What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen After Frozen Embryo Transfer?

Hi, I've been having twinges of pain on my lower left side off and on, 5 days after my frozen embryo transfer. Is it too soon for ectopic pregnancy symptoms? (I've had 3 ectopic pregnancies in the past 3 yrs). What could be some of the causes for this? And could one of the reasons be that I've become more active since I returned back to work?(fast paced and busy dental office, 90+ patients a day)

Hi, I think it is too early to say anything about ectopic pregnancy. Wait for 2 weeks after transfer and get a serum bhcg level done. It will tell you if you have conceived or not. You can get an early scan done to exclude ectopic pregnancy. Hope it helps.
