IVF | FAQs | What are Do's and Don'ts after Embryo Transfer? #drmalpani #ivftreatment

One of the commonest questions patients ask - " Doctor, what are the dos and don'ts after the embryo transfer? " They are very worried about the risk of failure and are petrified that they may end up doing something which will cause their embryos to "fall out" of the uterus. Many will often spend the entire 2 weeks wait obsessing about their diet and physical activity. Some will even put themselves on voluntary house arrest. Even worse, their relatives will often force them to sleep in a bed for 14 days after the transfer.

Watch the video to know some of the tips on what to do and what not to do when you’re on your 2-week wait post embryo transfer.

Thank you dr for your explanation. I've been afraid if something happened to my embryo as I wake up to toilet just after my procedure ET end (full bladder issue as I need to pee so hard) and thank you for reassurance. However, I'm on crinone after ET, can I insert my finger into my vagina just to clean residual crinone before reinsert new crinone? Is it okay?
