7 days post transfer negative test

[Glasscot]

hi,

I had an embryo transfer now 8 days ago. I tested yesterday afternoon at day 7. I wish I hadn’t because it was negative and it’s made me so sad. I am supposed to test on day 10.

I had really sore and swollen boobs a few days ago but that’s disappeared. I have mild cramping and sore lower back which comes and goes. I just feel so hopeless that my period may be coming. It’s so hard to stay positive when I just feel like crying and speaking to no one.

I hope all your journeys are going well during this unbearable time.

Hi lovely,

Its so hard because the symptoms are often caused by the meds - so there is really no way of knowing.

However I have seen a lot of people on here getting late positives - you might be lucky.

Hang in there xx

Thank you. It’s just so difficult to stay positive. I hope we are lucky but I feel all I do now is hope and it’s always makes the disappointment harder to take xxx

[Millbanks in reply to Glasscot]

It does, but you have to have a bit of hope, otherwise why would you be doing it.

I find that I try to teeter along somewhere between hopeful and negative - it's very hard though xx

Hi Glasscot I feel you. I'm in the same position but I didn't test yet. I'm due to test in 3 days. I'm a wreck of anxiety and feeling like this is not worth doing anymore. I'm not sure I'm the right person to cheer you up but just know you're not alone. I am at work and it is so hard. How can women do this? We're truly amazing individuals

Feel free to message me if you wanna vent!

[Glasscot in reply to Swimming87]

Thank you so much for replying. I have no idea how women do it, I feel like I’m hanging on by a thread. I’m working through it too, and it’s so hard to concentrate when you’re an out of anxiety. I feel for you too.

I’m wishing you all the luck in the world xxx

Thank you, you too. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!

no help but just to say good luck and I’m in exactly the same boat. Had nausea so thought if I have nausea surely that means enough hcg to show up on a test. Did a frer on 7dp5dt and was a bnf im so gutted. Waiting till official test day which is the 7th March but lost a lot of hope now. This journey is just the worst. I’m a natural cycle with progesterone suppositories and my period is actually due today so another reason why I tested early. Confused why my official test day would be cycle day 31 but the clinic know better I guess. So waiting for AF to show or hang out till Friday to test.

to add I read this and it’s fed my delusion a bit elite-ivf.com/after-embryo-...

hello! It’s awful to live between hope and the unknown. I don’t know much about late implantation but just wanted to say, I had no symptoms at all for either of my IVF pregnancies. I didn’t test on either just popped to the clinic on test day for blood tests. I too, just knew it didn’t work so always treated myself to a coffee and an almond crossiant on my way back to the office! I even skipped meds on tests day because I thought I knew it didn’t work -so didn’t bother with it can you imagine the panic when they called to say it was a positive!! I just couldn’t believe I was so wrong I honestly thought surely I would know if I was pregnant… so don’t worry about symptoms or lack off - even if you are producing HCG - it’s might be too low to detect - take your meds and get on with your life as best as you can do all the stuff that you like makes you happy etc

We can deal with the outcome/next steps when we know for sure…

I have been on this site for about 10 years and eventually we all get there…(a bloody rough and painful journey but we get there eventually)
