Question 1

should i have bed rest after embryo transfer? and can i drink ginger?

Accepted Answer

Bed rest: Is not supported by any evidence at all and I do not recommend it, but you should follow your doctor's advice. I am not aware of any reason you couldn't use ginger, but again ask your doc first.

Question 2

i just did icsi on my first day after embryo transfer, fourth day since retreival..can i laugh a lot i was watching a comedy show and my stomach hurts?

Accepted Answer

Laughter: Laughter is the best medicine. It will not impact your fertility. Enjoy your TV show.

Question 3

whit fluid after embryo transfer normal?

Accepted Answer

Any: Generally, fluid is used to cleanse the cervix reducing bacteria and increasing the chances of pregnancy.  The fluid can be left after the transfer and is experienced by the patient as leaking fluid.  We tell patients that the embryos can no fall out after the transfer.  The cervix is making much more mucous under the stimulation of estrogen which can mimic loss of fluid  vaginally. Mwww.jcrm.org

Question 4

would bleeding after embryo transfer be a problem?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Heavy bleeding, like a period, is worrisome but might still be okay. Light bleeding/spotting is 
t-o-t-a-l-l-y to be expected and is not to worry.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

what are the causes for failed embryo implantation after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Probabilities: A high proportion of natural embryos do not  implant, the same is true for IVF/embryo transfer. Rates improve with pre-screening of the developing embryos, and with younger age of donor (40 have similar rates with donor eggs, very low rates with their own eggs.

Question 7

gas after embryo transfer is normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Probably should not have gas after an embryo transfer but if you were anxious leading up to the procedure, which is completely understandable and expected, you might have done a little month breathing and got some extra air in your stomach that you are now passing.  I would not worry to much.  Good luck and i hope this helps.

Question 8

are cramps normal after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As the uterus grows "stretching" pains/cramps become more common.

Question 9

white discharge after embryo transfer is normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The discharge you are describing is normal vaginal discharge.  Make sure that it does not have an odor and does not itch and/or irritating because that could mean it could be a vaginal infection.  Hope this helps.

Question 10

can i test pregnancy on day 9 after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Follow your clinic: Your doctor and ivf clinic most likely gave you instructions when to come in for a blood pregnancy test. You should follow their instructions. It is not a good idea to test on your own.
