    My cousin who is trying to conceive form past 8 years ,recently undergoing IVF treatment.
    Brief about her:
    Aged 32 yrs, Throid from past 5 yeras (under control),had 2 ectopic pregnancy in the past 4 yrs while undergoing fertility treatments.

    Now coming to my question,
    She had ET on 17th jan morning and today morning she had been for blood test which showed Positive pregnancy.She also developed shortness of breath and fluid accumulation in the lungs,which doc said its quiet common in IVF process and removed the same.

    Now my cousin is worried whether this will bring any hinder in furthur pregnancy.She got positive pregnancy after 8 days of ET,it menas implantion has succesful.
    But doc has advised ofor urine test on 1st Feb(2 weeks after ET) ,not getting why,is it to reconfirm pregancy before scan?

    Are there any other complication during IVF process after this stage.

    Hi Harun... the first positive test was done to ensure that the implantation has happened. The reason for the follow up beta(more preferable)/ urine test is to ensure that the HCG levels are satisfactory to confirm it isnt a chemical pregnancy. If the HCG levels have gone up, it would show up and confirm that there is a case of a positive pregnancy and with a gestational sac.

    Post that the next check would be the early pregnancy scan to confirm that there is a heartbeat in the sac, which is usually visible by week 7/ 8.

    Best wishes to your cousin and hope she has a smooth pregnancy! Please ask her to relax and not to get stressed...its very important that after an IVF that there is minimum stress taken on to ensure that the body and mind are able to support the pregnancy.

    WiniPooh your abosolutely right thanks for the reply

    doc has chekd whether the implantation has happened.They have trasferred 3 fertilised eggs and the HCG levels showed 61(8 days post egg trasfer).
    Also another imp thing,can chemical pregnancies possible even in IVF procedures.
    Her both tubes are removed followed by 2 ectopic pregnancies.
    Looks like she is also facing mild OHSS ,as fluid accumulated in the lungs(shortness in bretah developed) and it had been removed.There was NO need of any hospital stay.
