mock transfer- hello pain!

Wowza- I did my mock transfer this morning and WOAH, it was painful.  What was supposed to be just a few minutes turned in 15+ minutes of the dr trying to figure out my cervix with multiple catheter sizes, she finally got it.  Supposedly I have a small tilt at the top of my uterus.  Needless to say, hope that next time we do this with embryos it isn't so bad!!!

Bad day:  Also had MRI to check for pituitary issues (from fluke high prolactin levels) and had to spend hours on the phone with Walgreens specialty pharmacy to finally figure out my nurse sent me the wrong protocol and the pharmacy mistakenly sent me the trigger too early.  UGH. 

IVF #1 Oct 2013- cancelled 
IVF #2 Mar 2014- success.... baby girl born 11/28/14
FET #1 Mar 2016- baby boy due 12/16/16

  • Mine also had to try several caths before finding the right one.  I was like "You're making notes on this for the IVF transfer right??!" and he assured me that's half the point of the saline sono is so that come transfer day they have the perfect cath for each individual.

  • Sorry to hear you had a painful mock transfer. The whole reason they do the mock transfer is to make sure that it does go smoothly for your ET. Also for my ET they prescribed me Valium which I thought would just make me more relaxed, but the Valium actually made it so it was much less painful than the mock transfer, so my ET went better than my mock transfer.

    Hope the results from your MRI come back good!

  • Woah. I thought I would be put under for all of these events - retrieval, transfer, the whole 9. I almost screamed during my HSG! I had LEEP procedure and have a small cervical opening as a result.
