  • @mcgeeva happy transfer day!  Hope your pup is doing better and let’s you get your rest after transfer.

    @dragonette505 thanks for the calculator.  It actually put my mind at ease.  It said implantation would most likely take place over the weekend so I couldn’t possibly be feeling anything yet.  Made me feel a little better.
  • @mcgeeva. Happy transfer day!
    @mama2b1974. This is totally me right now. I have spent all day googling how to aid implantation. I am obsessed. I told myself this time I would be relaxed but I don’t think that’s possible. 

    Anybody hear about sex before it helping?

    shae44  I just read this morning that their was an Australian study saying sex on transfer day raised the viability, but most clinics advise against it... I would consider trying before hand though.

  • @shae44 I was JUST coming here to ask the same question! We must be telepathic. I read a study where women who had sex before FET had a higher pregnancy rate than those who abstained (or used condoms....can't remember the exact deets). They theorized that it was something about sperm in the reproductive tract that signaled the body to not attack foreign bodies (like the incoming transferred embryo). My plan is to try it this cycle but I'm kind of feeling uncomfortable with the whole semen/leakage in the vag thing right before I'm going to have my legs in stirrups...ewww  :s

  • tosh24  I just posted a screengrab about this above...
  • Wait, it might have been fresh transfer rather than FET. I think I remember thinking to myself "who the f*ck has sex between ER and fresh transfer?!?" lol. Let me see if I can find the study....I read it a long time ago.

    tosh24 I imagine it would be the same (except that like you said it would probably be hella uncomfortable during a fresh transfer).
    I definitely had sex around my last transfer since I had that semi natural cycle and I figured, hey maybe I can catch that egg too (although I hear the trigger can make that one egg over mature). My last doc used an antibacterial wash on day of transfer, but with my using this stupid antibiotic gel, I would probably kill off all the goodness from my hubs. I will probably still try it, but wait a couple hours before using the gel to let the swimmers get into my inner lady areas! lol
  • Good luck @mcgeeva!

    So DH and I had that conversation last night. He refuses to have sex after my transfer. He says we are paying a lot and he doesn’t want to “knock it loose.” Haha. So tonight’s the last night for awhile. Hey maybe it will help!  I can’t imagine doing it RIGHT before though especially with the vaginal progesterone I have to use in the morning ew. I’m on antibiotics so not worry about an infection. 
  • @mama2b1974 I just used my last $ store hpt this morning (yes, I’m still POAS - but now I’ll just do every other day to get thru the few wondfos I have).  I fully walked in to the dollar store last Thursday intending to buy 10.  But then I found a few other things I wanted to buy (including the candles and gift bag for DH’s birthday yesterday) and reduced the number of tests partly because I couldn’t carry it all (could have just thrown it all in the gift bag, I guess), and I had in my head for some reason I was only going to spend $10, so I only ended up with 6.  But 10 was the intent ;)

    @shae44 @tosh24 @dragonette505 I’ve read the same thing and thought about it just ‘cause my clinic advises no intercourse/orgasm until you hear the heartbeat or negative pregnancy test (and my acu says 12 weeks!), so kind of last opportunity.  So I’d get that BD in at least for fun!  Alas, we didn’t make it happen right before.  And we actually used condoms around ovulation because we didn’t want to risk an abnormal one taking/messing with the transferred one when we still have “normal” ones available.  So counterintuitive.

  • @artemis618 I pre ordered a ton (but I usually end up buying more too!) lol
  • @mcgeeva - thinking of you today!!

    I've gotta say, guys... the stress of the FET really does not put me in the mood for sexy time. I can see it both ways - wanting to have a last hurrah vs. taking a break during this time. 

    @mama2b1974 - the last embryo is SO stressful. FX for you and sending you good vibes.
