Sorry to bug with so many questions but I have one that is bugging me. I usually go to the bathroom twice a week would it be a bad idea to take a mild laxative a day or two before implantation. I eat such high protien and a lot of fiber to help push everythin through but nothing seems to work.

I prefer that my patients not strain (increase intra-abdominal preassure) for a couple of days after embryo transfer.  I would not advist using a stimulent laxative, but a stool softener, or glycerine suppository.
Good luck.
