I would have titled yesterday’s event as “The Full Bladder” had it not been for the very important event that took place. Why? Because when they ask you to have a full bladder, that will be about the only thing on your mind for at least 30 minutes before the transfer. In fact, I think I tried to be an overachiever because I had to relieve myself a couple times before the appointment.
So, for those going through IVF – when they tell you to have a full bladder, my suggestion is to know how quickly your bladder fills up before you start drinking!
Today is the day after transfer… I feel cramping. Like little pulling here and there.. It may have been something I ate, may be gas, excitement, nerves. You name it. And I’m tired. Not sure if it’s all in my head. So don’t take this as a go-to reference just yet!
Anyway, thanks all for your thoughts and positive words, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Ohhhh the full bladder. A feeling I will never forget. I cried and hardly saw the transfer on the monitor because I was trying not to pee in his face! Yay for transfer! Praying for you 🙂
45 minutes… That’s the average time it takes for water to hit your bladder.
