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.

I had FET done on 14th January and got a negative beta test on 25th January. I got my period on 30th January. I took Duphaston twice daily from 13th February and stopped on 17th February, but my period has not yet come, and I have no symptoms of pregnancy. Please advise?

After unprotected intercourse three months ago, I have had two negative urine pregnancy tests and three normal periods. But some people told me that it is possible to have periods and still be pregnant. Is this possible?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

We had unprotected sex, and afterward, we checked for pregnancy three times using home tests, all of which were negative. However, period has not occurred for the past 40 days.
