I feel strange asking, but if I can't ask my DS buddies, than who CAN I ask? This morning in the shower I decided I needed to stick my fingers way up there and clean out any of the progesterone that might still be hanging around. When I did, I felt something strange and went to pull it out--it's attatched!!! What the hell is it? When I got out of the shower, I pulled enough down that I was able to cut a little bit(because I wanted to examine it closely)----it's string?? white string. Seriously, what the hell is that??? How did it get there. It's attatched--I can't just pull it out. I'm totally freaked about it. PLEASE---any ideas??????????

No idea. Ring your Doc, I am sure it is not serious. Let us know how you get on.
Take care

Definitely call your doc. Is it possible there's a tampon lodged in?
Keep us posted

Call the doc. Not knowing what he has you on we can't really make an educated guess. I am sure it is residual something and nothing to worry about but still...

I would have thought tampon, but if you don't use them - get on the phone and call the doc.

I wonder if you just had an IUI b/c I read that some docs will stick something kinda like a tampon up there right afterwards. Probably not, but just checking.

This is actual string--my husband is convinved that it's something that was used during the egg retrieval. Could it be possible that they had to stitch me up for some reason? Did they fail to tall me that something went wrong? I have an appointment with the RE on Monday morning--hopefully he'll be able to give me an answer. Thanks for your responses.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
