Can I eat eggs after embryo transfer?

Yes, as long as they are in good condition, I can’t see why you can’t eat eggs after the embryo transfer. In some cases, patients ask us if they can eat sushi, raw meat, ham. Probably, the most effective thing that you can do in terms of what you can eat or how do you must eat is to really wash the vegetables, fruits very well, even those that you get from the back because that’s the easiest way of getting something like toxoplasmosis, for example.

Anything else as long as you go to any good place, and you eat food in good condition, there is no extra risk in the fact that you may eat sushi, raw meat or even if you eat very poorly cooked eggs, or even if you mix them with a let’s say steak tartare, and you eat it.  The main problem is the infections you may get, but if the products are handled in good condition, there are no real side effects or anything you should be worried about.

Well, actually – yes. Of course, you can eat eggs after embryo transfers. There is not a contraindication in that particular type of food.

Regarding this question, I have to be honest with you: I’ve searched it myself. I haven’t come across this question from patients before. So in the view of a scientific answer, I had done my researches. Most sites are recommending the following: if you eat eggs, it’s only to take advantage of essential fatty acids that exist in it – as if in a healthy sort of way. The one thing that I would not recommend you is to have it in mind like a magic formula that might increase your success of implanting the embryo. There is no food or whatsoever to be recommended to make any difference regarding the success of the implantation. So that one thing I would like you to be sure of. If someone tells you: you have to eat this in order for your embryo transfer to be successful, this is not right – as well as to avoid some things in order to improve the things. Unfortunately, I have no scientific backup to support this. So: can you eat eggs? Of course, you can. Do I have to avoid eggs? Unfortunately, I cannot say this because I have no evidence to tell you that if you avoid eggs, things will improve.

No, it actually does not have anything to do with implantation. Eggs on its own, it’s a very good food to have. If you’re pregnant avoid taking raw eggs and if you’re in a country where they put salmonella stumps, choose always those with the lion stamps but in terms of egg playing a role in ovulation there’s nothing as such documented and it wouldn’t really affect the ovulation or implantation. As a matter of fact, it would probably just be a great source of protein for you and a great source of vitamins and minerals.

Eggs are not harmful to the embryo. Only raw eggs can contain microbes like salmonellas. So it’s not good if you acquire salmonella or listeriosis after your embryo transfer. So you can eat eggs if they are well cooked.
