Transfer and bed rest day suggestions
I everyone so I am scheduled for a transfer this Thursday the 15th and although I’ve done it before last time we transferred 2 embryos and one stuck but we miscarried
I heard that resuming activities is best. Sitting around when you are a busy person makes your body stressed because it is out of the norm. Try not to stress yourself extra but be yourself and don't over think it. That's what I'm going to do. I will go to work after transfer or laze around as much as I normally eouls in a day off. It will either happen or it won't. Best of luck to you!
Awesome thank you ladies! Well I plan on doing Acupunture tomorrow as my dr suggested but that’s just to help calm my body and help be stress free then, doing my transfer and laying in bed till Saturday Watching movies (which will be hard for me since I’m never still) I will eat some pineapple and avocados since I love them both and I’ll have some warm socks on. I have to agree with expecting greatness I think faith and positivity is what helps the most but i have no problem trying the other stuff as well
Thank you ladies I am very excited for Thursday!
@stacey how coincidental that we have the same name and the same transfer date! That’s amazing hopefully we both get a BFP together too!
I didn't do anything special this time ... my first couple transfers I ate pineapple core drank warm drinks did acupuncture and wore warm socks took off work for three days after And both failed . Last cycle I resumed normal activities went to work the next day and did none of the above and got pregnant . I even had sex on 3 dpt . This time , I resumed Normal activities and went to lunch right after transfer then went home and watched tv . I didn't do anything special . The day after transfer was my anniversary so we had sex (but I didn't orgasm) and I got pregnant . One of The things I realized during this journey is that you cannot do anything perfect . My doctor says that the embryos are tight in uterus and nothing can make them come out. The only restrictions he gives is light activities for first 24 hours from transfer but back to normal after that . He says They will either implant or they won't . After two failed cycles, an ectopic and then a second trimester loss after successful ivf, I have concluded that I am not in control and there is no secret formula to make things work . When you put all that pressure on yourself it gives you something to blame if things don't work out as planned but really it's probably not true . I say speak positive , think positive and enjoy every moment of being PUPO . That is all I did . Here I am 9 weeks tomorrow and didn't do any of the superstitious stuff I did the first two times .... I guess just do whatever makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel like you will have best chance of success . ?I know it will work !
Oh I wish we could have sex before transfer but DH out of town plus my dr doesn’t allow sex after transfer for what seems like forever. But I will definitely try the other suggestions
Thank you !
I have read that you should have sex the night before transfer and day of transfer based on an Australian/Spanish study I read about. But this is controversial since sex is not recommended for IVF patients. But I think sex before transfer you can do!!! Let those spermies help make a more homey environment for your little one!
Also, if you laugh within 15 minutes of transfer, this is good!! Will help with implantation chances based on another study I read. It makes sense to me. Happy means relaxed. And I bet when you laugh you gently contract your uterus so those embies stick! I really think this worked for me. I only had a 6mm lining soooo... try it! Try to just stay positive and happy!
Oh! And when my cramping got crazy, I applied a heat pad with a towel around it to gently warm my belly to calm it down. It helped me a lot.
Good luck!!???
I’m back round 2
We are preparing for round 2 embryo transfer we finally have our date March 15
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Transfer cancelled!
As we were driving to our transfer today, we got the call that we would NOT be doing a transfer today. I was told the embryos had not reached the blastocyst stage and may not ever reach it. They will give it one more day, but didn't sound promising. I'm so distraught and have so many questions. Waiting for my dr to call me later today.?
ladies I do believe we have a fake 😒
We transferred two male embryos and one female, which means we’re either having two boys or one boy and one girl! I can’t wait to find out.
Just relax and be your normal self! I️ did all of those crazy things the first time and it didn't work. I️ even took two weeks off of work to be home and lay around. I️ think your body senses the pressure and stress to make something work. Our second transfer I️ just relaxed and tried to not overthink. I did lay around the day of transfer and the next day but other than that it was business as usual. Both embryos took that time. Good luck!
