Can you "miscarriage" your embryos because of pushing too hard trying to poop???

I know it sounds crazy but sometimes I don't even want to push when I'm in the bathroom..... stupid constipation drives me crazy. I ate apples in the morning for breakfast and drank a lot of water so i went to the bathroom :)

Just wanted to say that I agree with the others. You cannot push the embies back out ;-) But the constipation after transfer sure is annoying (those progesterone supplements can really "clog things up"). I was also told I could use colace. Oh and I started eating the high-fiber cereals in the morning, and they're great too!

Best of luck to you and your little embies!

SSBD!!!

I have to say I wondered this myself. At by looking at the time you posted your question, it was the exact same time. Crazy.

As weird as it sounds I too had the same thought after my transfer.  But no you cannot miscarry because of it, dont worry.

You can dilute prune juice in orange juice to help you go.  Good luck.  When do u go in for the beta?

Hey when I was pregnant years ago w/ both of my boys the prenatels did that same thing to me!! I was scared to go because it hurt so bad. My doctor told me to eat bran cereal every morning and I never had any problems after that. Not sure if that is the case w/ you but maybe. :)
