home pregnancy test after ivf possibly correct?

I did egg retrieval on 6/10.  ovidrel(hcg)shot on 6/8.  blastocyst transfer on 6/15.  i know they tell you not to take a home test, but i couldn't help myself.  I thought maybe if i took one every couple of days, the results might be more accurate.  i took a test 6/18 was negative.  today 6/21  tested positive.  Is it even possible?

To All,

Some of you may remember me from early July I had just completed my first attempt at IVF with two grade A embryos and it failed.  I was a complete mess!!!  i took the summer off to collect myself.  I started actupunture which i really like!  I have to embryos frozen and am in the middle of my 2nd attempt.  Today i had blood and sono and i should be scheduled by the end of this month for the transfer i will most likely find out today.  

I need help ....im trying to stay positive but i cant.  i thought i was ok mentally but i see myself going back to how i was a couple of months ago with my first attempt?  what can i do to stay posittive?  I did buy a yoga mat so maybe i can start that?  

i read all these posts and i just hate that we all have to deal with this and it's so annoying that for most of us including me this isnt something covered under insurance which just adds to the stress.    

what i do know is that without reading the responses on this board after my first failed attempt there was no way i would have gotten through it!!!  i appreciate any help i can get.  

wishing all of you the best!

Just did my embryo transfer last Friday and anxiously awaiting the results! Does anyone know if a home pregnancy would be accurate if you have done IVF or is a blood test more accurate?
Also I have 600 units of Puregon and an unopened Lupron if anyone is interested in purchasing from me at a lower cost than what I actually paid.

Gemini1965 switch over to this forumn as 90% of the ladies already did.  Good luck on your BETA.  I am believing and you should as well.

Hi, I cheated and did a hpd one time and I thought I had a faint bpf.  I will keep you in my prayers in hope that all of us who are testing receive bfp tomorrow.  Keep me updated.
