After an embryo transfer, the timing of pregnancy testing matters more than many patients realize. ⏱️​

​In this video, Dr. Eli Reshef explains when to test, why waiting is so important, and why testing too early at home can be misleading. Early tests may pick up leftover trigger medication, show faint positives that don’t progress, or miss a pregnancy altogether—often leading to unnecessary stress and confusion.​

​Even if you choose to test at home, it’s important to keep all scheduled follow‑up appointments and bloodwork after transfer, regardless of the result. Those tests are the most accurate way to understand what’s happening and guide next steps.​

​✨ Save this if you’re in the two‑week wait — and remember, you’re not alone. 🤍​
