12dp6dt and BFN, is this over?

[happypupp]

I'm 12dp6dt today. I had almost no symptoms up to this morning when I woke up to cramps like my usual periods.

The blood on the pad/bowl looks like the kind of bleeding I get on Day 1 of period.

Took a home pregnancy test and there wasn't even a faint line.

From your experience, does this sound like it's over?

I was instructed to have a blood hCG test on 14dp (this Saturday), but do you really need to after seeing BFN and bleeding at this point?

Hi Konyaga,

I would contact the clinic re blood test, seems pointless spending money on a blood test when you have a negative pregnancy test. In my experience I always test at 11 days past 5 day transfers for a definitive result, my period coming usually gives me a heads up before testing that it hasn't worked. But that isn't always full proof either, the test is 100% accurate for me. Did you test your progesterone levels before transfer, and during two week wait? I know you had a natural FET but 200mg is the smallest dosage and clinics usually like you to take 400mg twice a day. So the dosage should be based on your results after ovulation and again on transfer day and adjusted accordingly. xx

Sending hugs konyaga. In my experience, yes, and I agree with Masief about having to do a blood at 14 days. I've just had my 3rd experience of this and was searching on forums every day to see if it was all over. I had some implantation-type bleeding on day 9 then strong nausea on day 10 but nothing after and now I've stopped my meds and waiting for the flow that I know is here. It's great to read stories about late positives but I think it is quite rare. Its great to have hope too. Sending support for the next couple of days xx

Hello lovely,

I would agree with the others - a negative at day 12 is not likely to change - so sorry xx

hiya I hope you are ok? We have always tested day ten for hcg and day 12 if just a pregnancy test xxx

I’m so sorry at day 12 and with period in my experience this one hasn’t worked I’m afraid 😢 we test at day 10 with a fresh and a little later with a frozen but I’ve always had an accurate result by day 8 tbh. I don’t think I would pay for the blood test either but no harm if it’s free I suppose. Be kind to yourself I hope you have lots of support around you xx
