They tell you to wait two weeks. I waited one and had correct results on both test.

First time it was negative and a week later they confirmed it. Second time it was positive, same thing confirmed a week later.

How do you increase the probability of having a baby boy child?

According to the Shettles method, sperm containing the y (male) chromosome tend to be "faster" than those containing the x (female) chromosome, so sex right when ovulation occurs or shortly after should increase the odds for a boy because the "boy" sperm will win the race to the egg. Sex two to four days prior to ovulation tends to favor girls because the sperm with the x-chromosome tend to live a longer than the y-chromosome containing sperm so by the time the egg arrives most of the "boy" sperm are dead.The Whelan method advocates the opposite of the Shettles method. The Whelan method suggests intercourse four to six days prior to ovulation to increase the likelihood of fertilization by male sperm.Of course both methods require knowing exactly when ovulation occurs so relying them to choose the gender would only slightly increases the chance of getting the target gender - and, in case you didn't notice, they give opposite advice...There are only 2 proven techniques that may affect the gender of the baby: 1) sperm sorting and 2) IVF with the use of PGD.Sperm sorting works on the premise that it separates the X and Y-sperm by use of centrifugation. During centrifugation, controlled spinning causes particles in a sample to become sorted into layers according to density of those particles. Sorting separates the more dense X-sperm from the lighter Y-sperm. One half of the sperm normally produced by a healthy male will carry the Y-chromosome producing a male child, and the other half of the sperm will be the X-chromosome producing a female child. By altering the number of one chromosome or the other by separating the layers, one is increasing the chances of producing a child of a specific gender. During sperm sorting, the sperm cells are separated from the seminal fluid, the sperm are concentrated into healthy and motile sperm, abnormal sperm is filtered out, and finally the separation of the X and Y-sperm concentrates the sample to the desired gender. The remaining sample is more likely to result in a successful pregnancy and will increase the odds of the desired gender group. This technique is widely used and is a standard process in IVF and IUI procedures. After the sperm is sorted, the sample will be inseminated into the woman which is an in office technique. Using sperm sorting improves the odds of a boy to approximately 78% - 85% instead of 50%. If trying for a girl, using sperm sorting yields about 73% - 75% girls.The technique PGD is the only method which can virtually guarantee the gender of your choice because embryos are tested for gender before they are implanted in the womb. These tested embryos are created for the purpose of IVF. The eggs are harvested from the mother (or donor) and the sperm sample is taken from the father (or donor) and the embryos are created in the lab for later implantation. These embryos are subject to a biopsy procedure on the third day of growth that allows a single cell to be analyzed for male or female chromosomes. While this is the most accurate technique, it is by far the most involved and most costly. PGD is commonly used for couples with a family history of a genetic disorder and older mothers are more likely to have a baby with genetic birth defects. PGD is not 100% reliable and only tests for specific defects, parents should use other prenatal genetic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. PGD is expensive and still considered an experimental procedure. Clinics will not allow couples to partake in PGD even if they are willing to pay for the services if the couple simply wants to influence the gender of their child. Screening processes are extremely stringent and in most cases a couple will only be accepted if they have a genetic abnormality they are attempting to avoid. Success rates for this type of procedure are 97-99.9% accurate in couples seeking either a boy or girl.

Can you be pregnant if your hometest came back negative and you had IVF?

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

What is the IVF process like?

The IVF process typically involves several steps, including: Ovarian stimulation: This is done with medication to help the ovaries produce multiple eggs.   Egg retrieval: The eggs are retrieved from the ovaries using a needle.   Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory.   Embryo transfer: The embryos are transferred back into the woman's uterus.   What happens after IVF? After IVF, the woman will take a pregnancy test to see if the procedure was successful. If she is pregnant, she will continue to be monitored by her doctor throughout her pregnancy.   If you have any further questions about IVF, please talk to your doctor. They can provide you with more information and help you decide if IVF is the right option for you. Sources and related content

Can IVF guarantee a healthy pregnancy and baby?

We were unsure about IVF, wondering if it would truly guarantee a healthy pregnancy and baby. But after consulting with Dr. Poonam Goyal, we learned that while IVF can't guarantee 100% success, it significantly increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy. Dr. Goyal’s personalized approach made us feel confident, and with her expertise, our IVF journey resulted in the healthy pregnancy we had been dreaming of.

When is the soonest you can do a pregnancy test after IVF?

With natural conception they advise to test around 2 weeks after the suspected conception, or if your regular period is at least one week late. Since you've been injecting a lot of fertility drugs leading up to your IVF treatment they might mess with the results of your pregnancy test, giving you a false positive. Most hospitals therefor advise to wait 18-21 days (so roughly 3 weeks) after the embryo('s) have been returned. If that test is positive they will always make you come in and take additional tests, and an ultrasound, to confirm the embryo's hatching and heartbeat.

How can you prevent another ectopic pregnancy after having chlamydia?

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.

Can you have IVF during pregnancy?

No. They can not enter the uterus without risking miscarriage. There is also no ovulation during pregnancy.

Is it possible that one day IVF can prevent miscarriage?

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.
