Can IVF medications mimic pregnancy symptoms?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. The progesterone supplements you take after the transfer are known to cause symptoms that are identical to early pregnancy signs, such as breast tenderness, bloating, fatigue, and mood swings. This is why the only reliable way to confirm a pregnancy is with a blood test. A clinical beta-hCG test allows you to bypass the confusion of these IVF pregnancy symptoms and get a clear, definitive answer without any guesswork of physical signs.
