Dreaded testing…

[lianm8]

when did everyone test and at what stage did you get a bfp after a FET? I’ve had a transfer today of one embryo and praying he or she sticks! Hoping I wait till at least this time next week but my blood test isn’t until Monday 6th Feb! X

If you can, try to hold out til test day. If not then at least a week after transfer, even then it could be too early. I got positives at 7 days post x

Your clinic should have given you a date to test for an accurate result - or just wait for your blood test on 6th Feb. If you test too early, you might get a false negative, which could be upsetting. Try to keep your mind off it by keeping busy and taking really good care of yourself. Good luck! x

Honestly testing early gives you nothing but stress.... you then want to test daily to check it is still there, you doubt every feeling, google every symptom or lack of symptoms. Dill the tww with lots of nice things. See friends/watch tv, go walks or whatever makes you happy! Good luck xx

I managed to hold out till 9dpt, 2 days before OTD and had a clear positive, don’t know if I could have coped with testing any earlier as faint lines/early negatives would’ve sent me sideways xx

Best to wait till OTD - will be hard but try to keep yourself busy -read a good book - watch boxset on TV Eat well and drink plenty of fluids and take any meds you have been given as directed

Good luck wishes for OTD

I got positives for both my transfers on 4dp5dt. ( I have had MC in 18 months). I agree with the above advise about trying to wait. The anxiety between the 4dp5dt and OTD was huge. Are my lines dark enough, stressing every morning, then getting early betas. It never left my thoughts.

My first transfer ended in a pregnancy of un known viability, the second I am 16 weeks. In IVF we have lots of hurdles to jump where we don’t have control but this one we do. If I had to go it all again I would have waited.

The very best of luck to you x

I tested early on my first and it was awful because it was negative. You then have to test on test day still with the awful feeling. So second time I waited until test day. I was positive so it was a good ending but waiting was honestly the best outcome whatever it would have been.

thank you all ladies I’m going to try my best to hold out 🙏🏻

My date is 2nd Feb and have told myself to wait. I deliberately kept cupboards to be cleared out for this time, plus jigsaws and a new book my mum bought me. I'm working too which helps to distract me. Hold out with me!

I was silly and tested at 4.30am this morning when I woke up for a wee (4dp5dt but my transfer wasn’t until 2pm so I guess I’m not even that yet) and it was obviously a BFN. I don’t know why I did it, I’ve googled and seen people do get bfp at 4dp so now all I’ve done is upset myself! You haven’t got long to test stick is out few more sleeps I am praying for you x
