Will A Small Accident After IVF Procedure Cause Fetal Harm?
I went through the IVF frozen embryo transfer on 2/6/11. I took it easy and resumed normal activity as instructed. On 2/8/11 a truck ran into the driver side of the van I was a passenger in. I was pretty shook up and banged up on right side. Will this affect the embryo?

hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Any prenancy is liable for abortion after severe accident in first three months.. & more so in IVF.. (which is an assisted conception,fertilised ovum is transffered in uterus with artificial hormonal support.)
Only few pregnancies are savebd after such mishap.
I would advise gor urgrnt consultation of treating gynecologist&usgto exclude or find any harm done followed by bed reast &advused medication &care.
Thanks.
