Did a fresh transfer 6 days ago, on a 5 day embryo. When should I start testing at home? My bloodwork isn’t until 6 more days. I did have a trigger shot with hcg (13 days ago.)

Best to wait for the test your doctor recommenda

Just do the blood test
Also, there are instances when the urine is positive but it ends up being chemical

Could go either way. Just do your drugs and do the blood test- that one will be conclusive because you have to be at a certain level but also it needs to be doubling

Also, please don’t take a negative home result as gospel. It can be crushing to get a negative result, but it may just not be showing up yet. Sending love and baby dust.

Thank you. That is my fear. Not ready to have my heart crushed yet. But I think that by day 8 post transfer it should be showing?

I’d say earlier you’d see anything is 7dpt - so if you are mentally prepared tomorrow. But know that some people don’t see a line this early. Use a first response test, it’s the most sensitive in the market.

I’m going to try to contain myself until Sunday.

It would show at 10 days already if you’re pregnant, so you could take one now.
It’s really up to you if you can manage the mental part.
I recommend first response early detection. Has always been extremely accurate for me.
HcG from trigger is out of your system within ~9 days.

When is your blood test? Highly recommend you wait for a conclusive result

Thinking of you, OP. I just went thru that loss and only had the one embryo, so back to square one. Still grieving a month later, but it does slowly get easier. Sending love.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
