Hello (8 days after embryo transfer)

[Needhelp120]

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering is it too early to test at home 8 days after embryo transfer?

If results are negative, can blood work be positive?

Hi dear,

Might be bit early, I know you are going crazy with the waiting.

Do you have any specific symptoms?

Thank you for responding. It is quite nerve wracking.

I’m mostly experiencing nausea the day of Transfer and mild cramps, and somewhat of heaviness in lower abdomen everyday since the transfer.

Your symptoms sound promising!

Are you taking pressaries?

Hello!

I think you should be fine to test at day 8 with Frer (first response) as it’s the most sensitive.

FRERs are:

•⁠76% accurate at 5DP5DT

•⁠96% accurate at 6DP5DT

•⁠greater than 99% accurate at 7DP5DT

FRERs can still be negative, and you can still be pregnant because the FRER test was taken before the 6.5 mlu threshold has been met. But because that 6.5mlu threshold is so so so low, the question really becomes a discussion about implantation days.

If you’re on Reddit, there’s an IVF board and the pinned post is super helpful in terms of testing days and implantation etc.

I think you’re ok to test at 8 days but then I’m a serial tester and just can’t help myself!!

Let us know how you get on xxx
