Sex shortly after progesterone pessary

Answered on 26th January 2015 in Getting Pregnant

We got positive HPT yesterday, 2 weeks after embryo/blastocyst transfer.. Couldn't be more excited!! We had sex last night and I had completely forgotten I had only 20 mins earlier inserted progesterone pessary.. I'm really worried that this has damaged the embryo.. Am I overreacting??

Please don’t worry. A positive pregnancy test suggests implanted embryo. Just carry on the pessaries as advised.
