I have undergone 3 FET procedures and prefer not to take pregnancy tests. I prefer to remain positive until the beta day results tell me otherwise.
The term “two week wait” for IVF is misleading because it actually starts before the transfer, and it bothers me when people refer to it as such on this subreddit. I don’t mind if this opinion gets downvoted.
I made changes to my first two transfers, but for the third one I just went with it.
Sometimes I have it and sometimes I don’t. It all depends on my mood haha.
I made sure to take both transfers on the day of the blood draw, either before or after. I didn’t want to take the risk of stopping my medication early if I didn’t get a positive result. I believe it was fortunate to receive the news at home rather than through official test results.
In my initial transfer, I eagerly gave in but was disappointed to discover the results were not as positive as I had hoped due to a chemical in my blood. However, in my second transfer, I remained patient and the outcome was much more successful. My doctor was surprised by my patience.
I have only completed a single transfer up until now, however, I waited until beta. This time, I had it done locally which allowed me to receive the results before the clinic did.
I definitely wasn’t the one who made it. With my first pregnancy, I lasted until day 5 but couldn’t continue. However, on that day, I saw a very faint positive, making it the first positive in the 4 years of trying. The second time, I didn’t last as long and tested after 4 days.
I choose not to test at home because of a past miscarriage and years of negative results. The uncertainty is nerve-wracking, but I don’t want to be devastated by unnecessary negative results.
I refrained from testing early and waited for my first beta, which I was pleased with. The journey of fertility treatments is full of highs and lows, and I didn’t want to add more uncertainty by testing prematurely.
I do not test during my IUIs, and I do not intend to during my FET this month. My plan is to test out my trigger and continue testing to stay informed about what is happening in my body. I have a box of 20 strip tests for this cycle, which should be sufficient. Not having information about my body can lead to obsessive thoughts and anxiety.
I successfully completed the routine of taking a pregnancy test multiple times without feeling discouraged. Staying busy with TV and work helped keep me distracted and made the process easier.
Yes, I did! It happened in January when I decided not to test during the Tww. I waited for the beta results and the call from my clinic. When I received the call while at work, it was a negative result and I felt devastated. Now I am beginning the process for my 2nd FET this month, unsure of what to expect. Wishing you good luck! 
I have not checked my pregnancy status since my second transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy. I have now had 8 transfers with only one successful live birth.
Personally, I feel the need to test early in order to mentally prepare myself for possible outcomes. After experiencing failed and successful transfers, I have learned that knowing the results sooner helps me cope better emotionally. I prefer to have a sense of control over the situation rather than potentially being blindsided by disappointing news.
This was my fourth pregnancy, and for the first time, I decided not to take any tests and simply waited for 12 days. I opted for a blood test for a definitive answer.
I forgot about it, so I have it.
If my clinic only made me wait 10 days until the first beta, I could handle it. But for some reason, they make me wait until 14 days past transfer, and I get extremely anxious starting around day 8 
I started testing from 5 days past transfer (dpt) onwards, but I always had a plan and didn’t view it as giving in. If you prefer to test at home, why wait?
For the first three cycles, I never got a chance to test because my period always arrived before the test date. It felt like I was missing out on finding out if it was positive or negative. In my fifth cycle, I finally decided to try testing the trigger, and it was a much easier experience for me mentally. I understand that it may not be the same for everyone.
