I am scheduled for my transfer tomorrow, this is my third IVF cycle but 1st transfer. Do you have any tips or just general feedback on what to expect?
To be honest, I'm more nervous about having a full bladder while all of this is going on. I'm so nervous I'm going to pee on the doctor... eek

You are are going to do great! My biggest recommendation is to do a crockpot dinner or have someone prepare it for you. It was so nice to come home and have a hot homemade meal with no effort after transfer
we got home from breakfast after! I also took a Valium an hour before, glad I did just to help ease the nerves. It was quick, a little more uncomfortable than a pap because she has a little trouble with my cervix not wanting to open. Dh go to go on with me. I relaxed on the couch the rest of the day. Dh got us dinner and got me drinks the rest of the day. Easy peasey! Good luck tomorrow!

I am not that close to my ET yet but I am already nervous in before haha
Hope everything went fine? How are you doing?

@brela11 but is it ok to take Valium? Is that safe?
late, but once I was in and feet up in the stirrups it kind of took the weight of my bladder a bit.
My doc and nurse were so sweet and kept me entertained and distracted through the process. During my transfer the embryos didn't shoot out the first time, so they had to clean them back in the lab and do a reinsert. Even with that I didn't race off to pee afterwards, yes I was nervous I might pee them out, despite my doctor and nurse giggles
