Can you describe how you felt right after and in the few days following embryo transfer?

Question

i felt quite elated at the chance of pregnancy however small and also amazed by science etc! I also felt anxious and now, one day later, am obsessed with worrying about doing anything that might ruin my chances. I get upset by car bumps or having to cimb a few stairs.

I also feel abdominal heaviness and have had one or two very minor jabbing pains in womb.

How did you feel?

Answer 1

Congratulations on making it to embryo transfer!! Some women don't get there due to age, ovarian reserve,etc.  

I understand your concern especially since the percentage is fairly low.  I think the occasional cramp is normal.  I have felt this on and off and I had my emby transfer on Sunday.  The important thing is to not stress.  Just make sure you follow doctors orders.  Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water (to aid with constipation due to the progesterone injections.)  I have climbed the stairs in our home numerous times during the day and I think it is fine.  If you have abnormal spotting/bleeding, are unable to urinate, or have a fever over 100.4, call your doctor.  Otherwise, rest easy...the 2wk wait is the worst!!! : * )  Best wishes!!
