I have been reading posts over the last weeks but this the first one I’m doing myself.
I will most likely have my transfer day on Saturday. Is there anything I can do / or should not do till then? Any food that is good any advice at all. Anything I can do the days after transfer?
I’m very nervous, I don’t know what to expect.
We have 4 embryos (out of 6) and I am really pleased with this result after finding out my extremely low AMH.
But I don’t want to get my hopes up too much, just in case.
Thanks for listening
Most of the time I feel very alone with all my emotions, but reading everyone’s experiences on this site really helps me. Xx

Wishing you all the best for your transfer on Saturday, drink lots of water, keep warm and rest, and I tried the myth of McDonald’s fries after transfer - worth a try! This forum is such a great place for support and realising you are not alone xx
Great news about your upcoming ET and as it’s our first child and first round of IVF ICSI, I too had all the concerns and questions you mentioned 12 days ago before our BFP and FET.
Before your transfer:
As I’m sure you’re already doing, ensure you are now on a pregnancy supplement like pregnacare or Seven Seas pregnancy plus which ensures you get folic acid and all you need. I use seven seas as told by friends that it doesn’t give morning sickness, whereas pregnacare does apparently, so I’m sticking to seven seas!
Eat lots of fruit & veg - spinach, carrots etc, salmon, fish ( no shark, sushi or raw adventurous fish) chicken, some beef if a meat eater, lentils, wholemeal seeded bread, fruits, oats porridge, homemade healthy soups to prepare your uterus for your ET and implantation. Importantly to ensure oxygen and blood constantly flows through and flushes your body and your uterus, drink the recommended 2-3 litres of water a day to keep things healthy. I saw a huge difference when I did this and will ensure that throughout my pregnancy too.
On the day your doctor may advise you have a full bladder which is best so they can have a clear view of your uterus. I will say my FET procedure went so smoothly and fast that I kept asking ‘ have you done everything’, are you sure.
The two week wait was awful, wish I could say different as I kept worrying about what I was eating, every small twinge, no pregnancy symptoms on most days, and google researching does not help if you overdo it! I had to stop as was stressing out.
If I can advise - just eat completely healthily, no excessive over seasoning of foods, cut out tumeric and cumin completely as can be harmful in large quantities, drink LOTS of water,no tea coffee, delicious smoothies, I had a slice of lemon or fresh ginger in hot water, rest a lot BUT also gently exercise for at least 30 mins a day to get your blood moving and oxygen flowing through, I felt the difference when I did and then Let God do His perfect work!
On the day, remember to film it, or take a photo of the ET process, it is quite amazing. If they don’t allow to video, they will give you a photo scan too.
After the ET, I ate the same as above, I did read that have one slice of pineapple core a day helps with implantation during the two week wait. So I did this but can’t say whether that’s what made it work for me. However, we are so ecstatic to get our BFP 12 days ago and after our 5 week scan Tuesday gone, it’s confirmed that Im already 6 weeks pregnant today which is a shock! Still a long way to go with the 7 week and 12 week scans to come to rule things out but we’re trusting God throughout. I would advise anyone to go straight to the NHS website instead as it’s brilliant, professional step by step pregnancy advice. This our just my pointers, do hope it’s helped and I’m hoping yours will be a wonderful success too. 🙏🏽
That's great result!Try to have lots of good protein and avocados. Try to take it easy before and after your transfer. Best of luck with your transfer. I had mine done last Friday!
Thanks, I have been having mild cramps and had had spotting today! I am a bit worried and my clinic asked me to monitor my situation. Best of luck to you!
