orgasm after embryo transfer

[jan_83]

Hi, im hoping someone can help me. On Monday 11th April I had my eggs collected for ICSI, on Saturday 16th I had the embryo transfer and on Monday 18th I had an orgasm. I'm concerned because I've read that having an orgasm can stop the embryo implantation from happening. Is his true?? I know I have to wait unil next week to find out for sure if I'm pregnant or not but hoped someone could let me know if an orgasm so soon after embryo transfer can stop implantation. Thank you.

Did the orgasm affect the outcome of IVF?

Thank you for replying. I guess I'll have to try not to stress about it too much and keep my fingers crossed.

I'm not sure about it but my RE always said no sex in 2 weeks and if I got pg then no sex for 1st trimester.  On my second IVF, I told my DH so but he could not wait, we have sex couple days after the beta test and I got MC next day.  I'm so upset....even my RE said it's not my fault.  It must be the abnormal embryo just stop growing......
The following IVFs, I stop all sexual activities....my son is now 9 month old.
Just relax....it's done already.  Stress is not good for you.  Take a lot of sleep and keep you feet warm, wear shocks, drink a lot of water, soup.
Good luck.
