2WW - Am I going Crazy! 6dp5dt

[Anonymous]

Hi All. xx

I'm currently 6dp5dt. this is my first IVF Cycle and used a fresh embryo. (none to freeze which is a real bummer!) both fallopian tubes are blocked and high FSH level.

I've been testing like a crazy lady and on 3dp5dt I POAS (FRER) and it was negative. I assumed it was too early.. However when I looked at the test on day 5 it had actually got a very faint line. (visable for sure) (Day 1 and 2 were negative) I'm now on day 6 and this morning I got a BFN on a cheap HPT. I'm so confused. and this 2WW is actually driving me crazy!

I feel pregnant, I guess that's why I'm so heart broken everytime I see a BFN.

I have had lots of cramping and tugging in the uterous, lower back aches, a slight wave of naseua (nothing extreme) I'm weeing more freuently and my nipples are extremely sore.

Do u think the day 3 faint BFP was teh trigger shot (5000 iu of Gonasi)

This is most definately the hardest thing I've ever done - One minute I am sure i'm pregnant, next minute, I'm convienced i'm not and crying my eyes out!

I'm losing hope fast

Wishing you all baby dust! xxx

Step away from the tests. It's still too early and you will make yourself crazy overanalyzing this. Try to keep yourself busy with something else.

Hang in there.

Thanks for the advice! I know I should stay away from the test's - It's just soooo addictive LOL

And more more thing: step away from the internet. It will also make you crazy. Go read a book, clean out a closet or volunteer at a food bank. Or go to work and finish every project you've been putting off. Just stay away from HPTs and the internet.

Ha-ha!! I'm reading articles on the internet at least 50 times a day.. It appears to be another addiction LOL.

I would use FRERs instead of cheap internet HPTs

11dpo is not too early. I'd take another test to calm the crazies, but only use an FRER. PIO is bitch and will mimic a lot of symptoms. GL to you and report back!

Good luck OP. Don't trust anything other than blood work.

I don't get any blood tests, I've just been told to take a HPT on 17/08 and then call my clinic with the result. If it's positive then I will have a scan 3 weeks later

Stay away from the tests and hang in there!

Thanks for all the advice girls!

I'll wait two more days and then use an FRER Fingers crossed for a BFP.

Is anyone on the same cycle dates as me?

Which clinic is this? IVF cycles always involve blood work to test beta hcg.

FWIW, my understanding is that a lot of the bloodwork requirements are a very American thing, meaning that some foreign clinics do little bloodwork during a cycle and rely more on ultrasounds and home pregnancy testing.

For your sanity, don't test, and don't try to guess what your symptoms mean. I had no symptoms with BFPs, and symptoms with BFNs, and visa versa, and really, you just can't tell this early. Try to do anything to not think about it until the date you are supposed to take the test. I know it's hard. Watch bad movies, go out with (baby free) friends, start a home renovation project, anything to keep yourself distracted.
