Tips Between Egg Collection & Transfer

[Rubyr3d]

Hi everyone, I had my egg collection on Thursday and we’ve got 5 fertilised. All being well, transfer should be Tuesday.

I’m just wondering if there’s any tips, diet, supplements, activities I should be doing between now and Tuesday? I’ve read so much but now I’m here, I can’t remember half of it. I’m taking a multivitamin which includes Folic Acid, Omega 3, Vit D, Vit E and CoQ10. Should I carry on? When should I stop any of these? Obviously, I’ll continue with multivitamin but anything else?

What about diet? I’m avoiding alcohol and caffeine & eating as healthy as I can but I’m not perfect. Anything I should add?

I’m up for trying anything.

Many thanks x

Hi Rubyr3d, sounds like you have it covered. Keep with the multivitamin & stick with the healthy eating. It’s easy to get caught up in all the strange and unusual suggestions but I’m a believer in balanced healthy eating ( treats included) and a bit of light excercise to keep me sane. As with you I cut out caffeine & alcohol but not the occasional sweet treat. X Good luck with the transfer.

Hey lovely, just keep up with your vitamins and (easier said than done) but just try and relax and remain calm. Wishing you all the best x

HiI would continue to take folic acid and vitamin D as these are the main two recommended in pregnancy. I personally kept on taking everything until test day in case I needed to do another cycle. If positive, drop the Coq10 and vitamin E , others are fine to take. Make sure multivitamin doesn't have vitamin A in it.

Focus on a balanced diet, good hydration and small regular meals to reduce any bloating and gentle exercise. I was also I told use a hot water bottle and paracetamol for pain relief if needed. No heat on abdomen after transfer though. Good luck next week x
