Day 7 after embryo transfer is usually too early to test for pregnancy. The hormone levels measured by home pregnancy tests are typically not high enough to detect at this stage. It's often recommended to wait until day 10-14 for more reliable results. Testing too early can lead to false negatives, which can cause unnecessary stress.
