Positive Test

[Ivf2023]

Hi,

I had my embryo transfer Friday 2nd, I’ve done a few tests over the past few days and they’ve had a faint but definitely a second line. Today I’ve done one and I couldn’t see any second line. Is this normal ?

Thank you

Could it be that you have been drinking lots of water and diluted your urine? It is hot today so maybe without realising you’re more hydrated than normal? xx

hey this happened to us on our first transfer and ended in a chemical, also happened with a dodgy test with our second ivf baby (currently refusing to sleep in his cot next to me . All the best xxx

It’s possible that the hormone levels might not be high enough to show up consistently yet, or there might be other factors at play. It’s also worth noting that different tests can have different sensitivities, which might explain the variation.

Testing again in a day or two might give you a clearer picture. Sending lots of positive thoughts. x

I believe testing first thing in the morning is recommended! Everything crossed for you xxxx

thank you all! I’ve got my blood test on Wednesday morning at the hospital so I’m going to try and hold off until then so I know for definite x

Depending on what trigger shot you had, it could be the HCG from that leaving your system. Mine was strong positive on a pregnancy test day after trigger (well before transfer) and took over a week to gradually fade.

Hopefully your true HCG from actual pregnancy will start to show as it’s own faint line that then starts to darken 🤞

Hi, I didn’t have any trigger shot this time, it was a frozen embryo, my first transfer I did have a trigger shot and it did come back a strong positive. I’ve done a few tests today and they all have the faint second line xx
