The period after the procedure of artificial insemination is very exciting, because no one can give a 100% guarantee that the embryo will attach to the wall of the uterus and pregnancy will come. During this period, a woman listens carefully to her body, trying to see any signs of successful pregnancy. We will try to characterize the signs of embryo implantation after IVF.
Features of embryo implantation in IVF
The transfer of embryos during the procedure of in vitro fertilization is performed on the 3rd - 4th day. It is in this period, with normal fertilization, that the embryo is attached (implanted) to the uterine wall. Minor spotting (spotting) and pulling pains in the lower abdomen sometimes occur during embryo implantation. But more vividly described these clinical symptoms may indicate an insufficient hormonal background of the body, which can cause a miscarriage at an early age . In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor so that he understands the true causes of these symptoms.
What does late embryo implantation mean after IVF?
After in vitro fertilization, implantation of the embryo can be significantly delayed, since the embryo-embedded embryos wander through the uterine cavity in search of a suitable attachment site. So, early implantation is considered the embryo introduction into the uterine wall up to 5 days after the IVF procedure. Later embryo implantation with IVF is considered to be the attachment of the blastocyst after 10 days after the procedure of replanting.
So, after considering the features of embryo implantation after IVF, we were convinced that it does not have any characteristic clinical symptoms. However, it is very important to note that a woman after IVF procedure must follow certain recommendations that will increase the likelihood of implantation.
