I had a blastocyst transfer done yesterday, not even 24 hours had passed. (A 4BB frozen embryo that already was hatching and the doctor said that it was very healthy) and I feel bloated and with a little cramping and lower back pain. Is this normal? I am not sure if the bloating is from what I ate last night, pretty spicy : )

The thing that worries me is that the papers that the doctor gave me after the transfer say that involuntary contractions of the uterus may move the embryo to the lower part of the uterus where implantation would be less likely. So I am worried that this cramping might be movement of the uterus. Is there anything I can do to make my uterus more "relaxed" : ) or this feeling it's normal?

Thanks so much in advance for your time!

All the best,

Sandra

I had mild cramping and bloating with all 3 of my transfers. Since your embie was already hatching, it can implant the following day which could be the cramping you're experiencing. Or it could just be regular cramping. Either way, it's normal and you shouldn't worry. A lot of the meds you're on are probably causing both. Good luck!

Thanks! I am in a natural FET cycle so I am not taking any meds but I want to believe what you are saying, that cramping is normal : ) Thanks for your message I appreciate it.
