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.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test

View allIn a pregnancy test, there is one dark red line and one very faint line. Does this mean she is actually pregnant? If she is pregnant and we are not planning to have a child right now, what steps should we take?

I took a test 10 days after transferring two 5AA frozen blastocysts. Is there any chance of detecting on the 14th day beta hcg? HCG is scheduled on 1st December.

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?
