Hi... I have gone through your case. My advice is post embryo transfer you should not rely on urine pregnancy test as blood levels are sometimes not enough to be detected by urine test. Rather you should do a beta HCG blood test.
Constipation is more common after a IVF because you must be on progesterone supplementation for luteal support which is the reason for constipation. Need not to be worried just have plenty of liquids and green leafy vegetables.
