Stage 8 – Your Pregnancy test

On the fourteenth day after your embryo transfer it is essential to perform a pregnancy test
with an early morning urine sample. This is the first opportunity to find out if implantation has been successful or not.

If the pregnancy test is positive:

Your medication regimen is followed until the 12th week of pregnancy.
It is important to continue the medication. We will arrange a scan for you in order to confirm the number of embryos which have implanted and to monitor the foetal heart beat at seven weeks' gestation.

If the result is negative:

You must continue on the medication for two further days and then repeat the pregnancy test. If the result is again negative all drugs must be stopped. After the onset of the next period,
you should return to your natural cycle.

Please note that whatever the result, UKCFA will continue to provide help, advice and support. Our programme coordinator is available to provide this service.
We advise all patients who have a negative test to have a follow up consultation with our Consultant Gynaecologist.

This appointment is free of charge.
