Pg after LT TTC - What did you do differently?

[tammaspice]

Hello,

I was pregnant last year on my first FET but sadly had a missed miscarriage. That cycle I did acupuncture for a few weeks before the transfer, then on the morning off the transfer then not for 2wks as my acupuncture guy was away and we got a BFP... sadly it wasn't meant to be.

The next 3 FET cycles I did the acupuncture before on the morning of the transfer then a few days later and got a BFN.

Last cycle I thought I'd try something different and did the acup****ure as usual for a few weeks before then on the morning off then thought as it worked first pregnancy didnt do it again for 2wks and we a a BFP!

However I did also take 5 brazil nuts a day from day before transfer to day 5 after transfer (generally in the arvo) and bought a pineapple and cut 1/5 off it each day over 5 days and ate it all (the core wasn't the easiest and had to be spat out a few times) at night for dessert and I also had 100% Sunraysia pineapple juice - 1 glass in the morning. Not sure if this was the clencher for getting a positive but I'm 8wks today and was told last week I had a strong u/sound so here's hoping it continues to stick...

The brazil nuts and pineapple juice assist in getting a strong implantation I've heard so figured I'd try it and the one cycle we did it worked!!! Don't do it earlier than 1 day before embryo transfer or more than 5 days later as it can then turn your lining too acidic which is bad for the embryo...

Oh and I took 2mths off work to destress from my stressful job and hope that helps. Certainly not something everyone can do and it did stuff our finances around but I found after 3wks that I was totally relaxed and by the time the FET happened I was work? what work? ha ha. I have a very stressful job so I think going stress free for a while certainly helped me out. Now to remain stressfree as possible now back at work so I don't miscarry again... lots of prayers happening here and taking it as easy as I can do!

Hope it all works out for you and your friend's sister.
