I have recently done IVF, I had my embryo transfer today (two day 5 blasts). I have been feeling very constipated. I tried magnesium and drinking lots of water, also eating fruits. Nothing has worked. Today I decided to do an over the counter enema, this finally worked. Do you think this will affect implantation? Is there a chance it could have expelled the embryos?
Constipation could be due to the procedure itself, there is nothing to worry about. On the counter enema is ok but try natural foods like oats, Alta and fruits and other fiber vegetables at least 3-4 times a day. Straining while defecating, coughing can cause problems in implantation. So avoid straining.
