After a long journey, I finally got a positive IVF pregnancy test result! I'm so happy but also a bit overwhelmed. What usually happens next in terms of appointments or care after getting a positive IVF result? Is there anything specific I should know?
Congratulations! Next step is checking the hormone levels again in a couple of days. Keep taking your progesterone supports exactly as prescribed without missing a single dose.
Congrats! Start budgeting for the upcoming blood tests, scans, and delivery packages. IVF pregnancies need close monitoring initially, so check with your clinic on packages to save some costs.
After the positive beta hCG, the doctor will schedule a repeat test in 48 hours to check if the numbers are doubling. Only after that will they plan the first scan around week 6 to check the gestational sac.
It's a huge milestone! Coordinate immediately with your fertility coordinator or senior consultant to get your exact medication schedule and calendar for the first trimester scans.
So happy for you! Focus on warm, home-cooked food and rest well, but make sure to call your doctor immediately if you ever face any cramping or spotting.
