Can I really be pregnant 14dp5dt?

[Holiday_maker]

Hi everyone,

Just some help and advice needed, we have recently had our 3rd fresh round of ivf. Everything went went well and had two 5 day embryos transferred on 8th March.

I have been really good and not tested before my clinic told me to, on the 19th (12dt) BFN they had told me to test again on 21st March. Which was a very faint line, I then bought another test which I did which was positive.

I have woken up this morning 15dp5dt and taken a first response test, and got a very strong BFP.

Can this be true? Am I testing to late? Or have clinic asked me to test too early? Really don’t know what to think!! 🤔

Thanks x

Hi Holiday_maker,

This actually happened to a friend of mine, she got a bfn on OTD but then a faint BFP three days later. She had a healthy pregnancy, guess it was just a late implanter!xx

Congratulations on the BFP! Focus on that okay and don’t think too much about the initial negative results. Wishing you well in your pregnancy love!

I would say the later result is likely to be correct and the earlier one just too early! That’s why they always say to test again in 2-3 days rather than stop the meds immediately .... congrats 🥳

Agree with the other comments. Take it as a win regardless. Congrats. Friday was my official test day using the hospital issued test and it was faulty. The test didn't work at all, no control line. I will as devastated. I had to wait until the next day to retest and I also got a BFP. I think sometimes it just takes a while for the HGC to build up enough and also that some hospitals have issued crappy home tests.

Thanks for the kind words,

I have spoken to my clinic and they are happy it’s a positive, (still doesn’t seem real) they have told me just to carry on for another 2 weeks with the medication, then they have booked me in for a scan.

Does this seem right? Thought I would need a blood test to confirm.

Thanks x

Same as me. Just carry on with the progesterone pessaries ( I had to pick up a load more from the clinic) and a scan on the 13th April. No blood test. I thought the blood tests (beta draws) were mainly in other countries and not common in the UK.

Hi. May I ask what was the outcome in your case? I'm in the same situation.
