When can I take a pregnancy test after a FET?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 08/20/2018

Beta-hCG testing to find out whether pregnancy has occurred or not after a Frozen Embryo Transfer can be done within 15 days approximately, which allows you to get more accurate results. If done early, the test may give you a false negative or false positive result back.

There are cases, for example when blastocyst (day 5-6 of development) embryos are used, when the test can be done as early as 10 days after the FET. In any case, the general recommendation is to wait two weeks to take a pregnancy test.
