Tips to prepare for IVF

[Canadawaterchick]

Do you lovely people have any tips to prepare for IVF? We’re both having Ubiquinol, vitamin d and omega 3.. My hubby is currently trying to cut the booze back and taking condensyl and proxseed! Any suggestions welcome and thank you in advance xx

My one top tip for your cycle is to make sure you both take time for yourselves through this. Its bloody hard work, do some exercise as and when you feel like it, have some things planned for the next few weeks like date nights or days out and ensure you spend some time just being you two. We had leave when we went through our cycle and it was fab to go out for the day and forget about the IVF for a few hours because when we got home and were at work our lives were consumed by it. Its hard going but I think by making time to switch off from it all helps massively. Speak to your clinic if you haven't already about your vitamins and supplements you're both taking to ensure they dont interact with your IVF meds, ours recommended I take folic acid and a good varied diet will do everything else for us but every clinic is different!

Good luck!

Good luck with your journey xx

Speak with your doctor about vitamins but if you feel better about taking some just take, I don't think will harm you, my doctor said to take just folic acid but I did start to take some vitamins just because give me the feeling that will prepare me better for the next egg collection xx

Try to relax ( I know is impossible 😅)

You do all the best and everything right and will go to work 👶🤰🤱👼👪
