Brief Answer:
Can dislodge the embryo

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Going to the toilet immediately after embryo transfer can lead to dislodgement of the embryo and failure of implantation.
However, this is not absolute.
You have to confirm the pregnancy 14 days after the embryo transfer.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
