is it normal to get symptoms of having period after embryo transfer?

Question

Hi I have slight belly button pain after 5th day embryo transfer is this normal also have slight period like pains?

Answer 1

Maybe...: Some cramping feelings and pressure/bloating may be normal after et. I'd discuss with your ivf doc in person, you can't get any real advice about et online.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Preimplantation test: In ivf (in vitro fertilization) a new technique can now check the dna of each embryo for anomalies and only transfer cytogenetically healthy embryos, thus decreasing your chances for miscarriage and chromosomally abnormal offspring. It does little to improve your transfer success rate.

Answer 4

Respectfully disagree: In our experience, by doing pgs, or checking each embryo to make sure it is chromosomal normal not only improves pregnancy rates but decreases the risk of a miscarriage. Although some clinics disagree with this, our data definitely supports the increase pregnancy rates and decrease miscarriage rates with chromosome testing. Also, emotionally, you know that you transferred normal embryos; and if abnormal, at least you did not do an et and were hopeful and spend the money on a transfer.

Answer 5

PGS/PGD: Pgd is the diagnosis of a specific disorder (sickle cell, tay sachs). Pgs is genetic screening of each embryo. Before pgs, we transferred the best looking embryos and hoped that at least 1 took . Now with pgs, we know that many of these normal appearing embryos are genetically abnormal. Pgs allows the selection of genetically normal embryos and have improved the implantation and delivery rates.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

Probably: Can't promise it is normal, but it is very common. If you are worried talk with your ivf doc.

Answer 8

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.
