Fiv negative: how to accept it ?, when does the rule go down?

-

It is always difficult to assume the news of a negative beta, but it is especially difficult when you have been looking for pregnancy for a while and resort to a fertility treatment such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). The lowering of the rule approximately two weeks after the transfer of embryos is a hard blow, because it indicates that IVF has not been successful.

In this article we will give some advice to assume a negative result in IVF and explain some of the possible reasons why this result can be obtained in the pregnancy test.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Negative IVF: How to accept it? When does the rule decrease?

Result of pregnancy test

Once the embryo transfer has been made, it is necessary to wait at least 12-15 days to perform the pregnancy test. If we do the test early we increase the probability of obtaining an anomalous result or, as they say, a false positive or a false negative.

In addition, specialists recommend not to perform the pregnancy test at home, but wait for the blood test in the clinic to obtain a more reliable result.

When to do the pregnancy test after an IVF?

If the analysis of the hormone beta-hCG (hormone by which pregnancy is checked) is done at the right time and in the right way, the chances of getting the wrong result are very low. Therefore, if we obtain a negative, we can confirm that the treatment has not worked and that the woman is not pregnant.

Despite this, it is common for the specialist to repeat the pregnancy test after about two or three days to confirm the failure of IVF with greater safety.

Rule after negative IVF

Many women wonder how long it takes to lower the rule after confirming IVF failure, that is, the absence of pregnancy.

Generally, doubt is motivated by the desire to try again to achieve pregnancy, because the drop in menstruation will mark the beginning of a new cycle and that, the possibility of doing a new IVF treatment.

Although it is expected that the rule goes down after doing the pregnancy test, ie, about two weeks after the transfer, it is normal that there is a slight delay. The medication administered during the treatment of IVF, both for ovarian stimulation and for the preparation of the endometrium, can cause hormonal imbalances responsible for the delay of the rule.

It is normal that the body needs a time to return to its basal state in relation to the hormones and the control they exert on the menstrual cycle. Thus, the rule should go down after a few days after leaving the medication.

If after two weeks since the medication was left, the rule does not go down, it is recommended to consult with the specialist to check the status of the hormonal system and its effect on the ovarian cycle.

It is also possible that the first rule after IVF treatment is more painful or different from the usual rules due to the effects of hormonal drugs and the IVF treatment itself.

Facing negative IVF

As we have said, assuming a negative result in in vitro fertilization is not easy, especially from the emotional point of view. Some of the tips for dealing with the negative beta and being able to start a new cycle of IVF are:

  • You should not torture yourself with questions that have no answer such as: what did I do ?, what did not I do ?, how could it go wrong ?, what was missing? They do not help you feel better nor can it serve you the next time you try. You only generate sadness.
Why is the pregnancy test negative?
  • If you need it, cry. It is good to let off steam and not suppress emotions.
  • Performing relaxation exercises such as yoga or mindfulness techniques can be beneficial to calm anxiety, reduce negativity and increase positive attitude, essential to start a new attempt.
  • Sharing feelings can help you better assimilate the negative in the pregnancy test.
  • In case you have decided to inform friends, family and acquaintances that you are in a reproduction clinic trying to conceive, it is advisable to clarify that you do not want questions. You will already inform of the results when you are ready. In this way uncomfortable questions and compromised situations are avoided.
  • To resort to psychological help in cases in which the negative result has caused great anguish, anxiety or emotional stress may be necessary and very positive to face it.

Psychological help

The vast majority of reproductive centers have a department of specialists in assisted reproduction psychology willing to help you, not only to accept the problems of fertility and the need for assisted reproduction to conceive a child, but also offer help during the entire process, including the final pregnancy test.

Help to accept a negative IVF

When this test is negative, there are many feelings that arise, the illusions that are truncated and the frustration generated. In this aspect, having the psychological support of specialists who understand what you are going through and who offer you a personalized help to your situation can reduce the situation of anguish.

In addition, this help is also important to face a new reproductive challenge, forgetting the negative of the previous one. Undergoing a new fertility treatment when you just have a negative experience is not easy. The psychological support in this sense is essential to be able to put all the illusion and effort in the new cycle, because the attitude is important in the reproductive success.

Questions from users

What is the reason for having obtained a negative result in the pregnancy test after an IVF?

There are many possible causes why IVF may have failed and have resulted in a negative pregnancy test result. It may be due to the quality of the gametes (ovules and sperm), the quality of the generated embryo, genetic alterations incompatible with embryonic development, abnormalities or malformations in the uterus, problems at the immune level, etc.

After a negative IVF, a personalized study should be done to try to know the possible cause or causes and optimize the next treatment, with the aim of achieving pregnancy in this new attempt.

Is natural pregnancy possible after a negative IVF?

Although it is not frequent, there have been several cases of couples who, after several unsuccessful IVF attempts, decide to abandon the treatment due to emotional exhaustion and, after a while, achieve a natural pregnancy.

In this sense, emotions and their effects on fertility play a very important role.

After a negative IVF, when can I do the next?

This depends on each case and the indications given by the doctor. However, generally, you can try again pregnancy in the next cycle, that is, once the rule comes back to the woman.

From the emotional point of view, it is recommended to wait until you have faced the negative result to start a new IVF treatment with a positive attitude and hope.
