cold sweats and severe cramps

I am doing frozen embryo transfer and twice now I have had cold sweats and severe cramping after the embryo transfer. What might cause this? Is this the reason the embryo would die? My last pregnancy test was negative after this type of episode.

Hi!
You are describing a vaso-vagal episode.  This type of response is fairly common when women have procedures on their "female orgars".  It tends to happen more frequently in person who are young (20-30s) and physically fit.
If it is bothersome to you, your doctor might be able to administer some medications that would reduce or prevent symptoms.
This response is not what is causing your failed cycles.
But DO mention it to your RE!
Good luck!
