First Post, First IVF & First BFP

Hi everyone,

Im 39 yrs, I have two kids from my previous. I have been trying for 2 year with my dh. We did our first IVF and got BFP on day 14 of embryo transfer. We had 3 embryos transferred on Dec 2nd. The first HcG was 16. Today is day 17 and I have 2nd blood work tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on the results.

My question is that how is it possible to get 16 HcG on day 14 and just two days later get neg. on 3 different HPT's. I'll find out for sure tomorrow but has this happened to anyone else? Is it normal to show pos. on blood test and then neg. on HPT?

SS

I am so very sorry...  I guess this was a chemical pregnancy.  I hope your second ivf bring a sticky bfp.
Hang in there!

So sorry about your test result. Hang in there... I got a negative too last month with IUI and am trying a second cycle right away. The test time is the most difficult, its nerve wrecking to be guessing and guessing whether is a BFP or a BFN.
Hugs and best wishes...

Ok. Just got my 2nd Beta results back and its NEGATIVE. The Hcg level is below 5 :( It didnot work for us. Well I just wanted to keep you posted. I will definitely have another go at IVF but just wish we know the cause of infertility in us.

The doctor asked me to stop taking the Progesterone suppositories (Cyclogest 400mg) that i was taking twice a day. Have an apointment on Wednesday.

That was the end of my ivf cycle #1 :(

I am going thru the process of my first IVF also which was just done & i also was just confirmed postive. I am not that familiar with the numbers.
I would say since it's a low number the HCG is just beginning to build up on & maybe your embryo was implanted late.  When is your 2nd Beta?
Please try & stay calm.  We just never know what happens with these #'s

A friend of mine knows someone who did IVF who started off with 16 & now currently has a baby.

My #s were 84, & 154 & compared to all the other #'s on here I am seeing...I was the low one because everyone else is 200 thru 400.
The bottom line is we got the positive....so lets wait & see.  The blood can tell more then we know.

Thanks Helen72. My doctor told me that on day 14 of embryo transfer HcG level of 16 on first beta is considers a positive for pregnancy. Below 5 is not pregnant. I followed his instructions and did not do any HPT during my 2ww and thought since now I got BFP I will get a deffinite positive on my first HPT. I searced the web and did not find anyone else with the same situation where HPT comes out negative 2 days after the BFP.

I'm very sad and dont know what to think of these negatives. I checked the 3rd and the last one just few minutes ago which I took couple of hours ago and I see a faded line.

Hate my situation at the moment and this day would not end. I need help!!

16 is a pretty low level for day 14.  If HPT's show negative your hcg level probably went down rather than up.  You will know for sure tomorrow.
Good luck hon!
