Does severe abdominal cramping affect the survival of embryos?
Patient: I mistakenly ate celery (i am allergice to celery) the same day of my embryo transfer.  During the night, i had severe cramps which was followed by diarhea.....do you think that my embryos could have died because of it?  does that affect anti-bodies? does severe cramping affect survival of embryos cause my doctor said the embryos would implant within 24hrs? Doctor: Hi,   Thanks for the query.     I understand your concern.      Embryos are transferred in uterine cavity. If the endometrium is well prepared... of hormonal suppliments are sufficient.. &there is no uterine contraction,...abdominal cramps with a single  loose motion without signs of gross dehydration &electrolite imbalance  would not cause any embryo loss.    The antibodies formed here are for the allergen( celery) & would not have any effect on embryo.      You should  take rest ,drink lot of water & ort powder to maintain hydration & also continue with the medicines advised.   Thanks
