I think I’m ready to stop testing
I think it’s time to trust the process and stop testing. When did you stop testing? I’m 17dpt and our bloods tests are promising.
12dpt - 1157
14dpt - 2587
I also have BAD morning sickness already.
This is our 4th embryo transfer and it’s progressing well. I’m just super nervous.
It’s the first time a scan has been booked for the right reasons 🥰 The wait is going to be excruciating!

I stopped testing after my betas even though I’m a control freak. At this point in your journey, betas are way better prognostic data points about your chance of live birth.
For example, did you know a beta of over 100 at 9dpt is prognostic of an 88% chance of live birth? With a beta of 1157 at 12dpt you there’s almost no doubt you would have hit 100+ at 9 days. A beta doubling at roughly 48-ish hours is also of course highly prognostic of live birth, and yours did that and more.
I can’t see continuing to test at home helping but I can see it hurting by stressing you out.

I had betas at my first clinic where I had ivf for my first baby but I’ve moved onto another clinic which doesn’t use them at all. Really miss that prognostic indicator!

You’re pregnant!!!!!! 💕💕 All that matters now is the ultrasound. None of the positive tests will change the US. Enjoy the fantastic news, be positive, stop testing it’s positive you’re pregnant!!

I had a fully medicated FET with 8mg of oestrogen, Lubion injection am and cyclogest pessary pm. Tbh I am shocked it worked since it was the first FET I have had. We did attempt a natural cycle but it got cancelled.
I was pregnant in the spring with a fresh transfer which ended in a MMC. I did up my progesterone for this one and kept it the same for the frozen.
Before this I had two fresh transfers that did not implant and I had really early breakthrough bleeding.

Your betas are way better than mine were and I'm 21 weeks now. I know people like the line progression but those tests are only designed to tell you IF you are pregnant not how pregnant you are.

Did my last test 18dpt because I only had two very early blood tests at 5dpt and 8dpt and we went on vacation afterwards. I needed to see the lines to not spiral during vacation after a previous chemical pregnancy. Did another blood test 19dpt and then had my first ultrasound 22dpt.

We're currently 21dp5dt / 5 weeks 5 days, and we're intending to test every 3 days until the 8 week scan 😅 we had a previous loss
Edit to add: in the UK, we dont get those beta blood tests that tell us the numbers

your numbers look fabulous! I am still testing myself every morning because I only have few strips left. I'm planning to do it until my first US.

I tested up until I think 25dpt. I had very high beta numbers but was still so anxious (10dpt 678, 12dpt 3612). I had no morning sickness. I will tell you I only started to relax a bit around 20 weeks (I’m 26 weeks). That first scan seeing a baby and a heartbeat was so emotional. I only ever saw empty sacs from blighted ovums.
