FET - when did you get a BFP on HPT?

Hi everyone! 

I used to be a regular poster while going through treatment and early in pregnancy.  I haven't been on in over a year and can't remember any of my old account details now.  I have a seven month old from a successful first IVF (MFI, endo, PCO, blocked tube).  Yikes, it's been awhile since I've typed something that looks so much like an eyechart.  We were fortunate enough to have six snow babies and last Monday we transferred two.  Today I'm 6dp3dt.

I'm finding it much harder to manage this wait mentally than I did the last time.  For my IVF cycle I made it to 14dp3dt.  That's when I'm scheduled to go in for beta again this time, and I don't think I'll be able to wait that long. 

If you had a successful FET, how early did you get your positive on a stick?

And I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong place, or a really annoying question.  I never really spent time on this board, so I'm not familiar with the dynamic here.  I'm just going nuts and would love some feedback from some women who might have some insight for me.  Google's been useless.

    With my FET I never did a HPT, but I did get a very high beta on 9dpt.

    Good luck to you!

    I always thought the number of replies to FET posts were kind of low when I was looking for thoughts on mine. I don't have an answer for you though- I waited until beta at 14dp5dt. It was a hard wait though- Father's day was two days before our beta and I was just about crawling the walls wanting to test early.

    On one hand, my IVF BFN was absolutely heartbreaking and I am very very glad I didn't test early and draw out the pain over several days. On the other hand, I could have tested earlier on this FET and saved myself some worry since it would have been positive days before my beta. I think waiting was probably best even if I worried more. Better to worry for a couple of day than drag out sadness longer than absolutely necessary.

    I was able to see a SUPER faint line on a HPT at 5 dpt (we transferred 2 5-day blasts, got pregnant with a singleton).  Good luck!

    7 days past a 5 day transfer, but I'm having triplets, so my HCG levels were probably higher than average.

    Our FET was the only cycle that we didn't test at home, but I had a pretty high beta at 9dp5dt.  I bet I would have had  a + at 5dpt.  Good luck!

    Thank you all so much for your replies!

    We're leaving town Thursday morning and taking an extended long weekend.  My beta is scheduled for July 4th (nice timing, right?) and the last time I had a beta scheduled for the end of a long weekend I just couldn't enjoy myself at all.  I was so stressed and just wanted to get the time over with.  I'm torn between being sad all weekend if I get negative HPTs or being stressed all weekend with the unknown. I'll probably hold out till Wednesday or Thursday morning.  Then I'll be the equivalent of 12 or 13dpo.

    I just have trouble getting out of my head that given that we put two beautiful embryos in seven days ago that if they were going to stick, they'd have done it by now.  It really makes me want to run out to the store.  I don't know why this wait has me so much antsier than previous waits.

    At 5dp 5dt, I had a postive on a CVS own brand. I think the test may have been faulty though because at 6dp 5dt I had a very clear negative on a FRER.

    At 7dp 5dt, I started getting positives. If I could go back in time, i wish I'd held out until at least 8dp to test at home, as those couple of days of positives and negatives were torture.

    Good Luck to you!
