To test early or not?

I’ve got a positive feeling about this transfer, (everything crossed).

How many of you have tested early? I wouldn’t even consider testing until day 7/8, did anyone get any positive test result that early?

Is it a very silly idea to test early?

I would say don't test. I tested early and instantly regretted it! Very best of luck to you 💕

I’m an early tester as I can’t deal with not knowing. Most people would say not too though! If you’re going to do it early make sure you use first response. I think if it’s a 5 day embryo then day 7/8 would be pretty accurate. I got a faint positive at 5dp5dt. Good luck whatever you decide to do!

I've just finished my 2ww. I was reading stories about people testing early and whether to or not. My official test day wasn't until 13dp5dt. However I tested on day 9. I got a really faint positive. Really faint, you had to squint, but it was there. So I thought wait a couple of days and it will get darker. But after testing it became harder not to test and the worry that it was too faint was massive. The excitement of it actually being there was great though. The next day I wanted to test again but didn't have the same sensitivity test. I used a cheapie, and nothing. So I got some of the same but the line gradually faded not got stronger, and I knew yesterday it was definitely gone and I was out. I think it was worse testing early. Even if you get a postitive, the worry is greater and you can't be sure u til test day. If you get a negative you can keep telling yourself it could still come, but it's so upsetting. I am absolutely devastated today. This was my 3rd transfer, but this one was PGTA tested normal, I had different types of progesterone and tested really high levels. But still no luck. I'm not sure why I I I a faint positive and then faded. It must have tried to implant but couldn't have done properly. My friend said it was so unlikely to get a false positive hence why I tested early. I thought this wouldn't happen with a normal embryo. But it did. I think I would recommend just waiting. What day is OTD for you?

Hi Strattonsuzy my OTD is actually 8dpt which I have been concerned maybe is a little early, but its the date given by the hospital. I have resisted the urge to test any earlier and will wait it out, I expected to have to wait 14 days so see this as a bonus. Good luck hope it's a BFP💛💫 xx

Is it a blood test? That it usual for bloods, although seems early for a HPT! You may get a reliable result but might not by then!!! As you've seen some people don't get til later, maybe even 11 or 13!!

Hi, yes it's a HPT. I did query it and they said usual protocol is to test 16 days following trigger shot. I might try and wait it out a little while longer xx

It’s so hard but I waited until test day and I am so happy I did because even on test day my positive was very faint and tooks days to become darker. I think if I had tested earlier it would have been negative and I would have lost mind. I believe the clinics give you a test day for this reason.

It’s tempting though isn’t it xx

That's interesting! What day was your OTD? We see some people here say they get positives from day 4 or 5 but yet some don't get it til day 13! I guess everyone is different!!!

Test day was 12dp5dt which was a Monday. It was faint until around the Saturday and always with my morning urine xx

Thank you, you have convinced me to wait it out. Like you all say it’s so hard though. It’s only been 3 days and I feel like I want to test already. Just need to take my mind off it ❤️

I would defo suggest waiting until the day the clinic say. Unless you cold handle the stress of not really knowing until you get to test day. As soon as you test you will keep

Testing so tread carefully my friend 😘💐💐💐🙏🏻💖💖💖
