Negative result testing on OTD with Day 2 Embryo Transfer

[HopefulJane]

Hello all,

This morning was my recommended test day (13 days post transfer) and I tested negative. I had a day 2 embryo transfer as I only had one viable embryo, unfortunately.

It's a big disappointment as I was convinced it had worked as I had been feeling so hopeful last week with what I thought were sure signs - sore boobs, dark red/brown spotting once when I wiped on day 10 post transfer that I had convinced myself was implantation but then since about 5 days ago, I felt nothing- almost back to my old self, save for the pessaries I needed to put in twice a day.

Since taking the test this morning, my husband found info online that says that with embryos transferred earlier than the norm which seems to be 5 day blastocyst, there could still be a chance for a positive result and to allow for up to 17 days post transfer to test. I don't know how to feel about this as there does not seem to be much info online about early embryo transfers testing positive later.

I still have the beta test to do on Sunday, but to be honest, I am not holding out much hope. Can anyone relate or even better, have any positive stories about testing negative on OTD and getting a positive result later?

Thank you in advance for any responses.

Hi Lovely. Hmm so day 13 after a day 2 transfer would be 10dp5dt. Usually positives show by then but not always. There are always a few cases where the embryo implants later. They give us OTD for a reason 💕 It's rare but basically there's always hope until test day xx
