If you had ivf procedure (embryo transfer) yesterday and
You were on bed rest for a couple days, during that time you had to strain to have a bowel movement would that cause you to loose the embyros?

Hi Marlene,
It all depends on what your hcg was 2 days ago or if this is your first hcg and if so, what cd were you when this was taken. From the sound of what you're saying however, it seems that it was higher before and now it's down to 26 (since you say it has to go down to 5), which would unfortunately then mean it's a chemical pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage. If you, there should be no need to continue the meds and would consult your RE again.
