Constipation before embryo transfer

[Lorry1984]

Hi,

I've been constipated since egg retrieval and with our embryo transfer tomorrow Im wondering if I should take a laxative tonight. I have some dulcolax but not sure if its a good or bad idea. Any advice? Thank you xx

Not fun! I'd probably take one if you've used then before and had no issues. Better to clear things up now rather than after. Good luck with the transfer tomorrow! Mine's Tuesday! 🍀

How was the transfer today?

It was fine. We had a 5AAA transferred and the other 7 are being looked at again tomorrow to see if they make it to freezing. Sounds unlikely though xx

Ahh the delightful side effect of progesterone..! Try to make sure to gets tons of fibre in your diet and drink loads of water so you're more comfortable. I found eating high fibre cereal, plums, pears and prunes to be helpful x
