negative test
Hi everyone! I just did what you are not supposed to do. I took a pregnancy test after having a 5 day balst. It is my 6th day after. It came back negative...not even a faint line for a positive. Has anyone ever had this happen and later have a positive test? I feel so discouraged!!

I've been in disbelief all afternoon as today is day 11 after my frozen embryo transfer which were 2x day 5 blastocyst embryos but my beta blood tests came back negative yet I have been feeling really good this time round and mentally convinced myself I am pregnant with twins after reading everything I can on the net I think its time to come to terms with the fact there's no chance I am feeling sad and very dissapointed why is it so hard and costly for us to have what so many undeserving parents have they should let couples wanting children get the help for free
You're so welcome! I hope it helps put your mind at ease, at least a little. And BEST of LUCK to you!! Keep us posted!

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
And ... turns out I did, in fact, test too early. I went in for my beta blood test on day 9 and it was positive and now I'm almost 25 weeks pregnant!! GOOD LUCK to you!!!
