hCG last about 10 days. When hCG is used that way, for luteal support, it makes pregnancy tests difficult to interpret.

It's very common. Tell your RE. He should address it.

Hi,
I tried testing, but it shows a very faint line(almost can't see the line) on the hpt. Does that mean I'm not pregnant since it's not yet 10 days afte my last hcg jab?

At this point it just means you tested early. Best to wait for the blood test.

Morning,

Thanks for your lovely messages I live in the UK and over here they do not do bloods we are just asked to take a pregnacy test 15 days after embryo transfer (The hospital gave me a test away with me the day of embryo transfer).

I did another test this morning Negative again

I had no embryos suitable for freezing I don't think I have ever felt so sad in my life.

A different topic, but perhaps interesting...

I read a news story in which Lord Winston was berating British IVF clinics for charging too much for IVF cycles. The cycles were around 3000 pounds, about 5000 dollars, and he thought that was outrageously high. From the US perspective, that's a very low price, and it looks like your IVF cycles are stripped down to the bare minimum (very little monitoring, for example), and the success rates are somewhat low as a result. My thought was that the official was thinking of IVF cycles as a commodity, as if all IVF is the same.

Oddly in the US, most IVF is paid in cash by the patient, and clinics compete on both quality and price. While it's obviously nice for the patients to have insurance coverage for IVF, insurance pays only a small fraction of what cash patients are charged, so if all patients were on insurance we'd be forced to cut service to the bone, much like the European model. I wonder if that's really a better value?

Maybe an irrelevant comment here, but it's been on my mind.
