What Are The Pregnancy Symptoms To Look For After Embryo Transfer?
Question: what pregnancy symptoms to look for after embryo transfer in ivf treatment. Embryo transfer happened 2 days before
Brief Answer:
Vague and unreliable symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I can understand your anxiety after the embryo transfer.
However, even in a normal pregnancy, the symptoms are vast, varied and mostly unreliable.
They may include - breast tenderness, feeling of bloating, nausea, tiredness, easy and quick feeling of fatigue, prominence of veins on the breasts etc.
None of these are specific for diagnosis of a pregnancy.
IN IVF cycles, the symptoms are furthermore non specific due to external hormones being given.
So as such, there are no symptoms that can be correctly attributed to a pregnancy.
It is best not to pay attention to such symptoms, it leads to unnecessary worry and confusion.
The best and most objective method of confirming a pregnancy , after embryo transfer, is to have a positive blood pregnancy test.
Please wait for that date.
I wish you all the luck with the procedure.
Take care.
Please feel free to discuss further.
