Grasping at straws

So I had my third cycle of IVF (2 embryos) which I thought had failed as I had a proper period last week. Today is OTD and I think I can see a really faint second line? Has this happened to anyone and been pregnant or am I grasping at straws?

Looks like a second line to me! These cheap tests never throw up a strong line anyway in my experience, take a first response test if you have one to reassure you.

Congratulations!

I can see a second line, wouldn't want to give you any false hope but it may be better to wait another day or 2 and take the test again to confirm its definitely a positive.

Best of luck and keeping everything crossed for you that it's a positive x

Oh I’m so sorry 😢 what brand did you buy? X

It may be that if it wasnt your first morning urine that it's not strong enough on the 2nd test. Use first response test and do first thing tomorrow. It's probably just the test you used.xx

I see you've been out and bought another test. It could be that because you havent used first morning urine that it wont show....also different brands have different thresholds. I guess the 2 scenarios are at you have had a chemical pregnancy where implantation occurs but doesnt carry on so your hCG is decreasing or that your hCG is ok thr rise. What day is this you are on post transfer? I would carry on your meds and retest ina couple of days time.xx

P.s I can see a line too!xx
