Brief Answer:
Needs examination

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I understand your concerns about growth in vagina.

This growth is unrelated to IVF treatment.

This is just bulge of urethra or bladder due to fullness. Hence I suggest you get the growth examined by a gynecologist. It is difficult to say without examination.

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test becomes positive only after 15 days of embryo transfer

Detailed Answer:
Hello

After embryo transfer beta hCG blood test becomes positive 15 days later indicating pregnancy has occurred.

Baby will start developing from that stage slowly.

This 15 days window is only for implantation and showing that pregnancy has occurred.
