I used medrol too. I think it was just for a few days though, and we did ICSI, so I think it had to do with that. I also took estriodal and progesterone. All these meds...hard to know what does what, huh?!
Used medrol on my FET and ended up w/ a bfp...but miscarried at 9 wks, BUT not due to the medrol! Have used medrol on all of my IVF's w/ no problems...have a 23 month old from my 3rd IVF.
Good luck! Do take it a bit easy. I was only on bedrest for one day after my FET. I have a friend w/ has two daughters from two different IVF's (fresh, not frozen) and she drove 6 hrs after each transfer. There is so much literature going either way on the bedrest scenerio, so really...do what feels right to you. Trust yourself!! We really need to do that when it comes to our fertility procedures.
Again...good luck!!!
ok next question
(I have had success FET before but never with medrol)
this RE wants me to use medrol
did you use it?
thanks ladies
I am sooooooooo nervous
I want a succedssful pregancy and would love twins
I will decide this week on talking moday off
i am really nervous
we still don;t know how many they are willing to put back
the embryologists won;t even talk to me until I am on "their"schedule that is frustrating
I want them to put 4 back
My first FET was chemical. Second FET happened to be on a Monday, Tuesday was holiday and I took Wed off. I just wanted to give myself more time. I felt different with that one from the beginning. When dr pushed the syringe with the 2 embies and deposited them in my uterus, not only did I see a bit of fluid but I also felt it. Since then I had developed a connection with the embies and now am 36 wks 3d with twins. I guess it just depends on how you feel about about it, some women go back to work the very next day and have a healthy pregnancy. Good luck.
I had 2 successful pregnancies from 5 IVF attempts. Both times that worked, were sttempts when I had taken a week off of work and I basically let myself lie around the house for at least 3 days after the transfer. That was a bit extreme probably :)
A friend of mine drove herself to and from her transfer procedure and was at work the next day---this was her first IVF attempt and it worked for her.
I think what's most important is to try (as much as possible) to stay in the right frame of mind (regardless of whether at work or home). You don't want to obsess over it, but I think maintaining positive thoughts and minimizing any stress can work wonders.
Good luck--this is an exciting time for you!
