Hot water bottles??

[Birdboy1]

I’ve been told that using a hot water bottle and drinking lots of milk could help.

I only found this out whilst I was injecting in my first cycle. I know you have to stop with the bottles as soon as egg collection has taken place.

But dose anyone know when it’s best to start doing both??

Not sure to start next week.

I did this after my first scan as my follicles hadn’t grown very much. They did grow but I dunno if this was the reason x

Yeah that’s the same as me. Anything’s worth a try.

Thanks x

Yes I’ve heard of using heat. When I went for acupuncture, in the appointments during stimulation phase, they put a heat lamp over my abdomen when I was lying with the needles in. Don’t know about the milk. Is it to do with the protein in it? I am always a bit wary of my dairy intake as I’ve read too much of it can be a bad thing. I have cut way back on the amount of cheese I eat but still have natural bio yogurt x

Yes that what I researched. As I don’t eat meat I was worried I was lacking in protein and milk would be a better option. But didn’t realise about dairy being another issue!! Oh no x

Hey, I used hot water bottles through all the stims and my ivf nurse told me to drink a pint of full fat milk a day as it is thought to be good for egg quality! I don’t know whether that made the difference but I had 11 eggs collected and ended with 5 top quality eggs! I stopped using the water bottles after egg collection! Good luck x x
