Prep for FET help please

Hi ladies

Slowly but surely coming out of the other side of my MMC πŸ˜₯ The best thing for me is to have a plan, we have a consultation in a months time to discuss next steps, which will be FET.

After 3 fresh cycles, I've never actually done a FET. So I'm doing my normal researching into everything πŸ˜‚

Looking on here you've all suggested, pomegranate juice, beetroot juice, raspberry leaf tea, nuts, hot water bottle, fluffy socks, yoga, vitamin e and l'arginine to help with lining.

How much in advance did you do these? When you start on the meds? With regards to vit e and l'arginine what dosage do you recommend and when do I take those?

Thank you xx

Hi - just to note that I think the recommendation is to avoid hot baths and hot water bottles as this isn't favourable to implantation. Waiting for my FET and all the best with yours πŸ’–

Just to let you know, I didn’t do any of those things. I cut down caffeine, stopped alcohol, and took pregnancare. Nothing else.

I’ve got a FET 5 year old and FET Baby 2 is coming out by c-section on Tuesday! (And I am 45.)

I understand totally the need for a plan and to feel in control, but don’t let it consume you. Success is usually down to the chromosomal quality of the embryo and/or womb lining, and very little you can do to influence either of those I’m afraid.

FET is much easier in terms of medication. What I had found that when I had cut back on excersize my linning grew thicker but whilst I was exercising in a previous cycle the lining didnt increase much. I also started drinking full fat milk too. Good luck with your FET cycle xx

I am in a similar situation 😊 never had FET done before. I had 2 fresh transfers in the past and both ended up in biochemical pregnancys. Last month I did ERA test so I had a mock cycle. This helped me understand how the process looks like when you are preparing for FET. My clinic prescribed 6mg of progynova but apparently wasn't enough so after 2 weeks I still had a very thin lining 5.9 when I should have had min 7mm. Now they asked me to start straightaway with 8mg a day. I think all these are more important than anything.

Don't stress much with all the vitamins. I would suggest a good intake of veg, fruits and whole milk is all we need.

We are transferring a PGS tested embryo + ERA test done. I have all the hopes in the world that this time will work πŸ˜‚πŸ˜

Best of luck 🀞β™₯️
