Hi everyone
My wife and I ( as 2 women) have has reciprocal IVF. Using my wife’s eggs fertilised with a donor they transferred 1 day 5 blastocyst ( grade B) on the 9th November ( 11 days ago). So I did a HPT 8DPT - negative and another today 11DPT - solid negative.
We have the beta blood test on Monday morning which will be 13DPT.
Can I still have hope or is it game over?
Hi lovely, sometimes you could have late implantation which means the HCG wouldn’t be strong enough to show yet, but in all honesty those scenarios don’t tend to be the best. My clinic has always done beta tests at day 9 and ask us to do a home test then too, so by then it’s usually an accurate result. Did you use an FRER test? They are the most sensitive…. Xx
Thank you. I used a clear blue on day 8 and then afterwards day 11 another brand which was supposedly sensitive. I am taking it as a negative and we have 1 embryo frozen to try again, although it was a grade c. Fingers crossed we eventually get our pregnancy. None of us have fertility problems so I thought this would be easier than it has been. No one prepared us for this emotional rollercoaster and we never realised how bloody hard and complex the whole process is.
Thank you so much for your response
I will update after BETA results 🤞🏻
I felt exactly the same after our first, so unprepared for the emotion. My strategy was to plan ahead for the next one straight away. Get some ideas in place and crack on. I guess head in the sand really..I really hope it changes for you lovelies!
If it helps, it’s rare for it to work first time, even with no issues (we were the same fertility wise)… xxx
Negative beta… 🙁
Next one will stick 💪🏼💪🏼
