Excessive bowel movements after ET

Has anyone experienced this?? Since my ET yesterday I've been a lot more than usual and im worried it's my body trying to flush out the embryo..even though I know bowel movements aren't connected.

I'm drinking plenty of water so as not to get dehydrated, it's just that everything I read seems to be about constipation not the other way..

I don't think it cam happen anyway as they like you to get back to normal walking round ect keep positive xx

Hello there.. I had this, very very loose bowels and I was worried about the same issues as you - but I got a positive result and am 19 weeks pregnant.

I have had loose bowels throughout, no constipation at all. In fact I was going 5 times a day for a good month or so and i was exhausted.

It won't flush out the embryo at all.

All the best to you for a positive result. xx

Thanks. I forgot to mention that my bowels were loose before the 2ww, during the ENTIRE 2WW and after it too.

So seriously try not to worry, but I was utterly paranoid about it - so understand your concern.

Its so stressful isn't it! Thanks of the good wishes, same to you xx

It is! Just got over the joy of having a blastocyst implanted and then there's all these other worries!

Will do xx
