Hi , I just had a frozen embryo transfer on may 3  i follow up on may 12 for a blood test I cant sleep wondering if the test is going to be negative i cant take the wait im on day 4  just did a HPT its negative did i take it to early or is it correct

When I had my 5-day FET, I was wondering how early was too early to test also.  I tested 5 days post transfer with a hpt and got a negative.  But both of my betas were positive, so it must have been too early.  Now I am 14 weeks pregnant! :)

During this time, my friend sent me the following information, which was SUPER helpful!  Hopefully it will help you too.

Best of luck and lots of baby dust!!



What Happens After an Embryo Transfer?
Once you complete your embryo transfer, you will have approximately 1½ weeks to wait before a pregnancy can be detected. The following tables outline an approximate timeline for what happens during a successful pregnancy after a 3-day transfer (3dt) and a 5-day transfer (5dt).

3-Day Transfer

One
The embryo continues to grow and develop, turning from a 6-8 cell embryo into a morula

Two
The cells of the morula continue to divide, developing into a blastocyst

Three
The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell

Four
The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus

Five
The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation

Six
Implantation continues

Seven
Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop

Eight
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream

Nine
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted

Ten
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted  

Eleven
Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy



5-Day Transfer

One
The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell

Two
The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus

Three
The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation

Four
Implantation continues

Five
Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop

Six
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream

Seven
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted

Eight
Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted

Nine
Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy

hi....
I think it may be too soon for a hpt. I know how you feel. The waiting is a killer. I nearly went crazing waiting for my day to come. My first IVF cycle failed and my second which was a frozen so far so good. I got my BFP on 5/3 actually and will be going for my first u/s on 5/10. Although we all have different experiences, for me, I started cramping around the 2 or 3rd day after my transfer. So you never know. Try and not lose faith and as diffucult as it may be, try to remain positive. I was so sure that I was going to get a negative and to my surprise, well, I did not.... So hang in there. Just a few more days. I will keep you in my prayers. Best of luck to you........lots of baby dust........
