Is Faint Line In HPT Sign Of Pregnancy After IVF?

My wife had 4 embryos transplanted november 16. we are in ivf treatment. today she is 10 days post transplant, we took an hpt this morning and it showed a very faint positive but only after 20 mins. Could it be that she is positive and the hcg is at a level too low for quick detection in urine hpt?

Hallow Dear,

Faint line on urine pregnancy test indicates that the levels of hCG are low. They happen in either ectopic pregnancy, non-viable baby or blighted ovum. Since you have 4 embryos implanted, the pregnancy test should be definitively positive after 10 days.

Please report to your Gynaecologist to assess the safety and viability of the implanted embryos. If they are all non-viable, pregnancy may have to be terminated.

Wishing you best luck,

Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
