Hello doctor,

I had my embryo transfer a few days ago, and now I have started having back pain which feels like period pain. Is this a good sign or bad sign?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

It could be due to hormonal changes. So, I suggest you the instructions mentioned below.

1. Have a strict check on your symptoms like severe pain, bleeding, etc.

2. Continue taking a tablet of Folic acid daily.

3. Take progesterone for support till the mid-second trimester.

4. Have restricted movements and eat a healthy diet.

5. Report to the tertiary care center in case of any emergency.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
