I just caved and took a HPT and it was a BFN. I am devastated and inconsolable. My Beta is on Monday (7 days post FET) what are the chances this changes to positive? Please be Honest. As much as it hurts I need to know. Ps- this my 4th transfer with donor eggs. 2 BFN and one miscarriage At 7 weeks prior. I also have ZERO symptoms.

Hi hun thats a bit early for a test as sometimes the implantation hasn't happened as of yet. What test did you use?

It was a generic test but given my beta is less than 48 hrs away shouldn’t it be a faint line by now if I was pregnant?

I was given 2 test from the nurses I was due to test 11 days after a 5 day transfer. I cheated and tested at 8 days with the test they gave me. It was negative but I refused to believe it so I bought a FRER and I got a faint positive. I then bought a clear blue digital got a 1-2 weeks. On my OTD I tested again using the test the other nurse gave me still negative i freaked out and got more test from the shop. Long story short I'm currently 6+1. I still think 5days past is really early

Wow- thank you so much for replying. Was this after a fresh or frozen transfer? And congratulations! ❤️❤️ I’ll hold onto some hope A little longer. I appreciate you replying!

I had a fresh cycle hun. But 5 days for a HPT is too early but let us know Tomorrow how your beta test went and when you're likely to get the results xx

5 days is WAYYYYY early. The embryo might only just be implanting at this stage and your body will not secrete HCG strong enough to detect in a urine test for at least a few more days. Blood tests are more sensitive. Definitely dont rule yourself out yet x

Ok- thank you. This is helpful. I’m SO mad at myself for testing . It made me so upset and I knew this could happen! I’m just so desperate for a positive after so much heartache. ❤️💔❤️💔

I totally understand. I tested early this round on 5DPT and it was negative, i ended up being admitted to hospital 7DPT with OHSS and they did a beta there which was positive! I’m currently 33weeks pregnant.

Hang in there 😌 the wait after transfer is the hardest time i think xx

5 days is way to early if you want to test early you can detect from day 9. Sending you baby dust

I live in the US and my doctor does the first beta 7 days After FET. I was pregnant last year but it ended in miscarriage and I got my BFP on my first beta which was 7 days after transfer. That’s why I’m so nervous. My beta is less than 48 hrs away and i feel like I should’ve had a faint positive. I appreciate the well wishes. ❤️

Beta tests are more accurate and sensitive as they actually quantify the numbers and hcg shows in blood before urine. However in the uk the earliest clinics seem to do bloods is 9dp5dt as that is 4 weeks pregnant and more accurate

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I thought you meant a pregnancy test- bets are more accurate

I agree it is far too early to use a generic test, dont rule yourself out yet x

5 days is too early! And this is coming from a serial tester!! 7dpt for your beta is super early in itself. I don’t think we do them here in the UK until at least 9/10 days. You’re definitely still in the game!! Xx

I am also 5DP5DT and got a BFN today, but I did that fully aware that it is TOO EARLY!! Last tranfer I saw a faint line for the first time was 6DP5DT.

Thanks. I hope I’m being crazy. The negative test combined with no symptoms has me really down. Any symptoms for you? And yes, I know every pregnancy is diff so if you had them and I didn’t it doesn’t necessarily mean anything... 🤪 best of luck with your beta and thank you for replying. I so appreciate it. ❤️🌈❤️

Yes and yes! So different! I also do not have any symptoms whatsoever this time, but I did have strong cramps, tingling and pulling last transfer. Baby dust to us! Let us all be blessed with these angels now. Enough of this ride!

Msze in reply to JuliaZ

Same here. May I ask what happened with your last transfer? I had a positive in the past with lots of cramps, tingling and pulling but unfortunately it ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks.

Last time I ended up bleeding though the (horse doses) of progesterone at 16PT 😔 clinic called it an early miscarriage. So the fact that I have no nasty physical and emotional symptoms (I was extra depressed, panicky and moody on top of all that cramping) puts me at ease - something IS different this time and I think it’s good. Gives me hope.

It's not too late for this to change, I got a BFN at 7 days post 5 day FET and was like you, devastated and totally convinced it was all over, but tested again on day 12 like the clinic asked and this was positive, had my 7 week scan on Thursday and all going well....there is still time for the result to change, wishing you lots of luck in your journey :) x
