IVF got me thinking.. Again ๐Ÿ˜

For my next and last FET:

No lucky socks

No sleeping with socks in the 2ww

No pineapple

No acupuncture

No pomegranate juice

No rest

I will live my life just as it is and maybe this time will work!

Best of luck to everyone, soon we will get that precise little miracle we all pray for!

Sending tones of love and positive vibes ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

P.S. Decided not to do a transfer in October but will go to Turkey instead for 2 weeks and will travel to all the places I wanted to see (hubby is tuskish) ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

Hello, I was thinking the exact same not too long ago. My husband and I seem to have done everything โ€˜rightโ€™ and yet we still are not parents. I took the vitamins and Iโ€™ve ate so healthy + did the Mediterranean diet and nothing made a difference.

Iโ€™m so glad for this forum as it is educational and interesting reading the different things people try and go through.

Iโ€™ve actually put on a little weight since our miscarriage and I actually couldnโ€™t care less!

Hi Klndmr,

Your an amazing lady.

Love this!!! I did a lot of opposites in my second successful transfer - no fertility acupuncture, no lucky socks, small amount pineapple, didnโ€™t tell mine or husbands parents this time. Had lesser expectations and pressure of the unknown. Thereโ€™s a lot to be said for a change of routine lovely!

We enjoyed ourselves after our first round wow itโ€™s hard enough and all life consuming we had holidays and just lived like we werenโ€™t going through ivf in another few weeks

I didnโ€™t change any my unhealthy diet nor too much alcohol intake just steroids and supplements recommended. So go for it hun and I have everything crossed for you both, you deserve it xxxx

Hey hun....well that's what I did my last round and I finally got a BFP! (I did unfortunately miscarry at 11 weeks ๐Ÿ˜ฅ but more than likely a problem with the embryo) I didnt eat the pineapple or the Brazil nuts or the pomegranate juice, didnt wear socks all the time, I even drank the 1 cup of coffee a day my clinic said I could have! I think the pineapple and stuff is a bit of a myth anyways my FS specialist laughed when I told her about pineapple etc ๐Ÿ˜ enjoy your holiday and best of luck moving forward ๐Ÿ’– xxx

Kindmr I totally agree... I didn't do anything like that. I'm firm believer in what will be will be. I needed donor egg ivf and went Prague. Best thing we ever did. Good luck for next time kiddo ๐Ÿ˜˜

Sounds like a great plan. I love Turkey so much and always feel so relaxed and rested after a trip there. I saw a top fertility specialist at The Fertility Show and he basically said all the things we do to 'help' just really make us feel better, and don't really make much of a difference. He said basically have a glass of wine and live your life as per normal. He really changed my perspective on my last round (which worked!). Good luck xx

Could not agree more with this approach. Have a fantastic holiday.

Part of me is thinking why I did not listen to my consultant years ago when he suggested leading a normal life, and try not to worry?

With a lifelong experience in infertility and IVF, why I did not trust him? Why I spent time reading on the internet about what to eat and how to lead my life?

If I turn back the time, whould I change what I did? Probably not, because of the fear and guilt I would feel of not doing my best.

I have calmed down a little, and try to lead a normal life.

The most helpful for me was to find this online forum. I wish I knew about it sooner. The support and openness is tremendous.

Keep going ladies, whatever happens we have done our best! We are enough!

I will try to remember this next time when I am at my lowest...

Good. I was beholden to all the โ€œyou must - you mustnโ€™tsโ€ first time around. It didnโ€™t work & I still beat myself up thinking Iโ€™ve done something wrong. Lovely to hear a more relaxed view & a holiday is definitely in order. Iโ€™ve been through some shit in life & nothing has effected me personally as much as infertility & IVF. Have that glass of wine & have leave those socks off! ๐Ÿฅฐ enjoy x

What a good approach to have! I think we put so much pressure on ourselves sometimes. I hope you have a lovely holiday xx

In first attempt, I stressed so much about everything (pomegranate juice, warm feet, pineapple, acupuncture, etc), it didn't work!

Our last FET transfer, I did pretty much the opposite. I let it go, relaxed my outlook, trained (pretty hard), ran, had a glass of wine if I felt like it, drank the odd coffee, wasn't stringent with my diet, carried on exactly as per usual ... & I'm now 14 weeks (with twins).

Relax, have a fantastic holiday, live!

I think being relaxed and as stress-free as possible is the key.

Enjoy your holiday and do what makes you happy ๐Ÿ˜Š xx

The only times Iโ€™ve conceived with hubby ( have a son from previous relationship) was when I stopped beating myself up mentally & resigned myself to it not happening.I was lucky that I fell both times after I had my endometriosis surgically removed my 1st was a CP & the 2nd BFP was my 3 month old daughter- I carried on as normal & even had a glass of wine in the 2ww.

Iโ€™m so sorry for your losses itโ€™s incredibly painful & I admire your strength to keep going you are one brave lady I hope your determination & perseverance is rewarded with a beautiful baby of your own.

Have a lovely holiday let your hair down & come back refreshed ready to fight again ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป xxx

I love this. Iโ€™m away to do round 5 and Iโ€™ve done the pineapple pomegranate socks and literally everything suggested and itโ€™s not worked. Next time Iโ€™m just going to go with the flow xxx

Cannot agree more - Iโ€™m due for my FET in the next couple of weeks and Iโ€™m of the exact same thinking - none of the myths and what ifs .... just going to carry on and live life just as I am!

Enjoy your trip - much love x

You go girl! I never bothered with any special food or rituals for my FET. And have a fab time in Turkey!! When youโ€™re back it will be time for your little miracle embryo!! xxx

Honestly I think itโ€™s up to the embryo itself. If it wants to implant it will. I do think that some embryos do not survive the thawing process very well if frozen before. So good

Luck I think a big thing with ivf is just donโ€™t worry and stess just live your life.
