To Test or Not to Test: The Early Pregnancy Debate After IVF
Manage episode 458760023 series 3455843
Ever wondered if testing early after an IVF embryo transfer is worth the stress—or the potential answers it might bring? In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols tackles the big question many IVF patients face: to test or not to test before the official day 10 pregnancy test. We explore why clinics often discourage early testing, from the risks of false negatives and positives to the emotional toll of seeing uncertain results.
But that’s not all—we also discuss why some patients choose to test early, whether it’s to manage their expectations, share a private moment with their partner, or gain insight into their cycle’s progress. With real-life examples, expert advice, and a touch of humor, this episode will help you navigate the pros and cons of early testing and decide what’s best for you. Whether you’re in the two-week wait or just curious about the process, this episode is packed with insights to guide your journey. Don’t miss it!
