Oh god, the wait during IVF is so agonizing, I felt like crying every single day. I did a home test on day 9 and saw a faint line, my heart literally stopped. But seriously, the official blood test is the only one that gave me real peace of mind.
When I was waiting for my results, my mom kept me so pampered and didn't let me do any heavy work ghar pe. She advised me not to stress over home kits and just wait for the doctor's appointment. Family support really helps to pass those anxious days.
Sending you so much love and strength. Home tests can be tricky with IVF, so waiting for the blood test is usually best. Hang in there, hope you get good news.
Honestly, I did a home test during my cycle and got a negative, but my clinic's blood test was positive! Since then I tell everyone to not rely 100% on home kits for IVF. It just caused me unnecessary stress.
Having PCOS made my journey very unpredictable, so I was always double careful. With IVF, home tests can sometimes show wrong results due to the hormonal medicines we take. Please wait for your doctor to do the blood test, don't get disheartened by home tests.
Testing early at home can give false results because of the trigger shots we take. Better to wait for beta HCG. Just focus on eating healthy right now and keeping your sugar levels balanced while u wait.
Usually home kits can detect it, but trigger shots can stay in your system and give a false positive. That's why fertility clinics always insist on the beta HCG blood test around day 10-14. Stay busy and try not to test too early at home.
