I'm not usually one for paranoi or unsubstantiated worry but....right now I cant help it.
<br />
<br />We are doing our 4th Frozen embryo transfer with the last of our frozen embryos. I probably wouldnt have thought twice about it but I saw this accupuncturist who seemed very knowledgeable and then she started talking about not taking long trips, avoiding vibrations etc, never having any idea about my vest. Even though I think she is full of BS it got into my pshyche a bit.
<br />
<br />I was on bed rest for 2 days, light duty a 3rd and I couldnt bring myself to do my vest or any PT---dumb I know, someoene please tell me how dumb!
<br />
<br />Today I decided I will do it with the bottom unclasped whcih on my respirtech is still more than a chest vest. I miscarried on our 3rd FET and I am a bit paranoid now. I have googled every variation of vibrations, car rides, pregnancy, jostling, early miscarriage, everything and found no scientific fact anywhere.
<br />
<br />I did not use the vest last time we were pregnant so I cant rely on that to insubstantiate my fears. Any other IVF'ers out there?

i did my vest throughout my preg, 2-3 times a day. i never worried much about it. i figured, if this baby can be in here with how much coughing i'm doing-over and over again...she wont mind the vest. personally, i think they don't even feel it.
there is so much fluid and tissue cradling them.

nicole-honestly, with what you've been through its perfectly understandable that you'd be 'paranoid'. if i were in your shoes i know i'd do the same thing. if you can't bring yourself to do the vest, then why not try an acapella?

btw-how'd you raise your fev1 that much in 2 months? pm me...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I am so glad you asked this question... I am 13 weeks pregnant and also usually have my 2 year old sit on my lap during treatments. I am happy to know that it doesn't sound like there should be any effects from the vibrations. Thank you for asking, and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
