We are starting our ivf cycle next month and im reading about all the risks. Got a bit worried after seeing ectopic mentioned, thought ivf places the embryo directly so how does this still happen? Just trying to understand before we begin.
Actually, uterine contractions can sometimes push the embryo into the tube during transfer. If you have any cramping or spotting, please consult your doctor immediately.
I know how stressful the IVF journey is. It happens because the fluid or movement can sometimes slide the embryo into the fallopian tube. Stay close to your fertility specialist for your scans.
Even with IVF, the embryo can sometimes travel or drift into the tube before implanting. Please be very careful and call your doctor if you feel any sharp pain.
According to my trackers, the embryo isn't fixed immediately after transfer, it can float around and sometimes enter the tube. It's rare, but your doctor will check this on your first scan.
