Hiya.. so going in for FET tomorrow.. I like to try as many as the old wives tales and tips as I can basically because it helps keep me occupied

So pineapple core.. mcdonalds chips after transfer... Diet to mimic that of pregnancy... What else have you guys heard/tried?

Hey lovely - masses of luck!

I always drink pomegranate juice for 5 days (small glass) and have handful of Brazil nuts.

I always take the day of transfer and the next day really easy and lie around and dont do a lot and then get back to normal

And I Mindful IVF app every day!

You can do this! xx

Hi aamiller. Just wanted to wish you well for tomorrow. One of the in things at the moment is pineapple core. It is supposed to help as an anti-clotting agent, so helping to prevent clots forming in the womb lining and aid blood flow. You can buy slices in supermarkets with the core attached. I will be thinking of you, and have a good rest afterwards. Diane

I read that having sex the night before your transfer is a good idea because the presence of semen helps encourage implantation - can't hurt!

[aamiller405 in reply to LCharlton]

Thanks..worth a shot lol x

[DD2021]

Have your bladder full but enough that you can hold 10-15 after the transfer. Mine was too full and i stressed out alot x best of luck x

[aamiller405 in reply to DD2021]

Thank you x

[Mara84]

Good luck, I was reading today after the transfer we should avoid fizzy drinks and gassy foods as it can upset our stomach and we want to avoid stomach cramps and contractions as they may negatively affect embryo implantation. xx

[aamiller405 in reply to Mara84]

Ohh interesting thank you ill remember that x
