What did it for you?

Hi tascha,
-my natural bfp was a fluke, we had only been trying for 1 month and i had only a vague idea that I O'd around day 11/12, we DTD on CD11.
-my most successful bfp ( as in, we got to see an embryo with a heartbeat @ 7 Wks before m/c) was an FET, the things i did differently from other ivf transfers were; cut sugar out of my diet for a few months prior, DIDN'T do a pre and post transfer acupuncture ( time and location issues prevented it) and like Tei, my DH wasn't present at the transfer, so as you can see theres no rhyme or reason.
I'm still a fan of acupuncture though lol
Best of luck
p.s. My DH's colleague and his wife are having trouble conceiving, his advice to him "whatever you do, don't tell her to relax" ....he learnt that a long time ago

6 years of TTC, we had to turn to IVF. But along with that, we did acupuncture and I got myself into the best shape and health I'd ever been in. Our first IVF cycle was a success and our DD is now almost 18 months.

But just before we started IVF we had a freak natural pregnancy immediately after a HSG but unfortunately miscarried that.

Good luck!

PCOS - 7 years trying altogether

First 4 years of trying were (along with trying naturally)

TCM (acupuncture and herbs)- fail

Clomid 2x -fail

FSH injections x2 - fail

so in the last three years embarked on

Naturopath and special diet which led to a bout of hyperthyroid with extreme weight loss

Ovarian drilling which gave me my first ever regular cycles (but they were 40 days!! )

IVF/ICSI x 1 combined with a special IVF routine of acupuncture = BFP!!

I think the combination of weight loss, ovarian drilling, acupuncture and ICSI did it!

My DH has finally got it as well! he was part of the 'take a holiday' and 'relax' and my favourite: 'it will happen when the time is right'. he now understands that's not helping anyone!

Thanks ladies! So interesting to hear everybody's stories.
I think I have made my decision and will be making a call after I type this post

Oh forgot to say we followed Zita West as far as we could when we were doing the IVF. I also ate brazil nuts till they were coming out of my ears and drank tons of water throughout stimming and EPU time.
