And now, at last, this exciting serious procedure is over. Tedious waiting days began. When will a woman know that everything went well and she will soon become a mother? We will now talk about this.
When to do a pregnancy test after IVF?
Very often, future moms are interested, on what day did the tests show pregnancy after the IVF procedure? After all, I'd like to know more joyful news!
It would seem that if the fact has come to pass, and such a welcome and long-awaited pregnancy has come, then the test should show its presence already in the first 7 days. In part this, of course, is true. But there are also some nuances.
For example, if the test is made on day 7 after the fertilization procedure, it can show the coveted 2 strips. And then after a while at the time of testing in the hospital it turns out that there is no pregnancy. This is often due to the fact that:
- In the body, there is still a large enough amount of the hormone hCG, which was artificially introduced for ovulation. In this situation, an ordinary home test shows a false positive result.
- This can also be due to the fact that this procedure often involves late implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall - 10 or more days after ovulation. This happens because it needs some time to adapt after the implantation into the uterine cavity.
Thus, the pregnancy test with IVF should be done no earlier than 14 days after the procedure itself. Then you can already be certain that the result of the pregnancy test after eco even before the blood is given to HCG, will be correct.
Successful pregnancy and healthy babies!
