I caved in 7dp5dt and tested. Has anyone else had lines this dark at day 7? Embryo was a 5AA hatching 🐣

Congratulations! Did you have any symptoms? I’m 4DP5DT and except on the day of transfer I’ve had none at all 😳 xxx

The whole reason I tested is because I felt like it hadn’t worked. I’ve had a few period cramps at night and some twinges but honestly nothing that I would think I’m pregnant. I still don’t think I am lol 😂 still in disbelief. This is my 4th transfer and 3rd time pregnant with ivf. The last 2 rounds ended in early miscarriage around 8 weeks! That’s why I tested yesterday as I couldn’t help myself. X

Hi Becky, so pleased for your positive treatment cycle so lovely!. I am 7 weeks 4 days. I have a 20 month old already and this is my second FET transfer. So far all looks fine on scans. Can i ask how did you find out your early miscarriages previously around 8 weeks., was it a MMC or did you have pains/bleeding which signalled it? Thanks

Beckyalf in reply tosunset212

We got to our scan date, up until that day everything was fine then no heartbeat was found at the scan. X

I am so sorry to read that, but hopefully new beginnings with this little cherub. I wish you the very best. The very same happenened to me there at 7 weeks, baby hb was absent and was only measuring 6 weeks 2. I then went on to have a healthy baby boy the next time round xx

XOXO13 in reply toMakingbabyN

I’m 6dp5dt and haven’t really had any either which is freaking me out! But I’m holding onto hope and also other stories where women haven’t had any symptoms yet they still got they’re BFP 🍀🤞🏻 Xx

Hi Hells18 , we're about the same! 😍 I'm 5weeks 5 days and time is going soooo.... slowly 😩 I found out at 4+2 which feels months ago lol 🤦‍♀️ just desperate to get to 12 weeks so I know I'm semi-safe by that stage (still not out the woods but...) xxx

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toIcsi_Wincy_Spider

Ditto.. the early days you analyse everything don't you! I am 7 + 4 today .. roll on 12 weeks for us! xx

Icsi_Wincy_Spider profile image
Icsi_Wincy_Spider in reply tosunset212

sunset212 oh yes!! I've been getting mild cramps every few days, and it's terrifying as I usually associate those type of pains with my period. It happened today, just for 10mins or so but I was so scared I had to go to bed and sleep to block it out. Roll on June 🙏😘😘

I did. I have always had double transfers as our odds at it working were small. This time both have stuck ❤️

Congratulations! I had a a very strong line day 7 and day 9 was a dye stealer already. In general my hcg was above average but the consultant said this is not an issue as long as it doubles. Singleton pregnancy:)

Beckyalf profile image
Beckyalf in reply toSnuggling

I’m pinching myself as the lines have never been that strong so early on. I went back through my phone and compared last years day 10 test which unfortunately we miscarried on at around 8 weeks and the difference is massive. I’ve done another test this morning and the lines definitely look darker so I’m going to call the clinic and confess I tested early and see if they will do a blood test early.

Do you recall what your first HCG reading was and how many days past>? X

Snuggling profile image
Snuggling in reply tosunset212

It was 2465 and it was day 12.

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toSnuggling

Wow that was high reading, you are carrying a singleton pregnancy? Mine was 1390 on day 12. I have a singleton. My last reading a week ago was 51, 708 lol x

Snuggling profile image
Snuggling in reply tosunset212

Yes! I was worried as it was higher than expected but the consultant said this was a good result and there was nothing to worry as some pregnancies start lower some higher. She’s moving now inside me:)

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toSnuggling

Fab so you are having a little girl :-) When are you due? .Do you remember your girls grade? This one is a 3BB. I had a private scan yesterday having them fortnightly at mo due to SCH and baby is measuring 2 days ahead 8 weeks 1 and good Hb 178. Hopefully all continues to go well . I have a son already but will have a surprise and wait to know the sex this time. Have a healthy and enjoyable rest of your pregnancy xx

Snuggling in reply tosunset212

Congrats to you. Going forward a week my digital was also showing weeks in advance and then I experienced hook effect as it went down to 2-3 weeks from reaching 3 +. Now I know the test couldn’t hope with those high numbers. Did half water and pee and was showing 3+ again.

Congratulations- it’s definitely looking good! I’m 3DP5DT and the test feels like forever away. I also had a 5AA. Not really feeling symptoms, other than cramps on the day of transfer and sore boobs first couple of days. I’m trying not to read into it, but it’s so hard waiting, your mind goes totally into overdrive, doesn’t it?! How will I wait till 14th April?! Aaaaaargh!!!

Beckyalf profile image
Beckyalf in reply toSunshine1910

I can’t help myself we’re 4 transfers in, tbh I was not expecting them lines. I think I sat on the sofa for 5 mins going noooooo, no way lol 😂

Sunshine1910 profile image
Sunshine1910 in reply toBeckyalf

I can imagine, it must be so hard going through this four times. I was wondering how fast implantation happens when you have a hatching blastocyst transferred. Can’t find the answer anywhere! 😬😬 but I guess theoretically it could start almost immediately as I believe it can start attaching whilst it’s still hatching!

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toSunshine1910

According to trusted online sources anything from 2-5 days for implantation to fully complete ( that’s from starting to attach to womb lining to completing the process) x

They are pretty dark Becky wow! Was it the 45 second FR one? Congrats no denying you are preggers! xx

Beckyalf profile image
Beckyalf in reply tosunset212

Yea just the normal FR ones you pick off the shelf at boots. Is it the rapid response? X

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toBeckyalf

Yeah rapid response are the 45 sec ones I think. I used the standard FR like you initially then the others were a 3rd cheaper so swapped later on lol xx

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toBeckyalf

This was mine 6 days past transfer ( first morning urine so much lighter than yours and I am 7 weeks 4 now had scan few days ago so yours is fab so excited for you Xx 🤞

Hiya, the clinic phone today with a good news - pregnant for 4 weeks today 🥰HCG 124, having second blood test tomorrow. Fingers x, it will be a higher number.

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toApril2021

That’s wonderful great reading very similar to my first one at 136. I wish you a healthy happy pregnancy xx

April2021 in reply tosunset212

Hi, what was your HCG after 48 hours (12 days after 5dt),please. I have 338. Nurse said it's a good number and booked me for my first scan on 6 weeks 6 days of the pregnancy. Feels like it's a long wait!

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toApril2021

Hi, congratulations! You have more than doubled there so that's look great, all heading in the right direction. Yes 7 weeks is normal for first scan, they rarely do it before 6.5 weeks as they want to be sure they can see everything they need to see as everyone is different. My first reading at 10 days past was 136, then 48 hours later ( a friday) was 387. Then it was weekend but went for a private blood draw on the Monday and it was 1585, 2 days later on the wednesday it was 3701.

Just to note once HCG surpasses 6000 it often takes then 4 or more days to double. All the best for your scan in a few weeks so happy for you xxx

April2021 profile image
April2021 in reply tosunset212

Thank you, that's comforting to know 😊 I read you had nausea at week 8. When did you start feeling sick? I have no symptoms at all other than very thirsty all the time and odd cramping from time to time (4 weeks 4 day pregnant today)Hope all is going well with you xx

sunset212 profile image
sunset212 in reply toApril2021

Thanks yes I had very little but from the 6th week my nausea kicked in daily and breasts seem to grow overnight swollen and tender to prod lol! Oh and really tired. I just feel sick periodically and I’m getting used to tiredness going out in fresh air more now the weather is picking up. I am 8 weeks + 2 today xx

April2021 profile image
April2021 in reply tosunset212

Roll on the 6th week then, lol 😆Glad to hear you're not feeling sick every day nowadays xx

Im really glad to find your question here! I am exactly the same! I'm currently 10dp5dt and Im fairly certain it was a hatching blastocyte, (I should probably know shouldnt i!) it was definitely chromosomally normal. I tested from 7days post transfer because I was afraid I was getting my period and my lines were nearly as dark as yours and getting ever so slighly darker each day. My boobs are now really sore and my period hasnt come (I have a short cycle so its pretty much due) so I'm feeling cautiously confident but this is ALL new to me so I am also nervous and am worried I've made a mistake or something! my blood test is tomorrow. How are you feeling now?

Beckyalf profile image
Beckyalf in reply toejc36

I feel normal just a little tired on and off and hard boobs at night when I take my bra off lol. Also had some period type cramps, but honestly the only reason I took the test is because I genuinely thought it wasn’t working. Apparently people say if it was hatching the whole process goes quicker. I had my transfer on the 27th March. I have a picture of my little blastocyst. I’m sure you will be celebrating tomorrow after your blood test. X

ejc36 profile image
ejc36

My transfer was the 26th so just a day ahead (I'm in australia here so we're ahead anyway!) I was excactly the same, I thought I'd put myself out of my misery because i was sure AF was coming. I'm still getting some cramps and pains which now makes me nervous because now I'm worried something will go wrong but I guess thats normal. This whole process is like emotional roulette. Look forward to hearing how you go too!! x
