Well, we sort of know that when hcg with a pregnancy test came negative. That’s basically the way to know that things went wrong. Of course, we can suspect it, if we have a heavy bleeding the previous days but to be sure, we need the blood test.

We will know that the embryo transfer has failed when the pregnancy test is negative.
Answer from: Santiago Eduardo Novoa, MD
If there was a failure or a success, whatever the situation is, we know really like in any other pregnancy at the first pregnancy test. So from that, the future, if we have a positive pregnancy test is the same as in any other pregnancy. I mean a pregnancy test positive can go into a negative one in a second test pregnancies, can go fine at the beginning but then end in an early miscarriage like in the normal population (like 20% of pregnancies are lost in the first trimester) and then, if the pregnancy goes on, so any complication that can arrive, like in the normal life. Thank god most of the pregnancies and most of the babies are normal, so from that point of view, we should not be so worried.
