One of the most successful ‘assisted reproductive methods’ , IVF is a process by which egg cells taken out from mother’s body and are fertilized with the sperm of the donor. The whole process is conducted inside an incubator, and it takes around three days to complete the fertilization process. After the sufficient development of the embryo, it is placed back in the womb of the mother. The mother is then advised to take a complete bed rest for twelve to fifteen days. After which a pregnancy test is conducted to confirm the treatment. Usually a serum pregnancy test is done to test the progesterone levels. It is a kind of blood test done to confirm the pregnancy. These blood tests are conducted repeatedly to monitor for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages. However home pregnancy tests after IVF can also be conducted to confirm the treatment.
A pregnancy test at home usually checks the human chorionic gonadotropin, in the urine.
This HCG is produced by the placenta only if an embryo is successfully implanted. These are a few facts about pregnancy tests after IVF.
- Usually a home pregnancy test gives a positive result during the time of a missed period, however since the HCG is administered during the IVF process, conducting an early home pregnancy test after IVF can give false positive results.
- A blood test is usually more reliable than a home pregnancy test after IVF.
- Vaginal ultrasound is also an effective method of testing pregnancy after IVF. The ultrasound is usually crucial in determining the number of pregnancies. An IVF treatment usually has a higher chance of multiple pregnancies.
- If the test is positive, then repeated ultrasounds and blood tests are conducted by the doctor to monitor the pregnancy.
It is never easy to decide to have a baby with a help of IVF. A difficult and nerve wracking process, one needs to be absolutely confident and prepared for all the risks, hassles and hard work while conducting an IVF. However IVF is one of the most successful inventions of medical science that helps in overcoming infertility. With the help of advanced technology the process has become a lot more smooth and seamless. After the initial transfer of embryo, a simple blood test or a home pregnancy test after IVF helps in confirming the pregnancy. The success rate of an IVF treatment has increased effectively.
Thus more and more childless couples, these days are trying out the option of IVF successfully.

The early signs of pregnancy would be the symptoms that you should fully understand and it can be physical or emotional. They are ways for the woman to discover the alterations going on within her body in planning for a growing foetus. Changes may take place during the first trimester as bodily hormones is going to be launched two weeks after conception. To understand more, this is the list of the most common early pregnancy symptoms.
Missed Period
For women who’ve regular cycles, examining a missed period won’t be difficult. In some cases, women have to confirm other symptoms to make sure for pregnancy. Some women may have light spotting around the time of implantation, or near to the time of their usual period. This is due to the fertilised ovum burrows to the uterine lining.
Morning Sickness
Morning sickness does not usually occur in the morning, it can occur any moment of the day. It will be manifested by feeling sick or repeated vomiting. For other women, they mistake this symptom for stomach disorder or food poisoning. The impact of the pregnancy hormones (Human chorionic gonadotrophin and estrogen) can cause this sign even before you know you are expecting a baby.
Breast Changes
If you feel a tingling feeling, fullness of your breast, as well as over tenderness of your nipples, this is simply a sign of the normal modifications taking place in your body. As the body works on itself for breastfeeding, 2 weeks following conception, the breast might start to feel swollen, sensitive, tender and even painful. However, this sign of pregnancy can be seen as early as first week after conception.
Mood Swings And Irritability
Irritability is usually secondary to exhaustion and surging bodily hormones. Mood swings are normal in early pregnancy. It’s characterised by irritability and weeping for no causes. Something may go through not quite the same or you may experience elated emotions such as enjoyment or weepiness.
Food Cravings
If you long for certain type of foods even if you aren’t hungry can also be an indicator. However, don’t rely on a craving for mangoes and cakes as a sure sign of pregnancy. At times, it could be all in your mind, or maybe a sign that your body is missing in certain food components. If you think you are having a child, visit your physician to determine the reason for your food cravings.
Tiredness
Exhaustion and low degree of energy can be among the early signs of pregnancy. The symptom can be attributed to lack of sleep, busy schedule and hormonal imbalance. High levels of the hormone progesterone experienced during pregnancy can make you really feel exhausted. This sign could be experienced around the first week after conception.
Frequent Urination
During pregnancy, some women will start making more repeated urgency to urinate. It’s one of the earliest signs of pregnancy and it’s quite common throughout the first trimester and the third trimester. This occurs as early as first week and is one of the hallmark signs of pregnancy. The growing size of uterus compresses the urinary bladder resulting in frequent urination.

 There are actually two ‘normal’ Blood Sugar Levels. One is pre-meal and the other is a post-meal Blood Sugar Levels. Ordinarily, your Blood Sugar Levels as soon as you wake up should be the lowest. The ‘highs’ would happen post meal and would depend on the individual meals. The normal range of Blood Sugar Levels would be between 3.6 and 5.8 mM (mmol/L) or 70 and 150 mg. Anything over 150 mg would indicate high Blood Sugar Levels (diabetic or hyperglycemia) whereas anything below 3.6 (mmol/L) or 70 mg would indicate low Blood Sugar Levels know as hypoglycemia.
Impact of low Blood Sugar Levels
It is vital for human to stay within normal range of the Blood Sugar Levels as the high’s and low’s could prove to be fatal. For example if your Blood Sugar Levels are below 3.6 (mmol/L) or 70 mg, you would start to feel lethargic, be irritable, suffer from impaired brain function and ultimately your body would shut down i.e. go into comma.
Impact of high Blood Sugar Levels
High Blood Sugar Levels (hyperglycemia) are just as fatal. Untreated Hyperglycemia or diabetes mellitus causes extensive kidney, eye and nerve damage.
Causes of low or high Blood Sugar Levels
You could suffer from high or low Blood Sugar Levels either due to the adverse life style you might be following (irregular sleeping hours, irregular meals, unbalanced diets, unhealthy diets) or due to recent surgery, illness, stress, pregnancy, trauma etc. Only your family physician or specialist can tell you the cause of your abnormal Blood Sugar Levels. However, if the reason for abnormal Blood Sugar Levels is recent surgery, illness, stress, pregnancy or trauma, then chances are the abnormality will rectify itself as soon as you recover. In the interim period however, your doctor might prescribe some medication to ensure you do not suffer due abnormal Blood Sugar Levels.
Checking your Blood Sugar Levels
Essentially, there are two ways to check your blood sugar levels – at home by using a glucose meter or at a clinical lab. The usual norm is to first do a
series of tests at a clinical lab. If the Blood Sugar Levels are abnormal then you would want to buy a blood sugar testing kit (usually costs under $60). A blood glucose or blood sugar testing kit consist of a box that contains a blood glucose meter, a lancing device that looks like a pen and is used to extract a small drop of blood and, a small (usually) cylindrical white box that contains blood glucose testing strips.
Checking your Blood Sugar Levels at home is simplicity itself – just follow the instructions of the leaflet that comes with the kit and you should be able to test your Blood Sugar Levels in less than 5 minutes. Of course, there will be a minor degree of error as compared to tests done at a clinical laboratory. But unless you have a faulty blood glucose testing kit, the margin or error is usually negligible. It would be like saying the time is 16:53:18 verses “oh its 4:55”.

If you are pregnant, you will be offered prenatal screening tests to check for spina bifida and other birth defects. These tests are not perfect. Even if the results are negative, there is still a small chance that spina bifida is present, and many mothers who have positive blood tests have normal babies. Speak with your doctor about prenatal testing, its risks and how you might handle the results. Prenatal testing is a personal choice.
Following are methods used to check for spina bifida during pregnancy:
- Blood tests. The primary test used to check for myelomeningocele is the maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) test. In this procedure, your doctor draws a blood sample to be sent to a laboratory, where it’s tested for alpha fetoprotein (AFP), a protein that’s produced by the fetus. It’s normal for a small amount of AFP to cross the placenta and enter the mother’s bloodstream, but abnormally high levels of AFP may indicate that the fetus has a neural tube defect. Varying levels of AFP can be caused by factors including a miscalculation in fetal age or multiple fetuses. If this occurs, your doctor may order a follow-up blood test for confirmation. If the results are still high, you will need further evaluation, including an ultrasound examination.
- Ultrasound. Many obstetricians use ultrasonography to screen for spina bifida. If blood tests indicate high AFP levels, your doctor will suggest an ultrasound exam to determine why. Ultrasound exams bounce high-frequency sound waves off tissues in your body to form black and white images on a small video monitor. The information these images provide can help establish whether there is more than one fetus and can help confirm gestational age – factors that can alter AFP levels. An advanced ultrasound can also detect signs of spina bifida, such as an open spine or particular features in your baby’s brain that may indicate spina bifida. Ultrasound today is quite effective in detecting spina bifida and assessing its severity. This procedure is safe for both mother and baby.
- Amniocentesis. If a blood test shows high levels of AFP in your blood and the ultrasound is normal, your doctor may offer an amniocentesis. During an amniocentesis, your doctor uses a needle to remove samples of fluid from the amniotic sac that surrounds the fetus. The analysis indicates the level of AFP present in the amniotic fluid. A small amount of AFP is normally found in amniotic fluid, however the amniotic fluid contains an elevated amount of AFP when an open neural tube defect is present because the skin surrounding the baby’s spine is gone and AFP leaks into the amniotic sac. A second test can be done on the same sample to confirm that a neural tube defect is present. However, an amniocentesis cannot indicate the severity of spina bifida. This test does have a risk to the developing fetus – about one in 200 to one in 500 pregnant women miscarries after an amniocentesis.

Prenatal testing has turned into an unlikely campaign issue. Presidential candidate Rick Santorum said this week that some tests, in his words, “encourage abortions.”
“CBS This Morning” took a look at a new test that reveals birth abnormalities at a much earlier stage. The test is sure to give many more pregnant women and their families a lot to think about.
Recent advancements in genetics have helped doctors develop a safer test for Down syndrome than amniocentesis, an invasive procedure that can identify many genetic disorders but can also result in miscarriage.
The new test, called the MaterniT21, can be administered at just 10 weeks and is nearly 100 percent accurate. The test works by analyzing the mother’s blood and counts fragments from the fetus’s DNA to identify the presence of an extra chromosome, which can signify Down syndrome.
According to Dr. Brian Skotoko, a medical geneticist at Children’s Hospital Boston, this is the beginning of a new era of prenatal screening.
“There is no risk to the fetus – a simple blood drop from your arm. This new test raises a provocative question of how much do we test for and do we as a society draw the line?” Skotoko told CBS News.
Expectant parents are routinely offered prenatal testing for various genetic disorders — not just Down syndrome. The tests may lead to more difficult decisions for many parents.
Melanie McLaughlin, a mother who decided to go through with her pregnancy following a test that indicated her baby would have Downs syndrome, said of the latest test, “If it’s not for Down syndrome what is it for? Is it for homosexuality? Is it for breast cancer? Is it for Alzheimer’s? Is it for, you know, autism? Because you’re going to need to ask those questions, because they’re coming.”
The earlier testing means mothers are going to be challenged with a decision earlier in their pregnancies, Dr. Paul Root Wolpe, director of the Center for Ethics at Emory University, said on “CBS This Morning.”
“If they do choose to terminate the pregnancy, it will be a less complicated procedure,” Wolpe said. “… More and more women are going to be facing tough decisions as this test and similar tests are developed.”
Research from the U.K. suggests that for most women — more than 90 percent studied — would have an abortion if she knew she were having a baby with Down syndrome.
“Do you think this could lead to a world without Down Syndrome kids,” Gayle King asked.
Wolpe said it’s unlikely. In the U.S., that statistic on women aborting over Down syndrome may be lower.
“Some women will not get the test, other women choose…not to abort even though they have the information,” Wolpe said. “… I don’t think that we’re going to end up, at least in the foreseeable future, in a world without kids with Down syndrome, and many parents, I think actually take the path (of not aborting) and end up very glad they did.”
