So confused and losing confidence in my body

I’ve been testing since 9dp5dt, my OTD was Sunday 25th (11dp5dt) and I’ve had a faint positives on each day on a frer test.

Called the clinic and scan booked for 17th Aug, but also told to retest as an option.

This morning (13dp5dt) I tested using a clear blue digital, and it came up as ‘not pregnant’.

I really don’t know what to think?

I’ve called my GP surgery to ask for a HCG, as my clinic doesn’t offer them. I’ve bought another frer for tomorrow morning, but my confidence is at an all time low…

I feel so very confused.

Is there a way you can pay to get a private HCG test? That will give you he best info. Might just be that your levels are lower, or your embie implanted a little late. Don't worry too much yet xo

PS. This link here says that implantation of a 5 day blast can take up to 5 days, so you might just be a little late advancedfertility.com/ivf-i...

Hi there, I really feel for you as I’ve been in the same situation. Unfortunately I experienced a chemical pregnancy as my lines never got darker. I really hope this isn’t the same for you. Got my fingers crossed for you🤞 💕💕 xx

Awww Beca, sending you the biggest hugs. It seems we are going through an identical experience.. so you are not alone xx

My clinic have told me no more testing until Friday and to carry on taking meds as usual. If my period starts, then to let them know.. but remember it is still very early. I'd steer clear of the digital testing for much longer because it is so early. If you can avoid testing for 2-3 days then you should have a reliable indication of what's going on. Testing every day will only bring you stress..

I'm really praying for a good outcome for us both, it's been emphasised to me how early it is still so we may just have slightly more chilled em-babies after the freeze! Massive hugs xx

I can only tell you my experience. Unfortunately when I had on clear blue "not pregnant" that confirmed me that I had a chemical pregnancy. It happened to me twice but is not necessarily your case. I saw many ladies here that complained about the inacurracy of clear blue tests. Keeping my fingers crossed for you ❤️🙂
