Does Viral Infection Affect Implantation?

Posted on Mon, 3 Oct 2016

Question: I just had my frozen embryo transfer on Tuesday and started having running nose yesterday being a Saturday will it affect implantation ?

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (57 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to affect implantation

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If there is no symptoms like fever, sore throat or body ache, which are suggestive of viral infection, then only the running nose is unlikely to affect the implantation.
Running nose can be due to allergic rhinitis, which is unlikely to affect implantation.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
