Can Rise In Temperature With Cold Affect Embryo Transfer?

I had an embryo transfer 5 days ago and in that time, I ve caught a cold. I do not know yet if the treatment was a success and I continue to take my IVF medications. I would like to know what, if any, impact can the cold have on the implanted embryo. Could this lower my chances of a success? My symptoms are mild with minimal increase in temperature. Thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that any sign of chills and fever is indication of infection and this need to be ruled out, as such you must have gone through some surgical intervention or procedure then this need to be consider now this may affect the embryo or may not be this would be uncertain, take care and have a nice day.
