Hi all you warriors,I had frozen embryo transfer yesterday (8 cell grade 1, day 3 embryo). It was my first transfer as other cycles didn't create embryos, and is my last shot at biological motherhood.
What I always heard is a straight forward procedure was not smooth and straight forward and even felt a bit traumatic. They had said 'half full bladder ' but I needed to get really full to bursting because the doctor couldn't get the catheta into my womb, it was tilted and the cervix was really tight. After about ten min of trying he sent me away to drink more water and wait half an hour. Second go, it worked, but required a lot of tugging and persuading. The medics said it wasn't an easy one, it was really difficult, and they had me lie still for 30mins because there would be womb contractions.
I did go for a session of acupuncture after. And then, collecting medications they had written the wrong date on the prescription so I had to do more walking to get another one. I felt sore and had light cramps, I just wanted to get to bed!
I got home exhausted and upset, with minor soreness all around my abdomen. I'm now doing bedpost for a couple of days, being very gentle and trying to settle in. I can't help feel worried that that less than perfect experience could have mucked up the chance of my one embryo. I know we all torture ourselves over things like this....I'm going to do my best to let it go, open up to luck and chance, and accept we can'tcontrol everything. If there's anything this process tells us, it's that. Maybe my embryo is a total fighter 🥰 🙏🌪️🌈💚🍀
Any words of encouragement or similar stories with success??
Love to you all
