Does abdominal distension after embryo transplant mean conception failure?

Embryo transplantation is currently the fastest way to treat infertility. Most women will not have any obvious reaction after embryo transplantation, but a very small number of women will feel some discomfort in the body, such as bloating, back pain, etc. The reasons for these conditions are generally very complicated. The following editor will introduce some common symptoms after embryo transplantation.

Most people do not feel anything when the embryo implants, but many people will experience a small amount of bleeding (called implantation bleeding due to changes in hormone levels), and some people will experience mild abdominal pain or back pain. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the success or failure of implantation or pregnancy based on abdominal pain.

The feeling after IVF transplantation varies from person to person. Physiological phenomena are very complex. Although there are some common rules, individual differences are very large. The changes you can feel may not be felt at all in other people. The feeling after IVF transplantation cannot be regarded as a success or failure. It is recommended that the operator have a blood test 14 days after the transplantation.

Symptoms after IVF transplantation

1. Abdominal pain after transplantation

Mild abdominal pain, sometimes like a pins and needles, in any location and at any time - this condition is usually not serious. Infertile patients tend to pay too much attention to their abdomen, which is mostly related to mental stress. However, if the symptoms of discomfort gradually worsen, you should go to the hospital for treatment. If you have sudden severe abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital immediately. If you experience abdominal pain after egg retrieval, you should be alert to internal bleeding. Sudden abdominal pain after egg retrieval and transplantation is often related to ovarian incarceration or torsion. It is common in patients who have more egg retrieval and ascites.

2. Bleeding after transplantation

The site of bleeding should be noted. Common conditions include: cervical and vaginal inflammation, and bleeding from the needle hole during egg retrieval. Generally, the bleeding will not be too much, but there may be a small amount of bloody secretions. If the bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, you should go to the hospital to find out the location of the bleeding and, if necessary, undergo an ultrasound examination to see if there is intrauterine bleeding. If it is intrauterine bleeding, don't be nervous. Generally, the doctor will suggest that you observe for a while, take rest, increase the dosage of "preserving pregnancy" drugs or come to the doctor, and be hospitalized for observation if necessary. If the bleeding is heavy, such as menstrual flow, or exceeds the menstrual flow, you should see a doctor nearby immediately.

3. Abdominal distension and chest tightness after transplantation

Symptoms of abdominal distension and chest tightness may also occur after test tube transplantation, which is mostly related to progesterone injection, reduced intestinal motility, and excessive rest. After the transplant, you should rest for 2-3 days and then go back to work, as long as you don't do heavy physical labor and avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure. However, if the patient's estrogen level is too high on the day of HCG injection or too many eggs are retrieved, more attention should be paid. Be alert for the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). If the symptoms gradually worsen, you should go to the hospital immediately.

4. Constipation after transplantation

If you find symptoms of constipation after IVF transplantation, you should pay more attention. Because progesterone drugs are needed to preserve the fetus after IVF transplantation, and patients tend to be more sedentary than active, have a more meticulous diet, and have reduced intestinal motility, which can sometimes lead to constipation. When the condition is mild, it can be corrected by adjusting the diet structure, such as eating more vegetables and fruits, a high-fiber diet, exercising moderately, and avoiding excessive bed rest. If constipation lasts for a long time and the above methods cannot relieve the symptoms, you can take laxatives appropriately. Please read the instructions carefully before taking them to see if they are contraindicated for pregnant women.

For infertile women, conception is a very happy thing, but you also need to be careful after embryo transplantation. Try not to do strenuous exercise or lift heavy objects. You should pay attention to your diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in season, maintain a good mood, and try not to let your emotions fluctuate too much.
