home pregnancy test after ivf possibly correct?

[dixiegal1]

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?

Day 3 embryos, i know i shouldnt worry, this 2ww is awful hey . I feel pregs though, so i know i just have to stay positive and believe all is fine. I haven't had any bleed had a few cramps around day 4-5 . I'll try not to take another hpt and just wait it out for the bloods.

But i will defo post back. x

Did you transfer blasts or 3-day FETs?

Day 9 is too early to test even for blasts (officially)... I think day 10 is considered "high enough HCG levels exist to show up on an HPT" ... so try not to worry. Your HCG levels may be lower this time around and not showing up yet on a HPT, which would be perfectly normal.

good luck!

Hi ladys,

Ive just completed my 2nd FET. last tues i had 2 transfered my 1st try at this was a success.
I got a BFP 6 days after FET on my first try and this time i have done hpt, all BFN although one looked like it had something on it,
My god this 2ww is so tough. I cant explain how nervous i am. I want this so bad after several misscarriages lately.
But i am reading that many ppl dont test BFP so soon after a 3 day transfer?  but this is now day 9. 5 more days till blood test. I NEED HOPE!!! I feel pregs just pray i am,
tes x

Glad to see that your positive attitude is back to stay! :)

Yeah, the chromosomal issue is a big relief for me with using DE. and it sounds like your only concern is the waiting. And, somehow, I just absolutely belief that you're not going to be waiting that long. Even just over forums, we can all see how passionate you are about being a mother and what a great mom you'll be -- so I am sure that some woman or couple are going to be thrilled to donate their embryos to you. I'm so excited for you!

Keep us updated on how it goes. take care.

i really admire ur determination...great we have to be in dat spirit to get a baby... wat matters is a baby in our hands...so i'll also not stop till i get my goal...today i got a call 4m one of my frens who said i cud use her embryos(frozen) ...but i want an anonymous donor...jus to avoid certain things which might prop up in d future....

Thank you...I am glad to hear i am an inspiration because that is how i usually am and last week was not like me at all!!! I shall never give up...none of us shall ever give up because we can ALL achieve our dreams! And you will too!!!

I actually have a lead from someone I know...I am praying that this woman has embryos to donate!!!! If not i know i will find on Miracles waiting.

Cute Poppy:
I think the doctors are right. If i were in my 30's it would be different. But because i am 43...half way to 44 already the chances of chromosomal abnormalities is high and I don't want to take that chance. I don't want to go through all of this, finally get pregnant only to have a MC or have a child with special needs because of my age. It is not something i could do on my own. With a donor embryo my age is not a factor...it is the age of those eggs that matter so that is what i am going to do...it feels like the right decision. I know i will find a donor soon and will be pregnant within the year!!!! And yes it does cost loss where i live. It is only $2000 for an embryo transfer. If you go through embryo adoption sites than yes the cost is higher but that is not my plan. I am going to a forum where donors and recipients search for each other. it costs nothing more than lawyer fees and maybe a plane ride to meet and the cost of having the embryo transferred to my clinic. nowhere near 12,000 I assure you!!!
