What should I expect for the day of a frozen embryo transfer? Is it physically uncomfortable? Any recovery afterward I should plan for?

It’s uncomfortable holding in your pee but the procedure itself is fine very minimal discomfort. I rested after my transfer but they said you don’t have to

FET is super simple! To the point another made, showing up with a full bladder is the hardest part. I think it’s also difficult emotionally, but physically, it is a super easy process with no downtime. Way easier than the egg retrieval. Good luck!

Exactly this!

I just went through this- I’m 9 days post- tomorrow is my blood test

I didn’t have any symptoms other than I was exhausted and passed out when I got home but I think they was due to my anxiety levels

PS: also a stress pee-er. It’s the worst part but the entire procedure is very fast and you’ll be so distracted by watching it happen and also them walking you through it you honestly forget about it in the moment. Once you’re done they let you pee right away. I was nervous I was going to pee out my embryo lol. (You can’t) again, high anxiety over here

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
