Congratulations. I think the test is right for your dates it would be 1-2 weeks since conception. I have had 1 late loss at 20 weeks and 3 early losses ( I do have 2 live daughters out of 6 pregnancies with my husband) I do understand the fear. I test 12 DPO and get 1-2 weeks. I did with my youngest daughter Eliza -our Francesca I was too scared to test early!! ( 7 years of infertility will do that to you) I am 4 weeks and got a 1-2 weeks on Wednesday when I was 12 DPO . It is brutal being pregnant after losses. Early weeks are hard and all we can do take it one day at a time. I would re test in a couple of days with first urine and hopefully seeing weeks progress will offer reassurance ( we've done that s few times) I don't think at this early point it is anything to be concerned about it. All the best with your pregnancy Xx
I am so sorry about your losses, this ivf journey is a roller coaster..... I usually don't do urine tests as my doctor told me not to, they solely rely on hcg bloods. But i thought why not...
Thank you so much, will try and relax until blood test π x
It's only the hcg blood tests that will tell what's actually going on and you need two 48hrs apart. The cbs are useful and I've used these each time and they've been accurate for me *but* they do cause a massive amount of stress because the thing that matters is HCG doubling time, not so much the actual level of HCG. I think 1-2 is fine for 6dp5dt. If you look at the hcg sensitivity/thresholds for CBD in their leaflets it's 1-2wks: 11-152, 2-3wks: 153-2752, and 3+wks: 2753. So if you were at e.g., hcg 50 when you tested (my first tests have come in anywhere between 20 and 80), then you may need to wait 2/3 days to get to 100, then another 2/3 days more to 200 - it's normally quicker but you may wany to give it another few days.
Hi, thank you for the detailed reply π Yes my doctor tells me to only do hcg blood tests, if the one on Wednesday is positive then i have to go back Friday to see if it's doubled. π€π€π€ Hoping this one will ve the one that sticks . Xxx
Wishing you loads of luck. I've been there a few times and know how chemicals and losses can make you second guess everything, when what would be lovely is just to get the BFP and relax x
Your welcome, I understand how you feel because I was nervous until I got my hcg levels blood test result and it ended up being high at 365 at 11 days past 5 day frozen transfer xx
yes it should only be 1-2 at 6dp5dt! As it is only 1-2 weeks post conception. Mine changed to 2-3 at 9 or 10dp5dt and then to 3+ after another week and a bit I think.
Congratulations! I really hope this one sticks for you xxx
