I was awoken in the middle of the night last night by a sleep orgasm.
All the information from the fertility clinic clearly states that intercourse and orgasms MUST be avoided after transfer. I was so upset that I unintentionally broke the rules. Obviously, I didn't mean to do it, it just happened. I was/am pretty concerned that I might have done something to effect our chances of success.
I emailed my doctor and told her what happened. She replied that it was fine, but somehow I am not completely reassured. I would be devastated if I unknowingly did something to jeopardize my little embryo.
I'm trying not to worry about it or think about it, but I must admit it's on my mind. I just keep picturing that poor embryo in sudden earthquake of uterine contractions. Poor little guy. I hope everything is OK.
What a weird thing to post about.
[Update: Bygones. There's nothing I can do about last night's *clears throat* "nocturnal event", so there's no point in worrying about it. Right? The doctor doesn't seem concerned so there's no point in me freaking out either. What's done is done. Notably, this panic did send me into a seriously frenzied internet search hosted by none other than Dr. Google, thereby breaking my newly imposed rule. I slipped up, it won't happen again. Really! It won't! (I see the glint of doubt in your eyes.) Anyway, it is what it is. My little embryo, besides being jostled about and already privy to some hot XXX action, is probably fine in there (knock on wood). I hope the rest of this 2WW goes a little smoother...]

Oh no! What a stressful situation!!! But I am SURE your doctor is right and you are fine. You cannot help what happened, so there is no reason to worry over it.
But sheesh, where was your mind last night???!!! LOL
Hope you are genuinely feeling better.
STOP GOOGLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That sucks! (not the orgasam part--lucky you for that, but the worry part....)
I'm sure it will be fine. Many embryos have had a rockier start than that. The office just wants to help you have the best possible chance.
Now remember: cold shower and pictures of Danny Divito before bed should help for tonight.
I really don't know where to go with this one....
er...congratulations.... & Im sure everythings just perfect...
I think it should be fine! Orgasms are a normal part of life, and I can't see how it would impact a little embryo. If my fertility clinic gives me advice like that, I'm going to be asking a LOT of questions, like, "What is the evidence behind what you are telling me? Has there ever been a study to prove this, or is it just someone's random theory?" I hope this doesn't sound dismissive to you... what I'm trying to say is, "I bet everything will be just fine."
I really do feel your angst, though. I am obsessing over OPKs and IUI timing, and it's really hard!!! Best of luck to you and your sweet little embryo!
ohhowfunny. i think it doesn't matter! how many women have insane orgasms during the two week wait. you are too much. i would have LOVED to have been a little bird on the wall when you made that phone call. ; )
