December-January Cycle Buddy's Our New beginnings
My Hello dear! Thanks for keeping us posted! Wow, 13 eggies, but that's amazing! 
Are you saying that you wanted more because you're hoping to have little frozen embies or because you're concerned about the fertilization rate?
Sorry to hear that you're not too well after your intervention... how did it go?
Take care and I hope DH takes good care of you! And I'll mentally cheer all your DH's best swimmers!

Hello... me again, guys!
I know I've been posting a lot, but no patient was scheduled for me here (ah, research settings!) and I'm bored to tears so I have pleeeeenty of time to surf the net!
And well, I was making a few modifications to my schedule here so people take it easy during my transfer week and are aware that I might not be available on my possible ER/ET dates... and that got me thinking.
What do I want to do in terms of taking it easy after my transfer?
So I thought about some of the Do's and Don'ts I read on the thread here... and I did a MEDLine search (scientific articles). Here's my two cents:
Just a note about baths. It's TRUE that you can't take baths for a good week after any surgery that left a wound on your skin. Some clinics do egg retrieval through general anaesthesia and laparoscopy. Of course people can't take baths then because of infection risks! They have surgery wounds!! But with more "mainstream" ER, there's no reason to worry about infections. The thing about hottubs is that pregnant women are told to be very CAREFUL about taking too hot jacuzzis (same for kids under 12), because the too hot water could make their blood pressure rise too much and cause trouble. But they're not forbidden to take hot tubs or jacuzzis because of that; just told to be careful about water temperature.
I checked on MEDline for scientific articles on IVF and specifically about bed rest. I don't remember who here is a massage therapist and talked about the dangers of bed rest for blood circulation, but she was totally right. ALL of the studies I read concluded that bed rest after embryo transfer, whether as little as 20 minutes after transfer or 24 hours after transfer, has absolutely no impact on implantation or pregnancy rates.
The reason why some clinics still recommend it is that, at the very beginning of IVF procedures, when the knowledge was not as detailed as it is today, doctors recommended complete bed rest because it was the logical thing for them to do. And then gradually, people started to question that and tested that theory. The results are there, and on thousands of IVF patients. It makes no difference. If your clinic recommends you 48 hours of complete bed rest, I would want to discuss the recent scientific findings with them if I were you.
Some studies went further than just testing whether or not bed rest makes a difference, however. They tested whether bed rest had a negative impact on implantation and pregnancy rates. Some studies found it is the case. They compared a 20 minutes bed rest after transfer to a 24h bed rest and found that the women who were in bed rest for 24 hours had significantly lower implantation and pregnancy rates than the others!
Some of these studies also tested other things patients did despite what their clinic recommended: walking slower, no exercise at all, avoiding stairs, and so on. Again... no impact on implantation or pregnancy whatsoever.
It's tempting for me to do all these things anyway as well; I'm like all of you, I want to give it the best try possible. However, I'll keep these studies in mind and I'll keep the nurse's advice in mind. Don't misunderstand me; I certainly won't blame someone for taking some time off to focus on themselves, pamper themselves or just cope with stress by keeping a stressor (e.g. work) at bay for a few days. And I don't judge those who'll choose to do all kinds of small and big extra things in hopes that it will impact on their chances, but I'll do my best to avoid doing that. I feel that women do these things to feel better about themselves and be reassured, but medically, all the evidence points towards the fact that it has no impact whatsoever. And in some cases, when you limit yourself so much that you either become overstressed, unhappy, or impair your blood flow by staying too inactive, it can actually impact negatively on your chances.
My two cents... that info helped me; it might help others.

Hello bec,
Your post was so kind that I did not want to leave it unanswered.
You're right; it's true that looking at all the steps as milestones on a longer road is an advantage. It might even have been you who, not so long ago when I was freaking out at my delayed AF, told me that it's easy to lose focus and lose sight of the whole forest by looking at only one tree.
Don't worry! I'm not changing my nick!
Still keeping the faith and sharing that whole experience with you guys, the good, the bad and the ugly stepping stones as you called them, brings me a lot of comfort. And I'll soon know what the future has in store! Just like all of you here will!
Take care sweetie!
Sophie

Sophie I swear we read all the same internet stuff hehehe,
I was so concerned about the dos and don't going thru this all. I am one of the "go to the gym 7 days a week" girls. very active, very get up and go, and when I knew that so many recommended bed rest and all that I did all kinds of research, of course whatever it takes to get knocked up I would do it, but for me, i get a bit more stressed not regularily working out. even my doc and nurses confirmed that honestly there is NOTHING you can really do to up your chances. they told me not to go run a marathon after transfer, but Who the hell would want to try after Retrieval only days earlier. But yes i took about 5 days off from seriously working out after transfer, instead I went for walks. but I did go back at a modified pace and am BFP! I think it was so hard to really believe that what I did could effect the outcome for implantation. but I had to trust in God, and just know that one of these times it would work, it SUCKED when it didn't but I knew I did everything I could have done.
Just so hard o let go of that control in a way. and just "Be" I don't know the answers, I wish I did. I just know what I needed to do to be ok with my own self going thru this.
I have grown alot this year going thru IVF, and I am SO blessed to be going tomorrow to see how my little peanut is doing. It is scary how every clinic tells you different things. I am just so lucky that mine is really on the most recent studies, and lets us be people not just ivf patients.... ok i guess i soap boxed it for a while! hehehe.
Good findings though and good to share them with everyone here. oh and I am the massage chickie mmmmm massage!

IVF#4 BFP - YOOHOO!!!!
IVF#4 BFP - YOOHOO!!!!
Hi Ladies,
Sophie... thanks so much for the information. I took it very easy day 1 after my ET and semi-easy after Day 2. I did have a BFP, but who knows if that had anything to do with it. Ultimately lost it, so go figure. I think each individual needs to probably do what they are comfortable with. Besides it is a good excuse to either pamper yourself or let yourself be pampered by DH. Thank you also for the website you recommended regarding IVF questions. Interestingly enough, I am allergic to nuts, not peanuts, but given that the prog. shot could be in peanut oil I'm wondering if that's my issue. In the meantime, my creeping crud has covered my lower back and I want to rip my skin off. Still out of town and was able pick up aveeno anti itch and some Benadryl topical creme. Looking forward to seeing the dr. tomorrow.
My... Lucky 13, that's awesome!!
Kslany... Welcome to a very active and supportive thread. We are all here for you.
Mom... I went into this huge depression after my 2 months on Chlomid. I have no doubt it caused me some kind of imbalance and will never take it again. I talked at length with my dr. about going on an anti-depressant and he said that the risks of me not taking anything were higher than me taking it and that depression and pregnancy don't mix. That's all I needed to hear. I needed a healthy mind to make this work, so I gave in and am taking a very low dose of Lexapro. I really strugggled with this decision, but I do feel so much better. Not pushing drugs, but don't beat yourself up if you think it will help you.
More personals later, off to rub some Aveeno on myself.
hugs,
Ange

Okay, I HAD closed the window... but hehehe I checked again just to see... and I found... and well... here I am again.
Gotta turn that puter off!
Bec my girl, I'm not surprised we read the same stuff; we're quite alike on some aspects you and me I think! I remember you talking about training a lot (I admire you for that... unless I train by dancing, it's difficult for me to stay motivated... ah, but at least I do 30 minutes of stationary bike three times a week plus the flamenco! better than nothing!). Your labor and delivery will be like a day at the spa with a trained body like yours! (lol, I can hear all the mommies here grumble "yeah, right!" ) Personally, I'm really looking forward to become pregnant so I can have a pretext to start yoga. Silly how I wait till then, huh, but... I'm waiting! But the second that BFP hits me... hehehehe! Plus I'm sure I'll find a Stott's Pilates DVD for preggies somewhere...
Where was I?
I think your clinic's attitude is really the best. My doctor told me, and the nurse commented on that too, that women have become pregnant naturally since forever by just carrying on with their normal activities. Some had sex, some exercised, some worked hard in the fields or in other jobs... some were waitresses or nurses, for example, and had to stand all day long. I think your clinic and my clinic's attitudes really help take some stress of their patient's shoulders.
I agree 100% with you; some people try to control the uncontrollable by doing all these things. It is comforting in a way. And like in everything, it's always a challenge to just BE. hehehe still working on that!
Oh, and for the record honey, we're ALL looking forward to see how your little peanut(s) is/are doing tomorrow! (still convinced it's a singleton, huh?)
Ange, I'm glad that the information helped. Yes, going with what you're comfortable with is the key, I could not agree more! ... as long as that "comfortable" is backed by reliable info!
And I'm really sorry about that rash! Wow, it's really starting to sound intolerable! Poor thing! Does the Aaaaaaaaaaaaveeno help? You know Aveeno bases its product on a fact that's been well-known for ages! Try taking a bath with a cheesecloth or something like that filled with oatmeal (and tied, unless you want to bathe in a gicantic bowl of oatmeal!). Let it soak in the water for a while and then rub the little bag against your skin. It feels a little gooey, but it works wonders for the skin (I have VERY itchy legs during winter... viva electrical heating!).
I really hope your doctor can help! And if it's the oil, well, good news! There are alternatives!
Keep us posted dear!
Tata!
Sophie
