Urine test before mock embryo transfer

[Anonymous]

I had a mock transfer done today. They wanted a urine sample before I went back to the ultrasound room. I should have asked when they requested it, but did not. The office is closed now and for some reason, this curiosity is bugging me. Does anyone know what the urine test was for? Is this standard procedure?

Thanks!

Pregnancy test probably. The don't want to cause a miscarriage if you are already pregnant via some crazy miracle.

they just wanted to make sure that you're not pregnant before they did the mock embryo transfer. fairly standard.
