Re: Amber: UU embryo transfer today

[Guest guest]

Hi Amber,

Congratulations!!! NO GO LIE DOWN AND DO

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! It would be great if you could

just sleep on and off for the next few days (And keep

the hot laptop computer off your belly, if you use

one!)

There isnt much difference between grade 1 and 2.

Was it an emotional experience for you? I was very

teary through the whole thing. And did they give you

a picture of your embryo!???

Have your husband go out and buy you a boat-load of

pineapple. 1 a day- you can do it! I recommend

really keep VERY quiet over the next few weeks. Do as

little as possible -- have your husband do all the

chores.

Im saying many prayers for implantation!!!!! Go

embryo!!!

Heidi

Yes, it was emotional when i saw the little embie on

the video screen but i blocked out the emotion because

i get so embarassed crying in front of my doctors and

didn't want to break down (particularly with my legs

wide open and my doctor and a scientist standing in

between my legs and peering inside me). i woke up from

the EPU crying and was very emotional after that. i am

trying to stay in control cause i've got heaps on at

work right now and just can't afford to lose it.

i have observed that many US IVF patients are

prescribed bed rest after ET. In Australia, we are

told that the embryo is like a seed in a jam sandwich

and it just won't fall out and that we can resume

normal activitites sraight away (but we're told to be

mindful of the tender ovaries and encouraged to " take

it easy " for that reason).

what is the actual position in the US?

i started on the pineapple the other week and have had

three halves. i've never heard of the pineapple thing

- is it a widely accepted practice amongst IVF'ers in

the US?

thanks for your email and well wishes.

Dear Amber,

It is such an emotional experience. I do want you to

take it easy if you can and dont run around like a

mad-woman trying to get your work done (how important

can your work really be, by comparison, for these next

few weeks?). Can you work from home? My docs said do

nothing for 3-4 days if possible- which I did

(actually i did nothing for the enire first trimester

except sit, no lifting no nothing), however, they

stated while there was no clear scientific evidence it

would make a difference, it couldnt hurt (and at the

cost, you want to do everything you can). I would

also not excercise for the next few weeks until your

blood test. I think the jam sandwich idea is a bit

optimistic- implantation rates arent THAT high- you

are still fighting the fact that implantation is a

somewhat random process. If it were being done on

women who didnt have challenges- maybe it would

indeeed be a seed in a jam sandwich. But thats not

the plight of the MA person. The pineapple thing-

pineapple contains bromelain which is an enzyme that

could possibly aid in implantation process- i think it

is a little bit of thing among IVFers in US - i can

tell you i know 4 people who ate a pineapple a day

during the 2 week wait who got pregnant on the first

IVF try...

Many prayers to you, go embie!
