Same on 6dp3dt

Another stark white test.

And hey, I know it's early. These posts aren't "I'm ~so~ bummed out" posts. They are just chronicling the aspect of my poas day by day. For now, I'm cool.

Plus, I've learned with a 3dt, especially from FET, it can take up to 2 days longer to get a result than a 5dt.

So I'm okay with negatives for a few more days. But that 8dp3dt/9dp3dt will suck assholes.

okay, so I admit it, I'm not really ~okay~ with seeing these negatives. But like I've always said, this is the way I like to do it. Test early and often. That way, a little hope is taken out of your heart, a little bit, day by day, so when that real BFN is staring you in the face, it's just not as hard. For me, a bunch of 'little' BFNs is better than one 'big' BFN.

tobacco brunette said...: My testing approach is exactly the same as yours. I agree that a bfn at 6 days for a 3dt is still quite early so i'm still hoping strong for a second line. Hang in there!; May 11, 2008 at 12:26 PM

It's too early!!! I think 8/9 may even be a little early. I think that's why your RE is waiting till Friday to test you.; May 11, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Heather said...: I'm currently 6dp3dt and getting a BFN too, so it encouraged me to see this (and to see that you have a healthy baby boy from this transfer!). This 2ww is killer!!!; April 25, 2010 at 8:10 AM

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood. Whew!
