Early tester.... BFN 😫

[Hope752]

I’m only 5dp3dt which I know is mega early. But I couldn’t resist. I’m really struggling this time 😔

Hi lovely, as you say it’s too early!! You can’t really get a reliable test until at least 8dp... if you can hold on for a few days it may well change xx

[Hope752 in reply to Millbanks]

Thanks lovely. Why is this process so rubbish?! 😩

[Millbanks in reply to Hope752]

It’s so hard. It really is. Try not to think too far ahead. Take each day as it comes and try to limit your dreams of the outcome. It really helps! Xx

Feel I’m on self sabotage mode this evening 🙁

[Millbanks in reply to Hope752]

What’s important is that however you feel won’t affect the outcome. So try and take it easy on yourself x

[Hope752 in reply to Millbanks]

Thank you xx

I’d think it’s too early too... hold out and try and keep yourself distracted with nice walks, reading, yoga, baking or whatever keeps your mind busy! Xx

That is way to early to test I got bfp on 9 days past 3 days transfer

I am 9dp5dt and I stopped testing 7dpt. I was tired of seeing negatives even though I knew it was early. I just started feeling like negatives were being thrown in my face, when I have the medical knowledge that it could have been to early. I have my first beta tomorrow! Good luck! And baby dust to you 🤍

Hi lovely! 5 days is wayyyyyy tooooo early! Please don’t think this is the correct version of your test wait at least up till day 11 I know it’s super hard, but day 5 your body just hasn’t produced enough hcg!! 💞

As a fellow early-tester I completely sympathise, I think it’s the need to have a little bit of control in some small way. Like everyone has said though, it is way too early xxxx

I’m 6dp5dt and I’m feeling exactly the same as you. I worry all the time and really want to take a test, but husband keeps telling me it’s too early I should wait until 10dp as I was told by clinic. It’s our first IVF and it’s only since the EC that I’ve really struggled with the whole process and not knowing - I really didn’t think it’d be this hard.

[Hope752 in reply to xMLx]

I know what you mean. It’s all very exciting a positive to start with then reality kicks in. I think it’s hard having no symptoms too, at least I’d have some sort of inking. I didn’t tell my husband I tested. He’s a stickler for the rules x

[xMLx in reply to Hope752]

That’s exactly it. It’s exciting to start with then it all kicks in and the thought of it failing becomes hard to deal with. I’ve come to a compromise with hubby that I can test tomorrow if I’m still feeling anxious, but he keeps telling me to not get our hopes up as no matter what it says it could change. It’s odd because I’m normally the stickler for rules and he’s more fast and loose but this has changed us, he’s trying to be strong and tough when that’s normally my role. This site has given me hope that the fact that my symptoms have stopped isn’t necessarily a bad thing, so I’m clinging to that right now! x

Hello! I'm really sorry you got a BFN, I know how disappointing it is. But like others have said, it is still very early days so try and hold out until your OTD and then test again. It could just be that your HCG levels aren't high enough yet to be detected on a HPT, so try not to feel too deflated, as there is still hope xxx
