I had a frozen embryo transfer on 4th July. Initially, I experienced mild period like cramps, which have now stopped, but I still have occasional mild pelvic and lower back pain. I am taking all my medications as prescribed, including Crinone 8 percent progesterone gel. Since yesterday, I have had a burning sensation while urinating. Can I take a beta HCG test now to check if I am pregnant, or should I wait a few more days? I am really worried, please advise.

After frozen embryo transfer (FET), a Beta hCG blood test can be done 10 to 12 days post transfer for reliable pregnancy confirmation. Mild pelvic pain and lower back pain are common post transfer, but burning while urinating may indicate a UTI. Do a Urine Routine and Culture to rule out infection while continuing your medicines.

I took Hucog 5000 injection on 03 Dec, i.e., the 23rd day of my cycle. When should I expect my period to start or go for the pregnancy test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I did my pregnancy test on the 45th day and got a very mild positive indication. Then I did it again on the 50th day and did not find any positive indication. I do not have any pregnancy symptoms except pain in my breast nipples. Otherwise, I am normal as on any other day. Is this a positive pregnancy result or negative? Please clear my doubt.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I took a pregnancy test on the morning of my missed period, and it showed negative. However, I still have doubts. I had sexual intercourse on the 11th day of my cycle?
