There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc
Commonly a serum pregnancy test is checked 14 days after egg retrieval in an IVF cycle. Sometimes if a patient performs a home pregnancy test at that time instead, it could read false negative even though she may actually be pregnant. This is because the home test cannot detect low levels of the HCG hormone, however a serum test can. For this reason most IVF centers advise against taking a home test
Any test that deals with a studying a subject outside of its normal environment, such as a test performed "inside a lab." Any test that deals with a studying a subject outside of its normal environment, such as a test performed "inside a lab."
Possibly if your ovaries were hyper-stimulated. I would suggest another pregnancy test and if negative a call to the doctor if no period next cycle. Stress can cause periods to be late too.
I'd like to know this too. I had IVF just over a week ago and though the home tests so far have been negative I hvae some of the symptoms of pregnancy. I'd like to know if it could be in my mind or if there is a chance it just hasn't shown up on a test yet? Alot of people say two weeks but i know of alot of people that got faint positives at two months.I personally would wait six weeks.I know its a long time but its better to wait and get the answer for sure then wasit money when it could be false negative. Many doctors and people i know say no matter if the test says positive or negative to take a test one or two weeks after the first test taken to make sure of wheather you are or not.
Wait at least two weeks. HCG levels in IVF pregnancy's tend to take a little longer to register.
While early pregnancy testing is possible it often gives a false negative. In cases of IVF where fertility drugs are used it can yield a false positive. It is best to wait until the the time your Dr recommends which is usually 14-16 days after transfer.
On average, each round of IVF gives a 20-30% chance of pregnancy.
There may be nothing you can do other than use IVF for your pregnancy (although IVF itself carries an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy). Talk with your health care provider about options.
No. They can not enter the uterus without risking miscarriage. There is also no ovulation during pregnancy.
No. The positive pregnancy test rate of an IVF cycle is about 50-60 percent (depending on clinic and age of woman), there is then a 10-15 percent early spontaneous miscarriage rate (the same as a natural conception that doesn't proceed to a successful second trimester pregnancy). As IVF technique improves, the chance of pregnancy is still dependent on nature's ability to allow implantation into the uterus and successful chomosomes coming together to make a viable embyro/early fetus.
Medicine for IVF (Invitro Fertilization - a process that promotes pregnancy) is not typically covered by insurance because it is not medically necessary.
A clinical pregnancy is a pregnancy characterized by a situation when the fetal sac is seen in the uterus with an ultrasound examination four weeks after the IVF procedure has taken placed.
