Sorry lovelies I've been asking for your help quite a bit recently.
So today is my OTD after a FET of a 5 day embryo (well 2 actually). I've tested using First Response early result and there is a second line but it's very feint. I made sure only to look at it within the 10 minutes window so I'm pretty sure it's a real line and not an evap line, but I'm worried it should be stronger by this point.
Yesterday I tested with Clearblue ultra early and there was almost no line at all (I thought there was one but also thought I was going mad!), so I'm hoping maybe the HCG has increased since yesterday.
Would love to know about others' experiences in a similar situation were.
Thank you 😘

Thank you so much hun, that's lovely of you, I really appreciate your support. Unfortunately my clinic don't offer blood tests so I think it's a waiting game.Wishing you all the luck on your journey too.
So stressful! I think the best thing to do would be to do a blood test to see what the hcg level is.
From my experience, faint lines at 10 or 11 dp on first response meant chemical pregnancy but hopefully it’s different for you! Do the blood test for peace of mind xxx
Thank you lovely, I do wonder if it's a chemical, which would be sad but then again these things happen and I guess it's all part of the journey. I do wish my clinic offered blood tests, as you say just for peace of mind.We'll get there in the end!
Hi there, it's such a tough moment, testing, and anxiety ridden. With the FRER tests, you need to read the result after 3 minutes. I think 10 minutes is a little too long. Have you tried a clear blue digital one? That might help you as it literally says the words pregnant or not pregnant, and then it will tell you by how many weeks. Good luck my sweet, did you manage to have any other embryos frozen at all? Xxx
Thank you so much for your good wishes hun and kind words. I do have 3 more frozen so it's not all over if this doesn't work, I will definitely try and hold on to that. Sending the very best wishes to you too.
You're more than welcome xx that's really comforting to know you still have 3 frosties, but each time you have a failed cycle it just increases anxiety more the next time 😔 ....saying that, onwards and upwards, wishing you every ounce of success and I have everything crossed for you xxx❤❤
Morning! I had my FET on the 25th and my OTD was 14 days later, I caved and tested on day 10/11 but it was BFN, I tested again on day 13 and it was definitely positive! Keep the faith and good luck!x
