Did your doctors request a full bladder for embryo transfer?  I have a super overactive bladder and was just told they normally need a full bladder.  Thoughts????

    Yup, full bladder. It sucked, but was worth it!

    Yup.  But they were running late so I overdrank the water and thought I was going to explode.  I think they ask that so that the bladder pushes down on the uterus and makes the area smaller so they can get a better shot.

    I haven't done it yet, but my RE said that a full bladder is a must.

    Yes I had to have a full bladder.  This allows them to get a better view when doing the transfer.

    Ditto PP's.  Full bladder is best for an ET.

    My paperwork says full bladder.  It pains me to think about it!
