In my first transfer, i waited 2 full weeks to take the blood test. When i took the blood test it was negative and i was depressed. I still went for pilates etc thinking like exercise is okay. In my second transfer, after 1 week of transfer, i started taking the home pregnancy test. I took 3-4 in total for 1 week before the actual blood test. I also become a complete sloth to make sure im not overoworked or stress. I personally prefer knowing slightly early better wait be anxious waiting for the hcg bloodtest. It gives me a peace of mind and be mentally prepared for the outcome. After 1 week of transfer, i started seeing faint line. And i was thrilled. wish for the best and praying for the worst mentality.
