    Thanks drbeee, I can see you point. Although we have an almost non existant chance of fertilizing an egg during a FET with DTD, as my hubby's count is zero per so many million sperm, poor bugger! I guess when you have a snip you should look at it as a pernament thing and not hope it can be reversed one day successfully! I was kind of hoping that with DTD the night before it might be nice and sticky in there for the embie, sorry TMI!

    Oh yes I can see your point!!

    I have multiple friends who conceived naturally after IVF, so its always at the back of my mind that miracles might happen... but the snip kind of scuppers that.

    You go girl, and get sticky! (see I can do TMI too! LOL)

    LOL (re. getting sticky!) (and thanks for making me laugh - I need it!). The best of good luck to you with the transfer!

    Well, I'll be. Pineapples and strawberries! Haven't heard that before - just as well I'm growing some s/b out the back!

    Drbeee, I am willing to try ANYTHING! lol. So far, it's the pineapple core/juice and strawberries for me (thankfully I love both) but I'm still researching DTD before and/or after the FET. Hmm, not sure what to do now. I have conflicting advice now

    Hey Alice, I've had my share of laughs on belly, they always help!! Thanks for your wishes hun, I would put super glue in there if it meant the embie would stick! ha ha.
    Only kidding, I wouldn't do THAT

    Best wishes to you both too!

    Hi Beata

    I had two IVF cycles with fresh transfer and was lucky the second time around.

    The first time I had read about the pineapples juice - it is actually the pineapple CORE that is supposed to help implantation. We had a stressful two hour drive back from the clinic. I went home, put my feet up and really dosed up on slices of fresh pineapple the next day. No luck.

    In between cycles I read conflicting info that pineapple can cause contractions . So the second time around I avoided it, but did try the STRAWBERRIES. Rather than combating Sydney traffic we spent the night in Sydney, dined in a lovely restaurant and had an early night. This time = success. I should point out the second time was a Day 5 transfer, instead of Day 6 which is thought to have a slightly higher success rate.

    I really do not know if the strawberries helped, or not. But there seems to be a lot of chat about both strawberries and pineapples on the www.

    All the best Beata - hope to see a ticker under your signature very soon

    Hi hun,

    Thanks so much for your good wishes, I am praying my little embie is strong and resilient and a fighter! I guess the strawberries are worth a go!

    Congrats on your BFP hun, and I hope it rubs off on me!
