Was 8dp5dt too early too test

[Winniebear1]

I feel s**t, I had one embryo transferred on Sunday and today I have caved and tested with a normal clear blue and it was completely negative.

I have convinced myself I am out of the game.

No symptoms that are constant, I had back ache to one side on days 3 and 4, then a heavy feeling in my lower stomach, bloating and sore breasts on days 5, 6 and 7 but nothing today.

Got a blood test booked for Thursday

Now keep thinking why did I test?

Hi Winniebear. Try and stick to the test day your clinic gave you. Take all your prescribed medication even if any spotting occurs. Good luck. Diane

Thanks for your reply Diane, I am sticking to meds and will not test again until Thursday.

I just hope I tested too soon but not sure if this is just false hope.

I always test early. Everybody’s different. I find the 2 week wait horrendous and I’m ok for about 4 days post transfer then I lose my head.

Some people can manage the wait and some can’t.

I think it’s whatever works for you. I’ve tested as early as day 5 and had a positive and I’ve tested on other transfers and had negatives that remained negative.

My logic is if I test early and it’s negative it can only stay negative or get positive. Testing can’t change the result, only help calm your mind or wind you up.

On this cycle I tortured myself and tested twice a day from day 5 til test date. For me it would have been equal torture not testing.

Clear blue is not a very sensitive test. Have you tried with FRER?

[Winniebear1 in reply to Eloquentia]

Thank you for responding.Just order some today, but not testing now until Thursday morning followed by blood test at clinic.

definitely take a first response I find they pick up results quicker than clear blue! Good luck x
