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.
