Question 1

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 2

what can effect embryo implantation after embryo transfer? 
what can cause it to fail?

Accepted Answer

Uterus: The implantation of an embryo is very fragile and complicated process.  This can be disrupted by many things including hormonal imbalance, trauma, and even stress.  Often times, some of these things are out of our control and no fault of our own.

Question 3

when does implantation happen after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

6-to-7 days old: A fertilized egg/embryo always implants in the uterus when it is between 6-to-7 days old.

Question 4

after embryo transfer, i woke up to an orgasm from a dream.  i am not sure why this has happened and am worried it effect implantation?

Accepted Answer

No: This should not have any impact at all on the implantation.   You can relax!

Question 5

could i have implantation bleeding at 6 days post embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Bleeding post transfer can be caused by a friable, or cervix thats bleed easy, a small bleed behind the gestational sac, following intercourse, the loss of a twin and/or signs of an early miscarriage or a difficult et. If you have any bleeding, contact your doctor immediately. And remember, it may not be a bad sign. Probably would consider starting Progesterone to help quiet the uterus.

Question 6

why do i bleed a few days after embryo transfer?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: It may be related to the transfer but i would let your doctor know since it may not be normal.

Question 7

bleeding on day 11 after embryo transfer. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Although up to 23% of women can bleed in early pregnancy, bleeding 11 days after embryo transfer may indicate that the transfer was not successul and you are not pregnant and/or an early sign of a miscarriage or what is called a biochemical pregnancy.  You should get a blood HCG level to help determine what is going on.  Failed implantation and/or miscarriages are more common as women get older.

Question 8

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 9

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.

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.
