What I did differently ...

Went in to the cycle with the attitude its a step by step process and every step is an achievement. No expectations. This really helped me maintain a positive attitude as well.

I actually had an awesome relationship with my FS. It just so happened that I had to re-sign consents on the day but she was so supportive I am sure seing her on the day of the transfer definitely helped.

I absolutely rested after my transfer. No excuses. Not anything that I could think "did this make a diiference?" for the first 5 days. I literally stayed in bed or in an arm chair. I only moved between the two of them and the bathroom thats it.

I had no baths. I have heard it can increase your body temp too much and as a result your body may reject the baby. I only had showers. Just warm and very quick.

I did bowen therapy. Very relaxing.

And finally we too had decided that after only 12 months that with the increased costs and the drought being farmers that these last 3 embies were our shot. People have suggested its because we have children, but more because I am so practical. We have used ATR before just not IVF. I have had a history of cervical cancer and abnormal smears and so I have been very practical ever since going through that. I accepted that whats meant to be is meant to be and its all for a reason.

This will be our very last pregnancy as well regardless of the outcome. I hope some of this helps I am happy to support any of you in any way that I can. I have posted the steps process somewhere and its really important to remember that every step is important. Just getting AF, just getting the sperm, thses are all important steps.

Most of all my biggest tip, take time for yourself. There is an awesome book called "Nurturing yourself through IVF" it's a godsend.
