing that's making lockdown bearable.
My scan is not until 4th May! I'll be 8 weeks by then. The waiting is killing me. I've only done two tests and will stop now because it's just giving me more anxiety. I thought the testing would make me feel better but it just makes it worse! I'm just trying to not think about it. Hard when I need to stick two pessaries up by va jay jay every day and take four tablets of oestradiol (IVF)....
I'm also sad I can't take my husband in due to Covid-19. Has anyone done a video call?
Hey dear, congratulations on the BFP I’m in the same boat too😊. I am due for a scan on the 6th May. I am so excited and just wishing for the best. Please keep us updated on your progress ❤️
