Am 7dt3dt not counting day of transfer, not sure if that is how it is done.

Emmysmom-- I'm sure they are just as reliable as other hpt's. I think you might be !

Why don't you try another kind tomorrow morning, just to assure you.

AFM-- I'm waiting for beta but getting more and more down as the days progress. I feel no symptoms and we just found out today that none of the other embies made it to freeze...once again. Sigh.

Thanks Bridget. I'm cautiously hopeful at this point, even if tomorrows is positive, I still think the beta is the most important. All this POAS is addictive. I never would have thought to do it everyday, without this forum.

I hope you get a nice surprise at your beta tomorrow, it's hard to read into symptoms/no symptoms as everyone and every pregnancy is different. Hold on to your hope, I'll be for you tonight.

I feel so slow right now. All day long I thought I took a FRED this morning but the box says First Response Rapid Result. Is that the samething? I feel so confused right now.

I am 7dp3dt and it seems like the rapid result is not as sensitive based on what I googled.

I read that somewhere too today, that rapid result tests weren't as sensitive to lower levels of HCG.

I'm a little confused by HPT right now too, but it said positive right?

I can't wait for our beta date (you and I are both June 15), that'll tell us everything we want to know

In the mean time I'm enjoying being PUPO and for all of us to get s.

Hang in there

I just read on a site that Rapid response test for 100miu HCG while others are usually 25miu. So it is not as sensitive. It was definitely a positive when I POAS this morning. The result came up fast to. I am not trying to get my hopes up all high but I honestly dont feel like myself. I feel bloated and couldnt barely bottom my pants today and I am so tired. I feel crazy b/c I know that if it is true, I am not that far along and dont undertsand why I feel like this already.

I guess the Beta will tell all.

For our beta dates!!!

I took the same thing as you did this morning. My line was VERY faint. I'm hoping that it is not as sensitive and my 2nd beta comes back super high tomorrow! I am just 7dp5dt today and like I said mine was VERY faint so don't give up yet. I am sure you are !

Stephanie-did you get your results? I you get the call for your beta and it is a

AFM-I'm super scared today. I was nauseated all morning, then mid morning I started getting sharp cramps in the lower belly area. This afternoon I had a little white sticky discharge (it feels like I'm getting my period soon-sorry if this is TMI). Any advice? Should I read this as a good sign or bad one? I'm especially scared because tomorrow is the beta and I don't want to hear and then find out the worst 2-3 days later.

I am currently 5dp3dt and I am going crazy waiting. This is the worst part of IVF. I did a stupid thing and tested today just to see a BFN. I don't know if I can make it till my beta on 6/16. I have already had two failed IVF cycles.

So it's 6 am here, and I just POAS (just a regular first response today, no digital nonsense) and it came up as well! The second line is still faint, but it is clearly there and it didn't take very long to show up.

However I really need to start taking my colace daily, because I just had some wicked constipation pains, and pains during pooping (I know TMI). Why does colace have to taste so disgusting? I wasn't able to find colace in pill form, so I bought the liquid that you add to drinks (gross).

Good luck to the beta ladies today, hoping to hear some good news from you all
