Day 5 Transter question

[piapie]

Hi, we used an egg donor and last Saturday was my transfer (day 5) today, Monday, I took a pregnancy test and it's Negative. Is this really true? My official bloodwork is on August 8. It's just really sad and frustrating after all the excitement, preparation and expense. 2 embryo's were transfered. Not sure what to expect and I'm still on bedrest. Please provide your experience/expertise.

This information will probably be helpful to you.  It sure was to me when I was in your same boat! :)  We also transferred a day 5 blast.  Now we're 26 weeks pregnant!

(You tested too early, btw.  Here's some really helpful info:)


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

WAY TOOO early to test! If you did a day 5 transfer and your beta is on the 8th... I'd say test with a hpt no EARLIER than Sat/Sun for best results. Even then your levels might be too low to register so if the hpt is still negative- don't lose hope! Beta is the most accurate! SSBD!

Did you do a 3 day or a 5 day transfer?  It may be just toooo early to test....Sending you tons of baby dust!!! : )
