Would Masturbation 6 Days Into Frozen Embryo Transfer While Experiencing Indigestion And Abdominal Discomfort Ruin My Chances Of Conceiving?

Posted on Thu, 24 Nov 2022

Question: I am 45 years old and have had a 5 day frozen embryo transferred 6 days ago (18/7/18). I'm been feeling really unwell such as having a bad cold and indigestion, which is creating great abdominal discomfort. While my clinic in Spain stated no sex l have masturbated twice as l get relieve from my indigestion and l am now concerned that l have ruined my chances as I've read various answers on the net. I am a normal weight and otherwise in good health. I am taking my medication exactly as charted.

Thank you
Sincerely

Brief Answer:
Masturbation will not cause any problem

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Doing masturbation by CLITORAL stimulation will not cause much problem for your frozen embryo transfer.

However, you need to discuss with your doctor regarding stomach upset. Some of the medicines prescribed for supporting pregnancy may be also creating problem for you. So that your infertility specialist can modify those drugs or add few for your discomfort.

I hope my answer helps you.
