After returning home, you will continue to take hormone medications. Pregnancy can be confirmed 2 weeks after embryo transfer. If you are pregnant, you will continue taking your hormone medications for a full 10 weeks after embryo transfer. If you are not pregnant, these medications are discontinued. If the doctor recommends that you have additional blood tests or ultrasounds to confirm the pregnancy, the costs of these additional tests are extra.
Some couples choose to have pre-embryos cryopreserved and transferred later.
It is entirely up to you which type of embryo transfer you have. Also remember that donors are screened for HIV before each donation cycle with an antigen test that detects the HIV infection weeks rather than months after exposure. Furthermore, it is not clear whether or not oocytes can harbor the HIV virus successfully. In some cases, egg donors are expected to produce more than the average number of mature oocytes. In such cases, two recipient couples might be matched to the same donor.
