Hi
Thanks for writing in
What I gather from your history is :
1] Abrupt weight loss - basically can not be related to embryo transfer, though with watery stools you may loose some weight
2] Are you any medicines that are given to retain the embryo ? If yes give me the list of medicines you are already taking ?
3] Do you have a history of Acid peptic disease or any drug sensitivity ?
Any other symptom you would like to elaborate
Please get back this detail to me and I will try to help you out
Wishing you a healthy life ahead

Thanks for your response. Please find below responses to your queries:
2] Are you any medicines that are given to retain the embryo ? If yes give me the list of medicines you are already taking ?
--> Progesterone injection in oil and Progynova tablets being taken for embryo retention. Other medicines have been also mentioned previously.
3] Do you have a history of Acid peptic disease or any drug sensitivity ?
--> No.
Today's situation: The loose motion seems to have got better today and the color of stool is normal.
Please suggest if this weakness, weight loss, loose motion, etc., would have had any adverse affect on the embryo implantation.
Any further precautions to be taken?

Hi
Thanks for writing in again
Hormonal tabs are known to cause some erosive gastritis which can lead to black colored stools
Watery stools can be due to some form of contamination in meals or drinks
Now that you have been improving it it better you take adequate fluids
Take rest as cramps in abdomen can be associated with other smooth muscle contractions
Avoid straining
Hope fully this should be taken car of
It this persists and there is more weight loss and/or the stools do not turn normal - you should see your obstetrician and get yourself examined for complete blood count and stool examination
Hope this helps
Do not hesitate to write back in case of concern
Wishing you a speedy recovery
