How To Avoid Sleeping On Sides After Embryo Transfer?

Just had a 5 day embryo transfer today approx 10 hours ago.... Was told to lay flat on my back, not on sides for at least 2 days even while sleeping.... I m having a tough time keeping this up.... Was told it helps prevent ectopic pregnancy. How do I get through these days?

Hi there, I have understood understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.
2 ) As such implantation will take place in 48 to 72 hours of embryo transfer, and embryo will get embedded in the endometrium. After that there is no chance of getting ectopic pregnancy.

So please do not worry.
You can simply take analgesic like paracetamol from your treating doctor's prescription.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
