When you have fertility treatment, you will be told to wait two weeks after your embryo transfer before you take a pregnancy test. This is because pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, and the levels necessary for a positive result are usually reached around 14 days after fertilisation.![]()
