orgasm after transfer
Can I damage the embryo? My clinic advised no intercourse, and now I'm reading on this website no orgasm!! I'm terrified I f'd up something because I noticed some brown spotting today. I'm so upset today:(((
I didn't realize I wasn't support to have an orgasm (just no intercourse), and I had one the same day as the embryo transfer. Is there anything I can do to determine if the eggs got expelled or is it just a wait and see at this point for the next 2 weeks?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
No, you cannot damage your embryo by intercourse or orgasm. However, if you just had an embryo transfer then had intercourse with orgasim immediately after, this causes uterine contractions which potentially could expel a recently transferred embryo. If you have brown spotting, I suggest contact your doctor about this as soon as possible.
