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 🩷
I was also older when we did IVF . I was 40 and 41 when I had her . Didn’t think IVF was goin to work with my age but girl miracles happen . We have a boy embryo in freezer at the fertility clinic too so we are hoping to do that this summer / fall . Praying it works for you too. Keep me posted 🙏🙏🙏
When is your transfer
Yay
Did you get your embryos PGT tested ?

Faint line or evap line?
I tested 2 days ago and got a negative. Retested this morning and thought it was another negative. I didn’t look at it for the full time, just a minute or so. I looked a little later and think I can see a faint line but could it be evaporation line? Period is 5 days late. Please help.

What do you think?
I took this test yesterday (5 dpo) and it's the boots 5 days early pregnancy test, i thought it was an early positive but now im doubting it because apparently there tests aren't very reliable and have indent lines all the time? but this showed up right away...i hate the 2 week wait

Line progression
Does this progression look positive? I am roughly 18dpo and according to LMP 5 weeks pregnant. The bottom test is 2 days ago 16dpo middle yesterday and top one is today. I’m concerned as it’s not looking much darker?

IUD
I’m due to give birth soon and I’m considering getting an IUD fitted at the time or soon after. Can you please share your experiences of either copper or hormonal IUDs? I’m leaning more towards copper. I’ve never used any form of contraception before (apart from condoms) so I’m quite anxious about potential side effects

Advice for someone considering trying for a 2nd child please 🙏
We have been backwards and forwards on having another for a long time but I think we are pretty set on trying for a 2nd. Does anyone have any useful advice or tips on having a second child?!
