Transcript:Callie Megel, Intake Coordinator at Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, here for today's question. And today's question is:  How do you feel after the embryo transfer?

And I can only talk off of my experiences. I've had three embryo transfers and everybody's body is different. Everybody's going to react differently. It's going to feel different for everybody. But for me, the embryo transfers was, I would say, the easiest part of the whole process. You feel a little bit crampy, but other than that, it shouldn't be too much painful, just a little bit of cramps. But again, everybody's different. Every clinic is different. If you have any more questions, let me know.
