Just a comment on the debate regarding bedrest after ET...My clinic says bed rest for 2 days, but you can still shower, go to the loo, and walk around, but they don't want you doing any housework or any lifting.
I noticed there had been such a difference from doctor to doctor so did a little "google research" a few months ago, and recall finding an article/website that actually tested the success rates between those women who were on bed rest and those that returned to "light-duty" semi-normal activity (and standing upright) right away. They found that the ladies that stood up afterwards and didn't stay lying down had slightly higher success rates. They found that when they did the ET, there was actually a little air bubble that gets transferred behind the embie they could see in the ultrasound. They figure that the standing causes the air bubble to push on the embie and help keep it in place for attachment to take place. They did try to communicate zero bed rest to their patients, and they nearly rioted, so they let women make the decision for themselves. Again, that’s just one “study” (not sure if “official” study was actually done) that was done. Not very conclusive, but just another take on the whole debate. If the “experts” are debating as much as they are over the procedures to use that result in highest success rates, there’s no wonder we get confused…
Take care, ladies…I wish you all the best, the happiest of holiday (for my American sisters), and happy birthday Lara…My 35th is this Saturday, so I know what it’s like to have a pumpkin pie for a birthday cake every year. I was a “big turkey” too…Can you imagine! I was 11 lbs. 7 ozs. when I was born!!

My mother is truly a saint. I was her 9th baby, and after that, was her last…Can’t blame her…But, I broke the tie! The girls won…We had four boys & four girls in my family up to that point, and I was the “swing vote”…Girls rule!

Take care my dearest of friends. I'm so thankful for you all...
