As you may have read, I had my embryo transfer yesterday. Well, just a little while ago, I fell. My DH had just mopped the floor, and I didn't know it. I walked in there, and slipped. I fell down, but now hard. I mostly slipped down to my knees, but my left leg slipped under the cabinet, and I banged my ankle pretty good on the edge. I have ice on my ankle, but it has a pretty good purple line across it. I'm just worried about my embryos!!! I hope I didn't jar them or anything!!!! UGH!!!!
Do you think I need to worry???? Like I said, it wasn't a hard fall. But I'm still worried.........
WEll, there isn't anything you can do now but take it easy and stay positive. It sounds like a light fall aso I really wouldn't worry. The worry won't help anyway. Think good thoughts!!!!!
Best of luck on getting a BFP!

judging from the picture of your cute little Parker- I bet your little embies are good little stickers. They're probably clingin' onto your womb saying- "hey mom, take it easy out there, would 'ya!"
The uterus is a tough place designed to protect our little beans, it really takes a pretty big fall to be associated with miscarriage. It sounds like yours was not so bad (although i'm sure VERY uncomfortable!--ouchy!)

I'll tell you what my Dr. said to me concerning this very issue. Actually my DH slipped and fell on my stomach (tripped over the dog). He said if it were that easy to hurt an embryo, we wouldn't need abortion clinics. Don't stress too much. I'm sure you and the embies are just fine : )
I am glad you posted this myboyparker as I have fallen twice now since my ET. Once the day after as DH left his shoes in front of the chair and when I got off the couch I tripped over them and landed on my knees. 2nd was today as I was trying to give my dog his ear meds and he shook and took out my wonderfully fresh manicured big toe and I tried to dodge the rest and ended up on top of his. Thankfull he is 85lbs and cushioned my fall
Your husband mopped the floor and you didn't know it?! The only way my husband is mopping a floor is with me standing over him with a nagging expression on my face. Fall or not, you are a lucky girl.
