Hi, today is the 12th day after IVF. Can I do a urine pregnancy test at home now? I have heard that sometimes urine test results may differ from a blood beta hCG test. Which test would be more reliable at this stage?

A urine test on day 12 post IVF may show early signs of pregnancy, but it can still give a false negative. A Serum beta hCG Test is more accurate and can detect even low levels of pregnancy hormone. Best done on day 14 for confirmation.

Hello, my egg ruptured. Since then, I have had a slightly high body temperature, mild pain on the left side of my abdomen, a little headache, and back pain. Could I be pregnant? Can a pregnancy test be done just 3 days after ovulation? Please advise.

My beta hCG result is 3.10 mIU per ml. According to the report, the biological reference range is not detectable to 2.90 mIU/ml indicates non pregnant status. So, what does my result mean?
