Pregnancy test line progression?

[SD5117]

Hi,

We are on our 6th round of ivf. Second transfer - frozen hatching embryo. We started testing day 4 (evening) and it is now day 6.

We took ovidrel 250 13 days ago- could this line be the trigger?

We are also wondering if its chemical as it came up early and we are paranoid it is slightly fading! We have took another brand which is an extremely light line and one basically negative.

would love to hear everyone thoughts? We are driving ourselves crazy with all the what ifs!

It's not the trigger as it's been getting darker, so it's a BFP which is great news. But difficult to tell on progression as the lines depend on so many factors - time of day, urine concentration etc. Mine were always darker on 2MU and in the afternoon than FMU which scared me at first. You could wait a couple of days and compare then but only way to get answers really is to do blood HCGs, ideally two days apart.

looking good so far, definite progression and a good line for day 6! Too early to tell anything else as it’s only been 2 days and the tests will be dependant on urine concentration at this point but absolutely no reason to stress 🤗 (although I always do!) hoping it progresses well for you 💜 xx

Compare your first test with your last test 2 days later and that's the doubling time for hcg. I think it looks great and a strong line

I found my tests were lighter in the morning & darker in the evening so I used to compare am & pm by day in lines to check progression to be sure it was getting darker. If you do this you can also check the 48 hr progression as mentioned by RACMumm. For day 4 to day 6 testing these lines look good - mine weren’t like this until much later x wishing you all the best 💞
