IVF at home testing

I’m looking for advice on whether or not to test at home after my FET coming up next week. It’s my first embryo transfer and I know I can test out the trigger, but it seems like I’ll be spending so much time comparing and squinting eyes and wondering if it’s getting darker or if I’m crazy. I’ll worry about the concentration of my pee and all the things. It sounds like it might be too much.
I’m also worried about waiting till the blood test. That seems really hard as well and I bet I’ll want to test at home early - but if I haven’t tested out my trigger, then I’ll be worried that any line might just be from the trigger.

What have y’all done? I would like to hear your experiences with testing how often and when to help me make my decision beforehand. I’ll be triggering tonight.

When we had our transfer our doctor told us not to test at home to wait to come in And get blood test 9 days after transfer . I’m so glad I waited till blood test .

No I just took their advice and distracted myself . Didn’t want to stress myself out if the test would be negative . Blood test was positive and my daughter is 2 1/2 🩷

getting fuel for car while out and and about with baby

This might be random and a stupid question but how are people getting fuel for their car while they’re out and about alone with baby?

TTC after a chemical!

I’m currently going through a chemical and just wondering how long it should be until my period arrives??

Also how long did it take people to conceive again after a chemical?🥺
