I am 9dp5dt today, I tested this morning and we’ve got a BFP! I really want to be excited but instead I’m terrified as our transfer in April ended in a chemical 🙁
Today’s line is definitely darker than when we had our chemical, I wondered if anyone who has tested at a similar point (or had more experience with positive pregnancy tests!) could tell me how this line compares? Is it dark enough?
Thank you in advance!

Hey, the positive is looking good. I’m exactly in the same boat. April had chemical and yesterday (9dp5dt) got my positive but not the darkest. I would have tested after 48hrs but as it’s OTD today and I need to let the clinic know I tested this morning and had very slightly increase in colour which is reassuring. I know how difficult this must be, but from what all the lovely ladies here had reassured me with is that the HCG should be increasing that’s what matters. Have everything crossed for you xx good luck xx
They will be doing a blood test in a week! 😩 how about you? I guess I will just be testing every two days and keeping a positive mind for a week…I just went and collected extra weeks worth of meds. And a letter for my GP to provide a prescription for progesterone for 12 weeks 😐… I do really hope this works for the both of us xx
A week feels so far away 🙈 I had a blood test this afternoon so will get the results in the morning. I feel like I’m going to be testing everyday just to check!
I actually need to ask them about a prescription for more meds, I’ll run out at some point very soon. I didn’t realise they could get your GP to prescribe progesterone?? Are you having a NHS/private round? Xx
The GP letter, mentions that as I’m ‘officially pregnant’ I’m no longer being treated for infertility by my clinic and currently come under my GP care and to prescribe me with progesterone. I’m on my private round. I had to pay for the weeks worth of meds ( Lubion, delatapharin etc) but in terms of the 12 weeks worth of pessaries my GP will need to prescribe me this. I did think it’s a bit soon for all the GP letter right? maybe worth asking you consultant about this? That’s if you require it.
All the best with the blood result. no matter what the numbers are or how dark the line is, you are currently pregnant xx
Looks good to me 🍀🍀 same happened to me, I had a blighted ovum where the line didn’t really progress and then the next cycle, line looked a bit the same but then got darker at 12-13dp5dt. Your line looks strong 🍀🍀
After nearly exhausting the UK supply of pregnancy tests over the years(!) I think it's really hard to say based on just one line as what you're after is for it to get darker and even then they can be influenced by so many factors. I've had three losses after transfers and some were good lines and darkening and one faint to begin with and didn't change much. It was hard to distinguish from the two that were successful. You can keep testing and lots of women do (on a couple I was doing it twice a day with different brands!) but the only way to tell really at this stage is to get HCGs done and repeated about 2 days later. Or you can be one of the more sane people and just enjoy the positive and assume it will work amd wait for a scan but I think I bypassed sanity in IVF a while back 😉
My sanity is hanging on by a thread 😂 I completely hear what you’re saying, probably the rationality I needed! I have a blood test later and will keep testing xx
Congratulations on your positive. I also tested positive and had concerns about the faintness of the line. Fingers crossed that both our pregnancies progress as they should! This whole thing is a worry isn’t it 🥺. Picture of my test attached for reference.. xx
I also got positive on Monday, I tested from probably Thursday which was 7 days post transfer and it got darker, I feel the same as I had previous miscarriages not with IVF , first positive with IVF. I would say just enjoy the positive doing test or HCG is not going to change the out come as even at highest HCG which had before it ended in miscarriage, it’s super hard not to be anxious I did another test on 14dpt to see the positive again as I just keep thinking is it’s gone. I have everything crossed for you and myself to have this baby soon x
I put some pic of my test too it got very dark on day 12 and 14 can’t add pic
