ET TODAY.. NERVOUS AS EVER

[Aksad123]

Hi ladies. This afternoon I go in for ET. Just the 1 only. Hope it all goes well. Pls keep me in your prayers. Any last minute tips

Yes, don't rest too much afterwards. I rested for first 24 hours then went for walks as this allows your blood to circulate giving a healthier uterus as the oxygenated blood is rejuvenated. Eat 1/4 of a pineapple including the core, a glass of pomegranate juice and a hand full of Brazil nuts per day. Could all be a myth who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I t worked for me 💋 Good luck 🤞🏼

Good luck, It only takes one

My second ET was awful, my cervix was too tight and she nipped me going in, which was so painful. However, one thing I kept telling myself is that I needed to stay positive and think happy thoughts. So, try relax. Have a cup of warm herbal tea before the transfer (rather than water). Do what you feel like doing after the transfer though! I just went home, got pizza and watched tv. One thing I did do the days after the transfer was I tried to only eat warm foods and drink warm drinks.

You pick up so many tips on-line and who is to say what works as we all have different experiences, but I felt like doing this was giving my little embryo a warm place to hatch and grow.

Remember though, that despite what anybody may tell you or what you do; it sticks or it doesn't and much of that is out of our hands by the time it comes to transfer.

Oh and don't forget to let you OH (or whoever is there for you) spoil you for the rest of the day, that is VERY important and well deserved after everything you have been through

Best wishes hun!

Had mine 2 days ago and it was quite smooth for me. The only thing that bothered me was my full bladder. I have a weak bladder as it is so having it full so uncomfortable. The actual transfer itself felt like a Pap smear. The excitement of it all helps ease the fear of being uncomfortable.

I only had the one transferred and praying it sticks. Praying for you too!
