I'm just wondering what advice you have been given prior and post FETs and fresh transfers. I know you're supposed to take it easy after the transfer, no hot showers or spas following the transfer, no heavy lifting, no s** for a week after the transfer, that type of thing.
But I'm interested to know if anyone has other useful tips prior to and post transfer.
Just wondering if I should have posted this some place else seeing I haven't got any responses yet. I thought there were a lot of women on belly going through IVF who might have had some tips.
The only advice my FS gave me post fresh transfer was don't do anything to raise your body temp eg. hot baths, saunas etc, and no intensive exercise. I think you have pretty much covered all the no-no's in your post but I will say that I didn't really rest for much after my transfer, had to get in the car and drive home for a start LOL But I didn't knock myself out either, just went home and had a pretty much normal day, oh and did a little bit of light gardening in the afternoon - it was a morning transfer. It must have all done the trick though because I'm 32 weeks pg from that little embie.
The only other thing which I have been told, and the teller may see this and pop in here with a bit of luck is that strawberries and pineapple core have been suggested to help with implantation.
Congrats on your pg! Well done hun. Thanks for your tips, looks like strawberries and pineapple core for me Hey, it might just work and it's yummy food too!
I have no real tips for you as have not had lasting success but I have tried everything.
Research & my acupuncturist advise sex before a transfer - I think it has something to do with naturally you would have had sex in order to get pregnant (what an odd concept to us LT ACers!) so you are replicating as close as possible the natural order of things.
I've heard Pineapple Juice can help aid implantation.
Not sure about all the resting though - think it's a good idea to lay down for at least 10 minutes after the transfer (this might be difficult if you have a FS who rushes you out) but think normal activity is probably the way to go for the rest of the time. The time I did get my BFP I played the hulahoop game on the Wii Fit about a week into the TWW - maybe my embie was forced to grip onto the sides???
Acupunture and Chinese herbs can help too - there is a sticky thread about this - would link it but I don't know how - sorry.
Really just wanted to wish you heaps of luck, hope your next transfer brings you your BFP. x
Thanks hun, I have now heard the 'sex before transfer' thing a few times so I'm going to give it a go! lol
I wish you much success in achieving a BFP soon hun, I know it's a hard road but we are good people, we have faith and we have courage, and it will happen for us.
