Good bacteria for your womb

[Anoncasper]

Hey everyone 🖐️

I had a failed FET just last month, my second failed transfer, and I was wondering how many of you had taken good bacterial suppliments to help with implantation and which ones?

Ive read a lot about how it is good for your womb and helps with implantation but wasnt sure.

Any help/info would be great! xx

I took both oral (Lactoflor) and vaginal probiotics (Floragyn). Good luck!

[Anoncasper in reply to Eloquentia]

Thank you Eloquentia. How often did you take the oral and vaginal probiotics? Xx

[Eloquentia in reply to Anoncasper]

I took the oral probiotics for a month before the FET. The vaginal ones were a 6-day course.

[Anoncasper in reply to Eloquentia]

This helps a lot! Thank you so much xx

Hi there, I hope you don't mind my asking but we're the floragyn before a fet? If so did you take them just before the transfer or earlier? Wondering if I can take them alongside the progesterone suppositories!! Many thanks for any advice!

[Eloquentia in reply to Georgina81]

Hi! I took them a couple of weeks before the FET but my IVF clinic did say that generally, I could take probiotics if needed after too alongside the progesterone.

[Georgina81 in reply to Eloquentia]

Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply xx

I took vaginal probiotics this time (canseflor) plus antibiotics from the clinic. It worked this time but who knows if that was the secret formula?!

Good luck to you xx

[Anoncasper in reply to Pebbles345]

thank you Pebbles45. I’ll have a chat with my consultant and see that they say about the antibiotics xx

[Roobs33]

I took Canesflor as recommended by my clinic. x

[Anoncasper in reply to Roobs33]

Thanks you Roobs33 xx

[Newbies1]

I also took canesflor good luck x

[Anoncasper in reply to Newbies1]

Canesflor seems to be a popular reply. Thank you Newbies1. Did you use this within a certain timeframe before your transfer? Xx

[Simmokt]

Clindamyacin then Canesflor

[Anoncasper in reply to Simmokt]

Thank you Simmokt. Did your consultant provide the antibiotics? Xx

[Simmokt in reply to Anoncasper]

Yes - I had treatment with metronidazole which didn't work, then clindamyacin which seems to have done (I'm in the 2ww, so fingers crossed). The clinic prescribed both.

[Anoncasper in reply to Simmokt]

Oh I see. That’s so exciting that you are in your 2WW just now! How are you feeling! X

[Simmokt in reply to Anoncasper]

Quite nervous. And pretty queasy which I think is all the progesterone. But not too bad. The waiting isn't much fun!

[Anoncasper in reply to Simmokt]

Aww it never is 🥰. I have everything crossed for you and sending you lots of luck 🍀🍀🍀 xxx

[Simmokt in reply to Anoncasper]

You too xxx

I used liquid probiotics by Holland and Barrett; the gold one. My embie stuck with that transfer and is laying next to me so I’ll be doing the same again for my next transfer. Best of luck x

[Anoncasper in reply to LifetoCherish]

Amazing! Thank you xxx

[LifetoCherish]

ps I also used the canestan pessary as read some positive studies for FET’s using that one week before transfer. I’ve suffer with thrush on/off my whole life so knew I was imbalanced down there x

[Anoncasper in reply to LifetoCherish]

Noted! I’ll probably do this too. Thank you xxx

[Georgina81 in reply to LifetoCherish]

Please may I ask if you took the canesflor alongside your progesterone suppositories for a fet? If so how many days before? Thank you for any advice!

[LifetoCherish in reply to Georgina81]

I hadn't heard about Canesflor when I did it and the studies I found specifically said Canesten Pessary so I just went with that. I hadn't heard of Canesflor until reading on here this year about it, so I think it might be a new thing/product.

I used the pessary 7 days before the FET as per the studies online. A good old google should help you find them. Best of luck x

[Georgina81 in reply to LifetoCherish]

Thank you so much for your reply, appreciate it!! Xx

[StarsAllAround]

Have you tried an endometrial scratch? Might be worth asking your consultant if it could help x

[Anoncasper]

I’m having my treatment on the NHS and don’t think they offer that xx

[Sandydaiz]

Hi Anoncasper, after multiple failed transfers, I added it in and the embryos stuck. Did the same this time. My consultant said it would do no harm. I used Canesflor too. Used it for 8 days up to the night of my trigger injections. I'm only on day 1 after egg collection now. My previous cycle, I used it past egg collection.

[Anoncasper in reply to Sandydaiz]

Hello Sandydaiz, thank you for your reply. I hope you are feeling ok after your egg collection.

Amazing news that it worked last time round! Fingers crossed it does again this time too xxx Sending lots of luck 🍀 xx

I’m taking optibac for women as read good reviews… I’ve also opted to try the embryo glue.

[Anoncasper in reply to HoneyB11]

Hi HoneyB11, thank you for your reply. What’s embryo glue? X

[TexasRose210]

yes, I used probiotics prior to my FET. I think it helps
