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.

Hi, I got a positive pregnancy test, which I also confirmed with an HCG blood test. In that test, my values were 779 and 1387, taken a day apart. I am having red brown discharge with light cramps. When I went to the doctor, she suggested a hormone injection and Miprogen tablet for two weeks. Will this situation settle or is there any risk of complication? Please suggest.

I went to the doctor and had a thyroid test and asked about pregnancy to which she answered no. I still have a thyroid test report. Could anyone please refer to the test report and let me know what is mentioned regarding pregnancy as there is something written as pregnancy?

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?
