IVF - FET, Embryo Stuck in Catheter

[Ttc0919]

Hi, has this happened to anyone else? I had my 2nd FET yesterday of a 5 day blastocyst (1st one CP) and after the doctor put in the catheter they took it out to find that the embryo was still in the catheter and did not launch. They had to then take the embryo and catheter and reset it. Has this happened to anyone? I am worried this could have impacted my embryo. The nugget is in the right spot now but can't stop to just worry if there was an impact.

Hi Ttc919. Oh dear! Your little embryo must have started to divide again and got stuck! It doesn't happen often, but can be a good sign that it's raring to go! No harm will have happened. Good luck! Diane
