[louou1121]

Hello all,
Going through 1st IVF.  had 4 IUI and decided to give ivf a shot.  This 2 ww period is torture.  Just did a home pregnancy test a few minutes ago and it was negative.  Only sympton I have had are mild menstrual cramps a few days ago, and today really feel like my period is coming.  Have my blood preg test tomorrow.  Anybody test negative with HPT the day before a blood test???
Thanks for any info.

Oooh oooh - I did... I took HPTs from day 6 on (after a 5dt IVF) and they were all negative... Even the morning of my blood test - HPT was negative... Had the blood test, all bummed out, and my beta was 76!!! POSITIVE!!!  DD just turned two!!!

Going through first IVF also, how did your blood test turn out?  I had a negative HPT this morning but my blood test isn't for two more days.  Really nervous! No symptoms at all?  Is that normal?

I had embryo transfer 5 days ago,  2 top grade embryos. I did a home pregnancy test today and came out negative.
Is there still a chance of pregnancy?

any info would be greatly appreciated as it's very difficult to stay positive.
thanks,

Hope this helps...

3 Day and 5 Day Transfers
For those who are on their TWW and want to know what is going on in there here is a list for 3 and 5 day transfers.

This is what happens in a 5dt:

-1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells & fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on HPT

this is what happens in a 3dt :

1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely implanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on
HPT

On a 5 day transfer, you write that HCG levels will be high enough to be immediately picked up on HPT.  --If I'm not mistaken, it DOES depend of the sensitivity of the HPT, as they vary from brand to brand. --Correct?

Which OTC brands do you suggest?  --I've found a few online that detect as low as 20-25, but it's too late for me to order them --beta is tomorrow. Which means I would have to wait 4 days after fertilization to get a positive.  (since HCG increases by 25 every day.)  

This is my first IVF, using donor egg, 5 day transfer.  (2 blasts)

Good luck to everyone.

I can tell you I test on the day before my beta and mine was neg.  My beta was positive though.  My level was only a 9 and no hpt will detect that.  I ended with a neg beta by the time of my next beta.

You are correct on the HCG levels - http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html


Most hpt will tell you the level they measure.  You can get an early detection hpt just about anywhere look for one that measure around 20.  If it is neg then you will have to wait for your beta to confirm.

Best of luck with the Beta and let me know how it goes!
