I had a 5dt and as the days passed with af cramps and my hearbeating so hard, I felt it is better to do the hpt than dying of stress. I did it 9dp5dt. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the pregnant word on that test, I cried and cried. Though I had decided not to tell dh as he had asked me to wait till beta but I coudn't hold myself. So ladies, I can say, if you can't wait for long just test it but make sure you you wait till 12dpo or more.

Goodluck to all waiting for beta, lots of BFP!!!

Hi Ladies. I broke down today and POAS and got a BFP!! I am 8 days past a 5 day transfer of 2 blasts. I took my trigger (half dose) on July 20 so I am praying this is for real and not a false positive. The positive line came up before I stopped peeing! I swear I hadn't even wiped and there was a bright positive line. Please help me! Is this a good sign or did I test to early? My beta is not until Friday.

onemorebaby: I still think it is way too early for you since you had a 3dt. Don't lose faith or give up the hope as it may still work out for you!!! I'll be praying that it does and keeping you in my thoughts!

My advice is to listen to what IVFNurse posted and always be cautiously optimistic when getting BFP's on these tests. Last cycle I was a HPT addict and tested constantly. I always only got BFP's even up to the beta. Then the beta came and I was told that although I was pregnant, it would not last b/c my beta was too low. So, that pregnancy didn't last. Hopefully, this time will be different and it will be a strong beta!!

Lots of Babydust and BFP's to all of us in the wait!!

I do not think you are crazy. I just did the same thing. I told myself that I wasn't going to POAS. All of a sudden, I just couldn't stand it. Drove to CVS and bought EPT, and of course, it was negative. I am also 5dp3dt.
I still do not have any symptoms. Sometimes I think I may have cramping, but it may all be in my mind...
Do you have any symptoms?? I keep thinking my boobs should be getting sore..is anyones??????????

Kimmy,
I have no symptoms yet. I do have on and off mild cramping but not sure if it means anything anyway let's keep think positive wishing you and all the other BFP. We all go through alot. Sometimes I think why this woderful time of our life (being a mom) should be that painful for us when it is very sweet and easy for others??? I have never saw a positive on HPT and I am waiting for it for a long time...............Am I gonna ever see it???
It is almost 2 hours after midnight and I am dreaming may all our dreams come true. Amen.

Hi Ladies,

It is such a comfort going through this with you, if there is any comfort to this at all. Down today, but gonna pick myself up. I had my trasnfer around the same time as you, last Wednesday. My RE is so optomistic, saying there is no reason it will not work this time. I was there with him, but not quite there now as the 2ww dwindles down. I will poas but have not even bought one yet. Will probably do it over the weekend. My beta is 8/13 which will be 14dp3dt, if I counted right.
