Hi. I had IUI done on 23rd December. I am using Susten 300 and Duphaston tablets and took an HCG shot (5000) before IUI. Can I get a correct pregnancy test result while using these medicines? How and when should I take the test? My LMP is 10th December. Kindly suggest?

HCG shots may cause false positive results. Wait 12 to 14 days post IUI i.e., around Jan 6, for a reliable serum beta hCG test. Repeat after 48 hours to assess viability.

Hai Doctor, my period has been delayed by 8 days. I am undergoing treatment for fertility problems, and since starting treatment my periods had been regular. I visited my doctor today, and she asked me to take a urine pregnancy test, which came out negative. She advised me to wait for another 5 days, saying that sometimes fertilization can be delayed. My question is: can this really happen, is it useful to wait further, and is it safe to have sex during this time?

My sister has undergone two IUI cycles with injections. She is currently on Duphaston 10, Gestofit 400 SR, DHEA Sure, and Primiwal E4. Today is her 15 DPO, but her urine pregnancy test is negative. She is experiencing cramps, nausea, back pain, leg pain, and occasional knee pain. Could the test result be wrong? When would be the right time to test again?

If my test comes out positive, what should I do? Please suggest, as I am married and unable to go to the hospital for this purpose.
