Since you have taken an HCG trigger shot prior to egg retrieval, the HPT will "work" immediately after transfer - however what you will be seeing is a false positive. Generally speaking, your RE will tell you that you need to wait about 2 weeks for the trigger shot to get out of your system before an HPT positive could be considered due to an actual pregnancy. More specifically, HCG has a half life of 33 hrs, so you can calculate fairly exactly when the shot should be out of your system. For example, if you took a 10,000 unit HCG shot on 11/12/07 at 9pm, here's how your calculation might look:
11/12 9pm - 10000
11/14 5am - 5000
11/15 1pm - 2500
11/16 9pm - 1250
11/18 5am - 625
11/19 1pm - 313
11/20 9pm - 157
11/22 5am - 79
11/23 1pm - 40
11/24 9pm - 20
11/26 8am - 10
Note that if you took a booster shot after the original, you must include that amount in your calculations.
Finally, please note that HPTs vary greatly in their sensitivity - some measure HCG only once it's at about 100, others measure as little as 15-20. There are many sites online that list brands by sensitivity, such as:

Best of luck with your cycle!
A pregnancy test after embryo transfer can be done as soon as two weeks after the transfer and yield accurate results.
This means you're definitely not pregnant.
Yes
Fake it to show positive or fake it to show negative? You cannot fake a hpt to show a positive unless you are pregnant. If you wish to show a negative when you are really pregnant, dip the stick in water (not urine) to make it seem wet, or maybe get a good friend to pee in a cup for you and dip the stick in her urine (in front of the person you are trying to fool).
14 days after intercourse or the day of your expected period.
The HPT will be accurate when its performed 3-4 weeks after intercourse.
No, it takes on average 2 weeks for hcg to be strong enough to show on a hpt,
You have to take a test at a clinic to be sure, but if you are on the pill antibiotics makes it not work. With hpt there's a golden rule: if they show positive - believe them. If they show negative - go to a clinic and take a proper one.

It depends on what kind of HPT you used. They are not all the same. Read the instructions. EPT test
Yes, it is posible. Some HPTs can detect enough HCG hormone as early as 4 days before your missed period. It is rare to get a false positive. If you get a negative, don't assume you aren't pregnant - you could be pregnant and should test again if you miss your period. PS, I long cycle doesn't effect how acurate an HPT is.
It is possible. You will want to make sure than any blood does not come in contact with the test, this includes any blood in your urine as well.
