Thanks Briggsy's Girl. Congratulations for pushing yourself through each cycle and getting your bundle of joy.
Well, Transfer went well this morning. FS had a little trouble at first, but got the catheter in pretty quickly.
Thanks to all your advice, I did a few things differently too. Firstly, I made sure (TMI- hehe) my bladder and bowels were empty. I didn't have anything to eat or drink prior to the procedure. Also, I used my hands to support my lower back during the procedure. This may of added extra tilt as well.
Anyway, I came out feeling a lot better too. No pain or cramping like last time. FX when I have the real transfer next cycle, things will go just as smoothly.
Glad you had your last TF smoothly Starbright...sorry this is a bit late but just wondering if you have a retroverted uterus because that could make transfer a bit harder.
I have a retroverted U and the 1st time FS has to change to a different gear (I just dare not to look what it is but it seems quite long ) to get in...but after that it seems he got a hange of it and we didn't have any problem...When I changed to another FS, he uses u/s guided transfer and interestingly he asked me to have full bladder and the 3 transfer I had with him was all pain free and really quick. Rumour has it the easier the transfer, the better chance of conceiving, but I don't know how much truth to it though.
Cuddlepie, thanks for sharing. I do have a retroverted U. I mentioned this to FS and he quickly said he knew. I guess he wouldn't admit if he failed to check on that info.
After today going smoothly, I wish it had of been a ET. Hopefully he has the knack now and they continue to go smoothly. Even better, if the next one was the last .
That is interesting about the water, I was under the impression a full bladder wasn't good for a RVU. I wonder about that theory?? It would be interesting to do a poll about BFP's and easy transfers?
