Cycle #5 tested negative 8dp5dt. Is it over for me?

[Mikki100]

Tomorrow is mother's day in the UK so I wanted to test today. I'm cooking Sunday lunch for my extended family tomorrow and I just thought either wait until Monday or test today. It ended up being today and it was negative with the second pee of the day. I'm absolutely gutted and trying to hold it together until after the weekend.My clinic only accepts blood test results, so I'm having that on Monday.

The only thing stopping me from completely breaking down is the sliver of hope that it implanted late. Am I being delusional?

So sorry Mikki100. I tested negative yesterday in my 5th cycle too, and it is a brutal weekend for it. I was 15dp5dt on my OTD though so no dubeity for me. On the chances of it being wrong - 8dp5dt is quite early and wasn't FMU so there is still a chance and you should definitely keep following guidelines until your clinic says otherwise x

[Mikki100 in reply to WillowPark]

Thanks I will. I always read about some women getting a positive 4dpt so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm sorry you tested negative.. this journey is so exhausting and heartbreaking. I think deep down I know I'm out, but I'll keep plodding along until OTD and hold back the tears until everyone's gone tomorrow x

Some do get a reaction very early but there must be a reason test dates are when they are - and we have all heard stories (including non-IVF stories) of people taking tests around the period date and getting a negative and then a week later getting a positive. I'll keep everything crossed that is you. Hope you can park the negative thoughts and enjoy tomorrow x

Definitely isn't over. They give official test date for later for good reason. Keep dreaming and believing its not over yet. Xx

Thank you x

hello, I didn’t get my 1st very very faint positive until 9DP5DT and even then you could barely see it x I read the same as you about women getting 4DPT positives and it really set me back, comparison is the worst thing in this whole process yet you can’t help but do it x lots of love 🙏🏼🤞🏼x

[Mikki100 in reply to Kate-92]

Thank you. This gives me hope! 🙏

[TeeRu in reply to Kate-92]

Were you using first response or another early detection home test?

I've been using first response and on 8dp5dt and negative. Not even the faintest line 😫

[Kate-92 in reply to TeeRu]

I used some cheap early detection tests off Amazon that detect at 10mlU - wondfo they were & I found them very reliable. The frequency I was testing I couldn’t go through first response at that level, but I also didn’t rate first response ! X

that’s how faint it was on day 9 x

I'm not buying any more first response tests. End up spending so much and then keep seeing negatives which is like a double blow. Just going to wait until my OTD now which is this Friday.

thank you for replying though, really appreciate it! I know it's been a while since your post and hope everything went well for you ✨ x

[Mikki100 in reply to TeeRu]

Unfortunately it was negative as was the next cycle. I'm regrouping and doing a META test to see if my timings are off before giving it another go . It's so hard and I'm not getting any younger, 47 next year. But I'll see what the results are and plan a cycle off the back of that x

[TeeRu in reply to Mikki100]

Sorry to hear it didn't go as you had wished. Sending you so much prayer ❤️. The heartache is at times unbearable 💔 xx

[Mikki100 in reply to TeeRu]

Thank you ❤️ it is truly devastating. Good luck this Friday.. I pray it's good news xx

[Mikki100 in reply to TeeRu]

I used first response and clear blue, but it was negative.. which the blood test confirmed a few days later. Good luck with the next cycle xx

[TeeRu in reply to Mikki100]

Thank you. My bloods were negative. Was devastated but just had to accept that it wasn't my time. Going to have a think and decide if I want to wait or go for a frozen transfer in a months time. Praying your journey is easy ❤️ x

[Mikki100 in reply to TeeRu]

Sorry it wasn't positive ❤️ I pray the next one is successful for you 🤗

your not delusional, your staying positive🤞 Good luck

[Mikki100]

Thank you!

Sorry you're going through this, but I do think it maybe too early - I'm also 9dp5dt today & my clinic don't want me to test until next Sat! Always feels a horribly long wait but I've had 4 early losses/ chemical pregnancies so always I try to hold out as long as possible. I'm actually sort of terrified to test as don't want it to be over!

[Mikki100]

Wow! Next Saturday is a long time time! My clinic only wants hcg blood test results. OTD is tomorrow, but I'll probably push back to Tuesday because I can't face it. I've swung from one extreme to the next. Good luck to you x 🙏

[Jess2360]

Hi Mikki100, I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I tested on Saturday 8dp5dt FET and it was BFN. Ever since then I've been scouring the internet looking for examples of BFN at that stage turning into BFP. My OTD is tomorrow.

Good look for your blood test. X

[Mikki100]

Thank you. I tested this morning 10dpt and it was negative so I'm out. But my clinic insists on a blood test so I'll do that tomorrow. I really hope it's good news for you tomorrow x

How did your blood test go. Im in same boat at the moment😣
