7dp5dt medicated FET - squinter?!

hi all,

This is my first post.. after a 4 year break, we had a medicated FET 21/01/25 hoping for a sibling for our ICSI son born November 2018.. the embryo used last week is a Day 6 4BA - which they said thawed and expanded perfectly, lining all looked good etc.

Having had two failed transfers in 2021, I’d pretty much lost all hope in a sibling, but still had three Frosties. Turning 40 this year gave me the push to give it one last shot.

We lost one embryo to the thawing process last week, so with the embryo on board currently, we have one frostie remaining.

I’ve been keeping busy and trying not to test but I was pretty sure AF was on her way and couldn’t help but take an HCG test - not FMU, around 4pm, and I’m only 7dp5dt, but does anyone else see a squinter?

I’m taking Utrogestan 2x daily and Lubion 1 x daily and 3 x Progynova - could it be the meds?!

I definitely can see the line too 🤞🤞 keep us posted, cautious congratulations x

thank you Whatwillbewillbe_ and Allotmenteer16

I’ve done an HCG and clearblue test this morning (3.30am!) with FMU.

Clearblue came up quickly, HCG is still super faint… have since read that CB are known for false results?!

I’m 8dp5dt today..

There is no denying that clearblue result, I'd b surprised if that was a false positive! I found th strip tests were always quite faint for me even when 5 or 6 weeks pregnant. See if you can get yourself a first response they are the best especially for early testing!

Having had real and false results with clear blue this is defo not a false positive. The line is full and blue and very obvious. This is a proper positive 🤗 a digital early response one will give you it in words in the next day or so and hopefully put your mind at ease. I hope it’s a sticky one for you xxx

Ahh thank you so much. I sent my mind crazy reading about CB tests being unreliable! My test day is on Saturday, so not too much longer to wait.. I'll try and hold out another couple of days and try a digi one! Thank you! xx

just when I thought I’d get through this 2WW without becoming a POAS addict (who was I kidding!) I think hcg strip is getting slightly darker?

Does anyone know if Progynova, Utrogestan or Lubion can affect test results?

Hi,

I am new to this and on my first FET. I had OHSS back in October and had my first frozen embryo put back in on 22nd Jan. I am 7DP5DT.

I am getting cramps as though my period may be due for the past two days, your post has given me some hope as I had convinced myself that we had been unsuccessful.

Has anyone else had this experience. I am refusing to test until 4th Feb.

pleased to see what looks like a positive for you!!!

POAS again at 3.30am… 😬 I am in utter shock. Six years after having our son from NHS funded egg collection in 2017, I had literally given up all hope of him ever having a sibling. The only positive test we’ve had between 2012 (when I came off BC) and now is when I was pregnant with him… and now this!

I still feel like AF is about to knock at the door. Wow. This embryo is his sibling frozen in time from 2017… absolute magic!

Official test day is 1st Feb.. just two more days to get through!

Thank you everyone for your messages 🙏🏼💫

Absolutely delighted for you. That makes you exactly 4 weeks today. I had my FET on the 16th so I a few days ahead of you and I’m also a serial tester🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Anyway, I did this test last nite at stupid o’clock too. I’m currently 14dp5t

Ahh thank you so much, and wishing you a healthy pregnancy too - it's so magical, isn't it? Is this your first pregnancy? It's been 7 years since I was here with my son, so I feel like a newbie again! 💫
