9dp5dt, no positive test result, period missed 6 days

[WaitingforGabriel]

It is 9th day after FET. On the day 7, I had a faint line on the pregnancy test, only in the morning urine. Today it is much more faint, almost impossible to see, instead of getting thicker line. I am using sensitive dipsticks which are able to capture 10mui. My period missed 6 days. My fever is between 37.5-38C during the day. I didn't have any spotting. I have no breast soreness.

We called both GP and the clinic. Neighter of them agreed to make a blood test.

If I am pregnant, why my HCG is not rising up more?

If I am not pregnant, why am I missing period so long and burning with fever still?

Can anyone relate?

I’m sorry but when I had a line appear faint then disappear it was a chemical 😢

maybe a chemical, we had one with our first transfer. Second transfer we paid for a blood test, you can also go other places for head private tests other than your clinic x

Hi WaitingforGabriel. All you can do is to continue taking any prescribed medications including Folic Acid, vitamins and paracetamol while you need it, and text on the day recommended by your clinic. Don’t expect symptoms yet and bo anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen. Good luck. Diane

Wait until OTD to test. Testing beforehand only causes unnecessary stress. Also try not to get too caught up in symptom-spotting (easy for me to say, I know). These ‘symptoms’ are usually a result of the transfer procedure or Progesterone (it’s also the Progesterone that delays your period). Try and have a relaxing weekend and keep yourself busy. Wishing you lots of luck ❤️

Re the late period, did you do a natural or medicated FET? Only as the meds often delay or stop a period. But also if you have a BFP even if not especially strong, that hormone can still be in your body and preventing a period even if the pregnancy isn't viable, and can take a while to come down. Hopefully it's just that you're still quite early, and like others have said I wouldn't pay too much attention to symptoms or lack of just yet. If your clinic and GP won't do HCGs, there are usually private companies, including online, that you could try? But you'd ideally need to do two tests a couple of days apart to get an idea of what's going on.

I had FET in my normal cycle, without hormons. I have been only using progesteron tablets since the day of the transfer. Unfortunately, we don't have private sector to do tests in the Netherlands. It seems possible in the UK

Thank you for your kind support. We also wish that maybe it is early testing, but on the other hand, I see other people having thick red line on day 9 already

If you've been on progesterone from the day of transfer that would typically prevent or delay your period coming until you stop taking the meds, but then so would a BFP, so it may be a bit of a wait to see how it progresses. Hopefully your clinic will be able to support you from OTD. But it's a difficult wait.

Thank you so much! People like you, support us more than the clinic. That is so kind!
