Patient's question:
A 53-year-old woman doesn't know why she suddenly got sick and is feeling uncomfortable. Please ask: How many days after embryo transfer can pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) generally allows for pregnancy detection about 12 days after embryo transfer. In most cases, we inform patients to come in for a blood test around 12 days to check if they are pregnant. Of course, some patients are more eager, and some can even test positive as early as 7 or 8 days after transfer. This is especially true for blastocyst transfer, where the earliest detection can occur around 7 or 8 days. Blood tests after IVF transfer are the most accurate method, which is a gold standard regardless of where you go. Some people may also test their urine before this, which is certainly possible, as it is a qualitative method. Blood tests, on the other hand, are quantitative.
