6dp5dt - I tested, is it +ve?

I couldn't wait any longer, this is our second IVF round and second transfer and I've been feeling the pressure because we have male factor AND my AMH and AFC is so low despite only being in my early 30s, so time is running out for us and the chances of success for us was low. I've been feeling really strong period cramps and thought 'damn it's over here comes AF' and I didn't have any implantation bleeding so I tested this morning to get the bad news out of the way.

I think it's positive, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Should the lines be closer together? I don't quite believe it, my husband is on cloud 9, Im so scared of being happy about it in case it's not real. This is going to take a while to sink in and I'm going to have to keep testing... after years of TTC and tests and IVF I'm so used to bad news could this actually be happening??

Was this a fresh transfer? If so, there is the danger of a false positive from a trigger shot.

[LittleBlueOwl in reply to LuxFleur]

Oh no, do you think that's what it is? It is a fresh transfer. My trigger shot was on the 17th May - 13 days ago. Do you think it's still in my system?

[LuxFleur in reply to LittleBlueOwl]

It's not impossible. This kind of thing is why you're not supposed to test early. No matter what the early test says, you will only drive yourself crazy. I have been watching women go through this on this forum for years. I would really, really urge you to not test again until your OTD. No one on the internet is going to be able to tell you whether you are pregnant or not. The only thing to do is to wait for the test day and then test. Get an HCG test if possible. Usually test day is ten or eleven days after the transfer if it is a 5 day blastocyst transfer, and longer for a 3 day embryo transfer. I'm sure you know when your OTD is. I hope it is positive for you! Try to sit tight and not test until OTD.

you help out well, I’ve tested at 3 And 4 before 😂 congratulations 🥳 !!xxx

Awww congratulations! 🎉🎉 That looks like a strong line! A bit too strong to be your trigger but I wouldn’t rule it out. I would say test again in 48hours and if you have the same or darker then that’s a good sign xx

I have my OTD tomorrow so fingers crossed xx

I really hope it's real and not the trigger! I tested at 7dp5dt (fresh) last time round and got a stark white negative, not even a hint of positive, so I think you're right that if I test in 48hrs we can be more confident about it.

I'll have my fingers crossed for you tomorrow! I'm so amazed that you've lasted so long without testing early! xxx
