I don’t think you can overheat in the shower especially if it is not super long. Try to relax. I’ve been there and been anxious too.
Good luck!

Totally fine, OP, and don't stress about being "overanxious" either. It's perfectly normal to feel a little freaked out by anything and everything at this point in the process, you're not a basket case, promise. The hot shower won't hurt anything. I continued to take my usual hot baths nightly after my successful transfer and it didn't make any difference at all! Good luck - I hope you have a sticky embryo!

You likely did more damage to your skin than the embryo. Your body is made to protect the embryo and it should be fine. Good luck!

Don't you think they would have warned you if a normal shower would jeopardize your transfer?

OP - do you take medication for your anxiety?

It’s fine. If embryos were that fragile, no one would be able to reproduce.

It's fine. But please seek help for your anxiety.

I've been through IVF and know how much of a mindf*ck it is.

Good luck!

You're fine OP. If you're going to get anxious about it take lukewarm showers for the next two weeks. Good luck!

Call your doctor.

I’m pretty positive the day after we conceived our third kid I sat in the hot tub of a Chicago hotel for about four hours. It’ll happen if it happens. All you can do is hope and pray.

OP here, please don't give me sarcastic answers. I just need to know if other people have showered after.

Sorry but is it okay?

You already took the shower. Why ask now?

I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just took a short quick hot shower after my transfer. Is it safe to take a hot shower after embryo transfer? I don't think I am overheating the embryo because showers cannot overheat you and I am not in a sauna. I just needed to take a shower after being in the procedure room and office.

Sorry for the anxious question but the 2 week wait is hard.
