Here we go - ADVICE PLEASE! FET cycle about to start

[NsKaz]

So just a little update on me. I had to take a complete break from TTC following my first negative fresh ivf round. I was so very ill with OHSS that I actually didn't call the clinic after having to wait 3 months, but waited another month until my body felt physically back to normal. (July-Sept I just felt so ill and in pain).

I went back to my clinic on Wednesday to see the fertility counsellor. Even just driving up to the hospital was hard - it brought everything back and made me relive what happened to us over the summer. I was so emotional, but so relieved to hear the counsellor say that everything I was thinking and feeling was a normal and healthy part of the grieving process. It did however open the lid to my 'ivf box' that I guess I have been trying hard to keep a lid on and I have been a bit of a mess for the last few days. I had to take some time off as it was all just too much. Led to migraines and feeling physically awful.

My drugs for my FET cycle were delivered yesterday - I thought that would set me off again but weirdly I actually felt a bit excited. It's hard to go into the next round feeling positive but I will try!

I'm going to have acupuncture for this round & have just been reading about things you can do to help a FET cycle e.g lots of veg, fresh beetroot juice etc. Do any of you have any advice for things I can do to help the chances of a successful implantation this time?

Thanks xx

Hi I’m coming to the end of my 2ww, I took it off work - I’m a nursery nurse and the job can be very demanding and physical.

This was my second go, I’ve been doing acupuncture for 4 months now. I started it after my first round, I definitely recommend it! They give you so much advice on things to do and not to do and foods to eat and not.

Wishing you all the best!🍀

If you are doing acupuncture you can claim back through various health insurance companies . I pay £10 a week for my health insurance and end up claiming back £100 a month or so from acupuncture cuz it’s £50 a month and I get 50% back amongst other things. Good luck with your cycle x
