Thank you for your comments. I feel encouraged. Today is only Day 7 after the transfer. I took a hpt this morning and it was negative...BUT I went in for my first blood test today as well, and the lab stated it may be too soon to tell with hpt. Last IVF cycle, I took the hpt on day 9 ...so 2 more days to stay patient. Next blood test on Thursday. The lab will not tell me a thing until after Thursday's blood test...to be continued :)
I had donor eggs, and tested 8 days after transfer (blood test) and it showed negative. 10 days after transfer, a urine test showed positive. 11 days after transfer, blood test showed positive too. 5 to 6 days after transfer sounds pretty optimistic.
I am using donor eggs : ) I m/c'd after our first transfer, but am gettin back into things again. You can probably start testing about 5-6 days after transfer on a 5 day transfer. A + may not show up that early, but any + you get will be accurate.
Good Luck and Sticky Baby Dust!
