Pregnancy test negative after 10 days of 5 day blastocyte frozen transfer

[Hk12]

Hi everyone,

I had a frozen 5db transfer on 2nd October. I was told to test on 14th October but I started getting lots of headache (which is always a symptom I get before my period, maybe due to low progesterone level?) and decided to test early this morning, 10 days after embryo transfer. It came back negative, not even a faint double line whatsoever. I read in some places that testing after 10 days for FET is ok so I’m feeling so disappointed... part of me is saying I shouldn’t give up hope but the other part is saying I should accept this result and move on... has anyone been in similar situation (ie tested negative at 10 days then positive afterwards?). It’s been such an emotional journey and I really hoped for a positive result

Hi Hk. I would test on the day your clinic recommended you to and take it from there. Keep up with any medication you have been prescribed and make sure you test with the first urine of the day. Good luck! Diane

Diane, thank you so much for your response!! I had BFN and needed time to recover a bit.. I’m thinking of doing another FET straight away but can’t make up my mind!

Hi Hk. Just make sure you feel up to it before going ahead. Hopefully next time with a FET will be your time. Diane

What test did you use?

If it’s first response 6 days early, it’s generally correct at 10dp5dt

Thank you so much for your response.. in the end, I had BFN. I called the clinic and you were right that by 10dp5dt, we should know the result. Although my test day was 12dp, I was told that if I had a negative on 10dp it’s very unlikely it will turn positive in 12dp and that’s what happened in the end

Bummer, bfns definitely feel like a punch in the gut. I’m sorry.

Don’t give up hope, try again when you’re ready and fingers crossed, next one will be the one xxx
