Question 1

took hot and spicy food day 1 of embryo transfer, any cause for alarm?

Accepted Answer

What food?: I don't know specifically what you ate, but in general "no" eating spicy food will not affect your ET at all - don't worry.

Question 2

what is the best food to have after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

: No specific food is needed.For healthy diet visit this site for information: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/
No tobacco, no alcohol, no street drugs.
Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Question 3

after my frozen embryo transfer, can i eat prunes, papaya, eggs, spicy food and decaf coffee?

Accepted Answer

: A woman who prior to an infertility procedure was able to eat prunes, papaya, eggs, spicy foods, and decaff coffee with no problems, should be able to continue doing that after her procedure and not expect problems. If a woman is in her 40's, her chances of a normal uncomplicated pregnancy are not as good as if she were in her 20's. If worried, she can substitute some foods until after pregnancy.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Embryo transfer: Embryo transfer (also et, set. Fet, etc) refers to placing one or more human embryo(s) (multi-cell or blastocyst) into the uterus of a woman trying to become pregnant.  Et is the final step in an ivf cycle, and is done in some other circumstances as well. It is extremely safe, mostly comfortable, and usually not technically difficult. Experts agree on its importance, but often differ on specifics.

Question 5

if my embryos were frozen on day 5, and then thawed for an embryo transfer, are they considered day 5 or day 6? they were graded 4ab and 4bb. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Day 5: If they were frozen on d5, then thawed and transferred without spending additi90nal time in media they are considered d5. You should always consult your ivf doctor for specifics, since he/she knows your case better than we do.  Embryos are sometimes graded 1, 2, 3..., sometimes a, b, c, but sounds like you have a great bunch...Best of luck!

Question 6

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 7

why im bleeding after my embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

A lot of reasons: It could be bleeding from the cervix. Some women have cervices that bleed when touched. Could be from a traumatic transfer or could be from a drop in the estrogen levels. It does not always mean a bad thing for a successful pregnancy.

Question 8

multiple embryo transfer bleeding, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Tell your IVF doc!: Do it now. Bleeding after ivf/et is very common, but can also be related to problems. We cannot help you online, call your ivf doc and see what he/she wants you to do. Good luck.

Question 9

3 days after embryo transfer, can i eat chocolate?

Accepted Answer

Of course: There should be no reason that you can not eat chocolate post an embryo transfer.  Enjoy and good luck.

Question 10

twinges after embryo transfer, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Generally you would like an embryo transfer to go without any bleeding, cramping or discomfort; however, a few twinges should not generally effect the success of the transfer and subsequent implantation rates.  I would suggest that you be on intramuscular Progesterone injections to quiet your uterus and to give you the maximum chance for implantation and a successful pregnancy.  Good luck.
