Any helpful advice for ivf prep

Starting IVF in 2 weeks does anyone have any feedback on any preparations other than general eg more folic for iron anything else ?

Thanks

It’s quite some time since I went through IVF - my daughter is now 14! But the one thing I remember being important is drinking lots of water. There is a thing called hyper stimulation of the ovaries which can happen and (certainly back in my day) they didn’t tell me about it until it happened to me. Drinking plenty fluids can help avoid / help treat it if it does happen to you. Other than generally having a healthy diet / level of fitness is good but not going to make a great deal of difference in the end. I think my main bit of advice would be to try and discuss with your partner what life will look like for you if the treatment doesn’t work and have a future to look forward to either way. That means that you will be more likely to relax while going through it and hopefully it will be successful! Very best of luck - it is a difficult thing to go through but worth every bit of pain if it is successful!

Thanks so much for your advice and kind words! Let’s hope I’m writing the same thing to someone in 14 years time 🙏.

Really appreciate your feedback Merry Xmas.
