embarassing, but I have to know....

Please don't laugh, but did anyone else get scared when they had to go to the bathroom during 2ww? The progesteone has caused some constipation, so it's more work then usual (tmi, I know). I'm afraid I am going to force the embies out? Did anyone else feel this?
Also, someone said they heard no chocolate or ice cream during 2ww. I have been eating chocolate covered ice cream bars at the rate of about 2 a day since transfer. Could this really have an impact?

Don't worry about the toilet thing - it's quite common and you certainly couldn't squeeze them out if that's what you're worried about! (Possibly TMI) I don't know about the chocolate or ice-cream - I've not heard that but I would be extremely shocked if that would make any difference whatsoever - I'm sure you're absolutely fine doing what makes you feel happy - the best thing for your embies is you relaxed and happy so I would feel a few choc ices are going to help rather than hinder. Good luck with everything, Cherylx

hang in there..


and to answers your question..

i worried 24 7 about going to the bathroom or bending over or walking to much or eating this or that..

plums and apple juice will help with going to the bathroom..

also drinking water will help with going to the bathroom to and it is great for you and baby..
good luck to you and think positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Megan ... First of all - Nobody will laugh. We've heard it all, many times before ! There's NO WAY you're going squeeze baby embies out, so stop worrying. The No Eating chocolate is just because it contains caffieine. I'm sure chocolate ice cream can't contain very much ! Re the ice cream ... I haven't heard that you can't eat this. I can only presume it's unpasteurised ice cream that you can't eat. I'm sure you'll be okay. Don't worry !

Thank you all so much for the advice. I feel so much better now. This board is great. Good luck to all the other 2ww's.

Try taking Colace. I asked my doctor about the constipation before starting the second ICSI and she said it is safe. She took it when she was pregnant. I've been using it for this ICSI and it works great.
