HPT? 7 days past retrieval, 4 days past transfer

Jill Wheat · October 2013

Hello,

I am really confused about these hpts! I did two tests yesterday both of which looked positive well enough that my husband admitted he saw the lines. Today I tried again in hopes that they are getting darker. It took a long while for them to develop this morning & the lines were not as clear to see, although still there. At 7 days past retrieval & 4 days past a 3 day transfer, do you think this is the HCG trigger shot fading or an implantation that didn't work out?

So yesterday morning I did an hpt which came out positive after it sat for a while. The Answer test strips do tend to take a while. Then I tried a Clear Blue easy in the afternoon which also had a very tiny positive, but you could definately see it. Today I did the Clear Blue & First Response 7 both of them were less than yesterday. I guess I could assume to different things from this: 1. my HCG trigger shot is still fading away or 2. a little one started to implant & then it didn't work out. I am now 4 days past a 3 day transfer, 7 days past retreival & 8.5 days past trigger. What do you all think? - See more at: https://www.justmommies.com/forums/f562-ttc-ivf/2677441-october-november-2013-ivf-fet-11.html#post27731588

I'm putting my money on the trigger since the line is fading away. I'm 5dp3dt and tested this morning just to see if my trigger was gone and got a little squinter. It's definitely too soon for real results right now, but soon! Hang in there!

This might help....

It's probably the trigger lingering, and if you did a 3dt, your embryo(s) haven't necessarily begun implanting yet.

For a 3dt, it's probably still the trigger. I read that you're not really supposed to test until 11 days until after trigger, so you can be sure it's out of your system.

You're technically only 7DPO right now, that's really, really, really early for a positive. The embies probably haven't implanted just yet...

I know how hard it is to be patient though!!

I don't have the trigger shot experience since we did an FET. However, I was all over the place trying to figure out if/when I could possibly POAS. I've read and seen that it can take as long as 14 days for the trigger to be totally out of your system. It sounds to me like it's been your trigger making its way out, especially since the line has been getting lighter. Also, like twists said, it's probably still too early for a 3dt to even be implanting yet - implantation usually happens at 6-10 days, and even then you might not get a line right away. Be patient and wait at least a few more days before testing again. I had a 6dt and didn't get a visible line until 4dp6dt, so hang in there. FX!

****Siggy Warning/PAIF****

I got my first slight line at 3dp3dt. It was very slight and required a lot of photo manipulation to see it - but it was there. It wasnt until 6dp3dt that no squinting, manipulation, or guessing was needed. I had tested out my trigger at 5dp trigger.

If you didnt test out your trigger shot, than it very well could be thats what you had.
I also noticed that early early on, the line would be darker one day and lighter the next. I chalked that up to variance in manufacturing.

I confirmed my results with Beta#1 at 9dp3dt.

If you can keep your sanity long enough, wait until 7dp3dt and test with a FRER. DO NOT use the digital test yet - it will be a waste of money. Dont use the blue ink tests either i had terrible luck with those.

Thank you, everyone. I just started a new sewing project to keep my mind off the hpt game - sort of.

****(warning bfp mentioned)

I'll share my experience. I did a hpt at 6dp3dt. It came back negative, not even a hint of a second line. That was 11 dp my trigger shot so I thought that was definitely long enough for it to be out of my body.

Once I got the bfn that day, I told myself to not take any more hpts as it was upsetting to me and my piece of mind. I also had blood three days later which was two days before my beta. It truly felt like AF starting as it seemed too late to be implantation bleeding. At that point I kinda freaked out and couldn't stop crying. For comfort, I went back to my IVF packet of instructions and it clearly stated to not do a hpt and do not be concerned if you have some blood. You must wait for your beta as confirmation.

So I did what I was supposed to and waited until the day of my beta for my official results. Low and behold they called and said it was positive.

Moral of the story, due what you are most comfortable with, however each of us is different and the true test is that beta we have to wait for.

GL and FX for you !!!!!!

Hang in there today Jill ! Thinking of you. How are you doing? How's your sewing project going?

Jill Wheat · October 2013

My symptoms are fading in some areas and growing stronger in others. It is hard for me to concentrate on my projects but I am trying. I know now that my hcg trigger is completely out as I took an hpt today that came out pure white where the other line belonged & have promised my husband that I will not take another test until Sunday which will be 11 days past retrieval.
