No Symptoms After Embryo Transfer - Is It A Matter Of Concern?

Get the embryo transfer done but no any signs and symptoms have been noticed yet in your body. No indication of sensation, from breast tenderness to bloating. But what happens when there are no symptoms after embryo transfer? Does it mean the procedure wasn’t successful? Not necessarily! Here’s what you need to know.

Understanding No Symptoms After Embryo Transfer

“In general, there are no specific signs that an embryo transfer has been successful until the pregnancy test itself." According to Dr. Rashmi Shrish. This is so because the oestrogen and progesterone that are frequently taken prior to the embryo transfer and the progesterone that is typically taken following the transfer mimic the bloating, sore breasts, and discharge of pregnancy.

However, a lot of people continue to closely monitor any indication of success during an embryo transfer. It's important to comprehend the roles that these symptoms play in the process, even though you might only experience a few or none at all. 

First, let’s know about the actual symptoms, which can be indicators of a successful transfer.

Symptoms of A Successful Embryo Transfer

• Spots of blood or bleeding
• Cramping
• Aching breasts
• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Nausea
• Bloating
• Alterations in discharge
• Increased need to urinate
• Missed period

What If There Are No Symptoms After Embryo Transfer

Don't worry if, after reading this list, you realise that none of these situations apply. It doesn't necessarily mean that the embryo transfer wasn't successful if you're not displaying any particular symptoms.

“These symptoms are nonspecific and do not predict pregnancy outcomes”, according to Dr. Mira Thapa. She claims that the administration of oestrogen and progesterone is most frequently the cause of the listed symptoms.

In fact, 10 to 15 percent of patients report no symptoms at all but, thankfully, still have a positive pregnancy test, the doctor continues. An unambiguous pregnancy test result is the only way to determine whether your embryo transfer was successful.
 

When To Take A Pregnancy Test

We can sense your excitement as you wait to see those two lines or a plus sign. But test too soon after an embryo transfer, and you risk being disappointed. The ideal time to wait is when your period has already been missed. You will get the most accurate results by doing this. It's difficult to be patient, let's face it. So if you're eager to test, hold off at least 10 days after the transfer.

More specifically, reproductive experts at Angel Fertility Treatment say, the embryo will attach within 48 to 72 hours after the transfer. Following this, the developing embryo will grow bigger and become more metabolically active, producing more hCG up until 9 to 10 days after embryo transfer, when it can be reliably detected. This is the reason your clinic will probably plan an hCG blood test for this period.

Conclusion

There is no need to worry if you have not seen any symptoms of it. However, we understand no symptoms after embryo transfer can be stressful. If you are still in the same situation, consulting with your doctor is recommended.
