Hi rachaelrix86. As you say, this is so exciting to think that you are about to start your frozen cycle, but an anxious time too. Try not to worry too much about your embryo, as modern methods of “freezing” call vitrification, are just amazing! We used to have problems with ice crystals forming using the old methods, but this has now pretty much been done away with now. All I can say is to keep yourself as healthy as you can with a sensible diet with perhaps a handful of Brazil nuts and plenty of water and pineapple juice. Don’t forget your multi-vitamin with folic Acid too. A little gentle exercise wouldn’t go amiss either. Keeping everything crossed that all goes well for you both. Diane

Hi. Most consultants do recommend a multi-vitamin tablet while trying to get pregnant, and also when pregnant. Sometimes, our lives are so busy, we don't always check that we eat well. They can't harm you, and you can get pre-conception ones that include the correct amount of Folic Acid in them too. Good luck! Diane
