Hey ladies! So the day is finally here! Transfer in a few hours! Are most of u that are in ur wait period resting up or keeping busy? Are there any foods that's I should eat to help implantation? X

Hi samrakkar. Oh how exciting – obviously you will be anxious too! I think most of my ladies tend to take it easy for a few days after FET, and don’t do any lifting or strenuous exercise. Otherwise, live life as normally as you can while you are waiting to test. A good diet to have at this time consists of variety, however, I have listed some of the “good” things to have: Carbohydrates - Wholegrain bread and wholemeal pasta, oatmeal, brown rice. All fresh vegetables especially raw or steamed. Over boiling rids them of vitamins and minerals, pineapple juice, apricots, potatoes, all fruit and honey, beans, chickpeas and lentils. Protein - Organic meat if possible, poultry, fish, Milk and hard cheese, nuts and seeds. Fat - Extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, avocado and peanut butter, mackerel, sardines, nuts (especially Brazil and walnuts), seeds, sweet corn and sweet potatoes. The things to avoid are too much sugar, processed foods, ready meals, butter, ice cream etc. A little is OK, but not all the time. Drink plenty of water and only a little tea and coffee if feeling deprived. Cut right down or right out – alcohol and smoking. Oh and don’t forget the Folic Acid! Hope this helps and all the best with the FET. Diane

How is butter not allowed? On the list of foods that you need to eat from my doctor butter is one of them.

Hi babylucas. This was a list I got from a nutritionist.often we are advised not to eat too much fat, so leaving out butter was her advice. I feel a little would not matter.your doctor would only give you good advice, so stick with what he/she advises. Diane

Thank you.. I was concerned a bit there because I am about to eat a sandwich that's gut butter in it. Ha! 😊😊

Hey, the day of transfer I took it easy after, just chilled at home but still made sure I moved about every so often. The following day I was doing my everyday routine, housework etc but not lifting anything too heavy. Then after that I tried to just do normal everyday things. I hope your transfer went smoothly, wishing you lots of luck xx
