How soon after transfer did you get a BFP?

[Anonymous]

I did my first embryo transfer last Tuesday, and am supposed to get a pregnancy test (blood draw) next Tuesday (14 days post-transfer). I will probably do some urine tests before that, and am just wondering how soon after transfer others have gotten a positive result.

TIA!

It depends on whether you transferred 3, 5 or 6 day embryos/blastocysts.

This chart shows median hCG values for different days past ovulation (in the case of IVF, the day of egg retreival is considered the day of ovulation): http://www.betabase.info/showBasicChart.php?type=Single

Most home pregnancy tests will detect hCG levels of about 20-25, although some detect lesser amounts, and some need a higher amount to register a positive, so most people who are pregnant would get a positive home pregnancy test at about 11-13 days after egg retrieval, although hcG values vary so much that you could be pregnant and get a positive test earlier and in some cases, much later.

For my cycle that finally worked, I got a faint BFP about 4 days after a day-6 transfer. The line kept getting darker and was very dark by the time I went in for my beta (18 days after retrieval). I transferred two and am pregnant with one. Very best of luck to you!!

OP here. Thank you for the replies. Mine was a day-three transfer, so that puts me at 12 DPO...I'll try testing tomorrow! My fingers are crossed...

good luck!!

During the 2 IVF cycles that I did that resulted in pregnancy (one twin, one singleton), I had positive hpts 5 days post the 5 day transfers.

This makes sense because it was essentially 10 days post ovulation or 4 days before "a missed period" which is what the early pregancy tests claim to be sensitive for.

Given you had a 3 day transfer, I would think you could begin to test at 7 days post transfer while bearing in mind that it is still very early. Lots of women have negative results 4 days before a missed period just due to it being too early.

good luck!!!!

OP here...I tested this morning and it was negative (at 13 DPO)

So it doesn't look good...but maybe it's still a little early. I'll try again in a few days.

Thanks for your support!

I hope you have a late implanter and it was just too early!

A little beta inspiration although this is an unusual case:
My best friend from college was diagnosed with cancer at 32 (rare form in the bone) she was on lupron awaiting an IVF cycle at the time so her doctors kept her on it to spare her ovaries the effects of chemo. She underwent 4 horrific rounds of the worst types of chemo with the last round nearly killing her (on ventilator, massive infection). One year after her chemo she went back to her fertility doctor and was told she could try one round before moving to egg donation. Much to everyone's surprise she made 5-6 eggs and 4 fertilized and the RE transferred all 4 on day 3 (1-7 cell, 2-6 cells , 1 4 cell) . Her first beta 14 dpt was 29 and no one was hopeful that it could be a viable pregnancy, second beta - 51, and then they doubled from there. Her son is alive and well.

2:55...Thanks for sharing that lovely story.

To the 02:55 poster what kind of cancer as I have just being diagnosed woth a very rare bone cancer. Sorry to go off the topic

[Anonymous]

PP, she had an osteosarcoma in her fibula which they removed, apparently you only need a tibia to be able to walk. The cancer is usually in teenage boys and she was the oldest known case at the time of her diagnosis. She had treatment in Philadelphia, but she also consulted with Sloan Kettering in NYC. I wish you the best.

Hi- to the poster just diagnosed with the rare bone cancer, please be sure to check out http://www.fertilehope.org. It is a non-profit group that certifies the paperwork of young women diagnosed with cancer, so that certain fertility clinics will give you a discount on procedures. My husband and I paid $6500, rather than the regular $12k rate, to freeze embryos after I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at age 26. Shady Grove was kind to give us the discount, even though our incomes were above the rate mentioned in Fertile Hope's requirements.

For me, being diagnosed was the worst part. I was really surprised (and immensely thankful) to have any easy time on the treatment (a chemo regimen)- worked full-time, kept up my running routine and ran several races, kept up my regular appearance (thanks to a really good wig- well worth the expense in my opinion). Mentally, at points it was an emotional rollarcoaster, even with a highly curable cancer like Hodgkin's- but for many people it works out OK.

I wish you all the best in your treatment!
