Normally you can get a fairly precise result from a home pregnancy test within a couple of weeks after you’ve received your fertility treatment but the majority of clinics will run the tests on your behalf. It is essential to remember though that if the test is carried out too soon after the treatment, the test might show a false positive.
Naturally there are other signs of being pregnant for example: feeling nauseous, using the bathroom more frequently, lack of menstrual cycle, mood shifts, tiredness and finer sensation of smell and taste.
Generally, the fertility clinic will keep in contact in the first few weeks when you get pregnant to go through ultrasound scans to check the development of your foetus. You may find that your clinic is one of those that do not continue supporting you after their part of the agreement is complete so separate arrangements will have to be sorted out to look after your pregnancy and delivery.
If your fertility treatment is productive, don’t be worried if you are not as ecstatic as you thought you would be as it can take a while to adapt to this. This should not worry you too much as, many expectant mothers have them when they learn they are going to have a baby and it affects those that have had a natural pregnancy equally with those who have used a fertility clinic.
A common misconception is that a pregnancy from fertility treatment will be harder than someone who hasn’t used fertility treatment however, you may find it more emotionally unsettling. Although, at times it might mean you need more scans or appointments at the hospital. This might be because they have had past problems before like miscarriages, multiple birth, and stillbirths or, because of their overall health. A womans physical age could also be a deciding point because the older you are the greater your chance of complications will be.
An interesting fact is that there are in excess of a million children globally that have been successfully born using fertility treatment such as In Vitro Fertilization for example and there is no reason why they should not be healthy children. This does not mean there will not be any problems because all medical treatment and every pregnancy have some risk, even those conceived naturally, but fortunately almost all of the problems are minor. You may find it hard but try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy if you possibly can.
The number of women who miscarry IVF is slightly higher than through normal conception. There are normally two primary causes for this: the first is that a pregnancy test is carried out in the early stages of pregnancy following the fertility treatment. Then there is the case where a woman who has become pregnant by the natural route might think she has gone through a late period but has in fact made a fertilized egg that failed to implant. Secondly, there is a greater chance of miscarrying as you get older and women who get fertility treatment are commonly older on average than those who conceive naturally. If there is anything you are unsure of, you would be wise to speak to a doctor from the fertility clinic.
