Can embryos fall out after FET?

Embryo transfer is a crucial step in the journey towards parenthood for many individuals undergoing fertility treatment. However, it can also be a stressful and anxiety-inducing experience.

One of the most common concerns among patients undergoing embryo transfer is what activities they can and cannot participate in post-procedure. Many fear that engaging in certain activities may jeopardize the success of the transfer.

The belief that doing something wrong can cause the embryo to detach or fall out is a common misconception. In reality, the embryo is securely placed within the uterus during the transfer procedure, and it is unlikely that any normal daily activities would affect its attachment.

It is important for patients to remember that their bodies are designed to support pregnancy and that the embryo is naturally drawn to the uterine lining. Therefore, it is unlikely that any minor movements or activities would disrupt the implantation process.

However, it is still advisable for patients to avoid strenuous physical activity, such as heavy lifting or intense exercise, for a few days after the transfer. This is to ensure that the embryo has time to settle and attach to the uterine lining.
