How early did you get a positive after a 5 day transfer?

Post by wishing4baby »

Hi everyone. How early did you get a positive on an HPT after a 5 day transfer? I got a negative this morning and I am almost 4dp5dt. I don't know if I should be really discouraged or if it is just too early. What has been your experience?

Average HCG at 10dpo is 16. That means even the most sensitive HPTs can barely detect it. You are at 9dpo. I think it is early and would not be discouraged if I were you. Maybe wait a couple more days before testing again. Good luck to you!!!

It would be virtually impossible to see it with an HPT at this point.

You should wait at least a few more days

Thank you both for the reply. Trying to keep my spirits up during the wait. I think I won't test again...wait for my Beta. :-)

I never saw the trigger shot leave my system. I started testing at 3dp5dt and kept getting + since then which were getting darker and darker. At 5dp5dt i did a blood test and my levels were at 25. 8dp5dt levels were at 171.

I would definetly say that you took the test too early. The good news is the trigger is out of your systems So I would wait like another three days and test again. Don't be discouraged at all.It most likely was just too early
