Ugh. I am not looking forward to that. I was okay during the transfer but I hurt so bad after when I had to lay with my butt in the air for an hour holding my pee in.
On that note-- I'm flying out tomorrow morning for transfer (on Friday)!
Hi ladies, I would like to join this thread as we start our 2nd cycle. Praying that this cycle will be more successful.
Our details are as follows:
Me 37, OH 46
No previous pregnancies.
TTC for 2 yrs.
Unexplained infertility although sperm binding noted to be low at first cycle and fertilisation rate only 50%
AMH 44
6 eggs at retrieval, only 4 mature and 2 fertilised. 2 day transfer BFN
We are now starting an ICSI cycle. I should start injecting in about 12 days.
Good luck to everyone xx

Why did you have to lay with your butt in the air having to pee? Did someone forget to tell me how the transfer works? LOL
I know I have to urinate 4 hrs before procedure, but no one explained the rest!

They have me arrive with a full bladder because it's easier to see the Uterus when they're transferring the embryos. Then they want them to "settle in" So they have us lay down on an elevated table for an hour (by this point you have to pee REALLY bad) Then, abuot 50 minutes in they let you pee, and then you go back and lay down for another ten.
Bed rest for most of the day and you are supposed to keep elevated then as well.
That's what my FS does, yours may be totally different. It does seem pretty common they want a full bladder though.
Another surro was holding it so long she got a BAD UTI, ended up in the ER that night peeing blood >.<
Hi Ladies, I'm joining you since I found out yesterday that my pregnancy will not continue.I'm trying to prepare for another cycle ASAP. Dr says we can do a FET as early as Feb., which is really our last chance until this summer. I was supposed to stay under the treatment of my FS until 12 weeks, but he is allowing us to do the FET and leave sooner since our situation (DH is military) doesn't allow me to stay on the island until 12 weeks. I have to move to the mainland in March, so this is vital to our plan.
Hopefully my body cooperates with our plan. I'm going for several tests next week and to make sure the HCG is leaving my system.
Thinking about you, Em! I hope everything goes well with your surgery today.![]()
