When is the earliest you saw (or can see) a + from 3dt?

Post by IndieBlue »

Just checking :)

I wanted to know how early you saw a + on a HPT after a 3dt? I read the chart/list "what happens on a 3dt" but it says 8dp3dt is the earliest that your little embryo's would be implanted and producing HCG. I had smaller cell ones, although I think our 6 cell one was close to being a blast by the way it looks....so could you see it earlier?

Thanks!!!
Oh and we transferred 3 on day 3; a 6 cell, 5 cell and ? cell that they let me put back in at the last minute...so I didn't ask what cell it was, but it looks just like the other 5 cell.

Hey Indie...best of luck to you!! I got a + 7dp3dt, so it can happen!! Now I ended up with twins so my hcg was higher, and could probably be detected sooner.

I think it varies for everyone. If your embryos were 6 and 5 cell it may take another couple of days for them to catch up.

My 3 day transfer of 3 8-cell embryos was on 6/2.

I got my first faint, but definitely positive, test on 6/10 and it's been getting darker and darker with every test. My beta is today.

Thanks. I've been POAS everyday since ER (so I could see the trigger shot leave my system). The trigger was pretty much gone before ET day....but I kept testing everyday, before I put in my progesterone....it's just become a morning ritual LOL POAS and lay it to the side, put in progesterone, wash hands, let dogs out and then check the HPT on the way back to bed LOL This morning before I even did the progesterone I saw the faintest line show up!!! It's only 6dp3dt...so really really early, but I'm going to continue to POAS and see if it gets darker :) I may even buy a few different ones at the store to confirm on Sunday or Monday (Beta is Wednesday).

My test strips are the ones that doctor's offices use, that detect as early as 20mcg? Still I'm just surprised and amazed I guess and wanted to know if maybe it was a bad test. I just POAS again...I have a TON of these things LOL and it was negative. So again...maybe a bad test or maybe since I've already peed 3 times this morning the HCG can't be detected anymore? I guess I'll see in the morning.

Thanks again for the input of your own experiences :)

YEAHHHHH INDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to tell you that when I got my faint positive, it fluctuated a lot in color from day to day. Most women say it got darker and darker but mine didn't. It was faint almost the whole time and one occasionally mornings a little darker but not much.

Thanks, that will be of comfort if it doesn't get darker :) I also got a different brand today while I was out, just to compare early next week before Beta LOL
