Orgasm after Embryo Transfer

Hi ladies ….

Slightly odd question here - did you orgasm in your 2WW? Yesterday evening I was snoozing on the sofa before bed and woke up from a very raunchy dream and was having an orgasm - now I know some women who have and are all ok but they were all a week after ET. I only had mine transferred Monday and by Tuesday evening I’m breaking the rules ……

When I say rules I mean the ‘Google rules’ and not my consultants - all she said was avoid lifting and strong chemicals. I have stuck to those ones but my Google consultant says my sleepy orgasm was bad for embryo. What are your thoughts/experiences?

Xx

Your comment abour breaking the rules made me laugh! I actually searched this forum a couple of days ago as did the same - had a cheeky little sex dream mid 2ww.

I've concluded that it would be a very cruel world that meant mens orgasm created babys but womens were a risk to implantation and if we are relax enough and bodies happy to have an orgasm then that cant be a bad thing. Obviously not based on science but to help keep me sane on the 2ww and with no actual evidence I'm sticking to that!

Good luck with your 2ww and hope having an orgasm is a good sign for both of us! 😀

Ooo Purple I like your logic ! I think I may stick with that thought as well. It’s so bloody strange I’ve never even thought about it, it’s only because I was a bit crampy after so I asked Dr. Google.

How far are you on the 2ww? Imagine if this one worked for me (I’m on my third ivf) all because of a little sexy dream 😂. We could be advocates of the orgasm in 2ww committee

[Purple276 in reply to Hidden]

Lol definitely! This is transfer no.6 for me and no implantation on any of the others. I'm 9dp5dt today so if this does work will be totally encouraging 2ww orgasms!

Don't panic! I had this as well and like Purple and you spent a lot of time searching this forum and googling! As far as I can tell it won't make any negative difference and if anything is quite a good thing to get blood flowing to the uterus. I think its to do with the high progesterone levels as it never happens any other time except when I am pregnant or on IVF drugs (disappointingly!! haha!)

It was often a good sign for me, so hope it is for you too! Good luck! xx

It’s so strange isn’t it, I don’t think it’s ever happened to me before but I’m on a higher dose of progesterone this round so maybe it’s that? It’s definitely made me more ‘in the mood’ to my own dismay as I’m definitely avoiding any action in the 2ww….. except solo action clearly. I hope it doesn’t happen again though there’s enough to stress me out in the wait.

If it’s a good sign for you I’ll take it as one for me too

I had sex the day of my transfer with my son and orgasmed and all was well! My clinic says there is no good evidence to suggest you shouldn’t have sex in the 2ww so I’m sure the same applies to sex dreams 😉 (In fact there are some studies that show that the presence of semen helps things along!)

[Hidden in reply to Missl73]

Oh really ?! Well don’t I feel better now. Ahh I’m excited it might work again now, I make light but these things really stress me out. I did wonder if it’s the bodies own way of supplying extra blood to that area but I can’t back that theory up as it’s just mine

I get it honestly, I’ve had 6 transfers (3 pregnancies with 1 that ended up with a MC due to a Trisomy so unavoidable just the embryo). My first transfer I tried to do everything right, followed all the old wives tales. Transfers 2-6 I just got on with life, kept going to the gym, having sex, enjoying myself and trusted that the single most important factor was the genetics of the embryo. Some worked, some didn’t - that’s just how it goes I didn’t change anything. This pregnancy (I’m 30 weeks) I was running around like a mad thing after my 2 year old, constantly bending down and picking him up and it didn’t harm anything. Honestly, there is very little you can do to influence the outcome so try not to drive yourself too crazy xx

Totally normal

[Cotswoldmum]

well when conceiving naturally the advice is to have orgasms as there’s evidence they can help with implantation so…

[Hidden in reply to Cotswoldmum]

Good job because it’s happened again!! I’ve decided my body is just doing what it feels it needs to.

Just to stopped by to say I dont know what you ladies are eating before you go to bed but, to paraphrase a well known film, I want what you're having

[Hidden in reply to Koala365]

You’d think I was eating oysters slugging red wine but it looks like porridge oats and blueberries are my aphrodisiac 🤭
