Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Since it has been just a week post IVF and embryo transfer, I would consider it very premature to decide the success of the procedure at this time.

If IVF-ET is done in a better facility the chances are high.The usual possibilities range from 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 procedures.There are no 100 % results in this procedure.Sometimes repeated procedures may be needed to gain the success in here.

Leg cramps you have cannot be considered of any importance.You may have to wait for another 15 days for the pregnancy to be identified or confirmed by tests.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the query. One more follow up question is I am taking progesterone injections daily. Slight. Swelling in my left feet. Is that any side effect of injection or any other symptom.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

No, progesterone infections do not cause such swelling in the feet.Do get examined to find out the exact cause for the same.

Wish you good health.
