home pregnancy test after ivf possibly correct?

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?

BFN with the IVF- the thought of doing this again is way too overwhelming.

Hello all! I am a Gestational Carrier and we had embryo transfer on Jan 28th. if i were to have taken a urine pregnancy test today, would it come back positive and if it did would it be accurate at this stage of the wait? i am to take my blood test next wednesday but have been testing by urine since yesterday and today i got a positive. the only medications i have taken are estrogen, progesterone and lupron so no hcg in my system to trick it out. what are your thoughts?

Hi everyone, I am so happy to find this forum!  The postings are very helpful as many of the symptoms and emotions that I am going through.. I know now that I am not alone.  
My retrieval day was on monday 1/24 and they did the transfer on day 2.  I was so worry about the day 2 transfer because i was told they usually transfer on day 3 or 5.  Out of 23 eggs, only 3 were fertilized, quite discouraging.  But  I hope and pray that the two they transferred inside of me stays.  I was told not to take a home pregnancy test but wasnt told why.  I wish i found this website sooner.  Anyhow, I gave into my anxiety and took the home preg test and it was NEGATIVE today  So now I am so sad.  My blood draw day is on this coming monday 2/7,  I hope and pray that it was negative in error.  Best of luck to all and thank you all for sharing your stories.

I got my period today, a very sad day day 7 after transfer. People are right when they say you know your body as I had a feeling the period pains were real.
Best of luck to all still waiting.
