HSG done... now need IVF dietary Advice

[rinsp]

Hi ladies

So I finally had my HSG scan today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The speculum was the worst part. When the inserted the dye I felt a bit if pressure but as soon as it was over all pain has gone. I followed instructions and took 1g paracetamol and some ibuprofen before I went and it seemed to Do the trick. So ladies dont be too worried it wasn't that bad for Me, although i can appreciate that everyone's experience is different.

The scan was the last of mine and hubby's pre IVF tests and everything has come back looking fine (phew!) . The prolactin result I thought was raised was actually normal.

Now I have to really focus on getting my body and mind ready for the IVF journey. This is where i need your expertise and experience. I have read a lot about an IVF/ Fertilty diet and I'm still unsure what I should and should not be eating.

Can anyone offer any advice on what diet should be eating?? I have dietary restraints.

Any cleansing herbal medication??

I have started a yoga course this week which was amazing and really allowed me to relax and will be starting accupuncture next week!

Eeekkk here's to preparations!

I have been advised to start a diet of 75grams protein to help with egg development and not to eat carbs wherever possible

Vitamin tablets with folic acid in

And I'm starting acupuncture

Hope that helps

Good luck with everything xx

Wow. That's a lot of protein! Are you with a private clinic?

[penny24 in reply to rinsp]

No it's NHS but it's the acupuncturist recommended that

2cups of tea a day max

2small glasses of wine per week max - there image are stats to say red wine is better than white wine as it increases blood flow to the uterus

Reduce stress

Drink lots of water

The clinic last time just said each a healthy diet and my round failed xx
