Hi all, FET was on Saturday and my boobs started stinging a couple days ago so I took a test. What do you think? It's promising but so worried! I'm really sick and now have to be on antibiotics, Azithromycin, for an ear and sinus infection. Plus my doctor said I could take Mucinex but I stopped after reading that it may not be good to take in the first month. So now I'm worried I've ruined everything of course 😩 terrible timing to get sick!

It looks positive to me - but I'm only used to reading FRER, do you have those? Most women on this forum use them and it's good because then you can easily compare line intensity to what others had.

I'm not sure, it was a cheap one I got at the store. Two in the box and the first one was defective (no lines of any kind). I'll go get some others today and test again tomorrow.

Have a look on amazon; you can get FRER for a good price and sometimes cheaper than in the shops

My husband went out and bought digital tests which I thought wouldn't work yet but I got the BFP today!

Massive Congratulations definately looks a positive to me. Don’t worry too much about ur current condition. Many people don’t realize they are pregnant and have drank loads of alcohol, smoking bad diet etc etc. if it’s meant to be and all that!!! All the best. The next few weeks is as much as a torture as the 2WW. Xxx

Thanks! I know the next few weeks will be grueling. I'll feel better if I get to see a strong heartbeat and high HCG numbers. Waiting is hard!

Interesting they won’t give you antibiotics in the U.K. if you’re pregnant, you’d just be told to go home take paracetamol and let it pass. Worth testing to see because of this but just to warn you I thought I was pregnant on my last FET because of my breasts being tender and it turned out to be the drugs

The infection was moving into my lungs so I think the doc felt it was better to do antibiotics. I got a digital BFP today 👍 so it's looking good.

I was on a 2 weekend antibiotics treatment while I had my FET. Didn’t impact the outcome 😊 fingers crossed 🤞🏼

I'm not familiar with these tests. Is it supposed to be a cross or just a vertical line? If the latter it's definitely positive. Congrats!

It was just supposed to be one line in the circle if positive. So it's a faint positive.

Looks like a positive to me 😊I hope the line keeps getting darker for you 🙏. I've been prescribed antibiotics to start taking from my transfer which I was worried about, but I suppose we just have to trust our consultants and an infection would probably be worse anyway. Wishing you lots of luck hun 💕xX

Thanks! I agree, an infection is no good. I'm in day 10 now and the digital tests are coming up positive 😊
