On average, two weeks after intrauterine insemination IUI or embryo transfer , patients will come back to our center for a pregnancy test. Unlike a home pregnancy test, the beta test administered in the office is blood-based and measures the hCG levels produced by a developing embryo. The most reliable pregnancy test available is the hCG blood test performed at your local Shady Grove Fertility office.
A blood hCG number over is a good first beta result, although many ongoing pregnancies start out with a beta hCG level below that number. Higher numbers are not indicators of a multiple pregnancy; only the ultrasound can determine if you are pregnant with multiples. Additional beta tests are typically performed every 48 to 72 hours after the first positive test to confirm that hCG levels are continuing to rise.
We look for the level of hCG to rise about 60 percent or more in each of the additional tests. If the number continues to increase, physicians become more confident that there is likely a viable pregnancy, as the rising levels indicate that the embryo is continuing to grow. After your second or third hCG beta blood test, you may have one or two ultrasounds to verify the presence of a sac and, ultimately, a heartbeat.
Navigating your way through the 2 week wait can be tough, but finding support can help make the wait just a little bit easier. Over 16, people have found a network of support in our online community. Remember that it only takes one. Tarah: I had a wonderful, supportive nurse that I called almost daily to talk about different things I was experiencing.
She stayed positive and did her best to calm my fears. I went for long walks and listened to inspirational music during this time as well. Jaime: Stay busy doing whatever you can! Typically, it takes about 10 days for the drug hCG to clear from blood and urine.
So, if you do an UPT too soon — 10 days or less after the hCG injection — you may get a false positive because you are detecting the medication that is still in your blood and urine, not the hCG that a pregnancy is making.
While the two-week wait can be stressful and testing at home can be tempting, I recommend against testing at home. If not timed properly, the results of your home pregnancy test may not be accurate, and could set you up for disappointment and confusion.

It got lighter, then lighter, then on 5dp6dt seemed ever-so-slightly darker, and then darker still on 6dp, then was a for-sure positive by 7dp. Join now to personalize. Hi ladies - what is the earliest that I can do a home pregnancy test when triggered with Ovidrel mcg? I triggered at 6pm on April I had shot and then IUI the next day- waited two weeks to test- I actually was curious and tested two days prior to the 2 weeks and got a faint positive.
Next day did digital and got positive.
