I caved and tested this afternoon and got a negative. I'm so gutted, as I have tender breasts and even twinges in the pelvic area a couple times a day.... feel stupid as feel like I'm having a phantom pregnancy on the progesterone.
Feeling sad and foolish as this is our 4th Fresh cycle and I have nothing frozen. I'm 38, my career is on a hold for the IVF. I have 2 more cycles. I have no idea how I can improve the outcome for next time.

your not our yet, its still early and sometimes you get bfps later than you perhaps have before, I know that I did. You can only do so much, the rest is down to luck. All I did this time was pom juice and acupuncture before and after transfer. I ate terrible, didn't excersise and certainly wasn't getting enough rest. I always think, people in a lot worse health get pregnant, so don't be too harsh on yourself ❤️
I would say hun 7 days after a 3 day transfer is too early, I always waited till 8 days after a 5 day transfer, which I guess would be 10 days for you after a 3 day, and that was me using the FRER also. I know some people get results earlier but many of us don't, if it's not too painful I would say don't lose hope yet.
I did exactly the same this morning! 7dp3dt same as you and it was negative! It’s far too early though I’m hoping we’re still in with a good chance we’ve got almost a week left until OTD. Mines 16th Feb, when’s yours? Xx
I'm really sorry to read this. Try not to lose hope yet - especially if it was a day 3 embryo. That would be the equivalent of what, only 5 days post 5dt which is really too early for most people's hcg to be detected. There ARE people who test positive that early, and you'll find lots of storiew, but there are also lots who don't and only see a BFP at maybe 9 or 10 dp5dt. Sometimes even later! I don't want to give you false hope so apologies if this isn't helpful. Sending lots of love for the next few days 💗
This journey is so damn hard. But as the other ladies have said, it seems as though you have tested a little too early. I know nothing anyone says will make you feel better. Try to hang in there and I really hope you get your BFP when you decide to test next. Thinking of you x
