Here we go again ... FET!

[XOXO13]

My period arrived today.. a week late, as predicted it would following my first failed fresh IVF cycle.

Today I’ve started on progynova, which I take daily for two weeks before having a scan and starting progesterone.

I’m drinking red leaf tea each morning and having 3x Brazil nuts daily as well. I hear these are good for thickening the endometrium lining.

Does anyone have any other recommendations or tips to help with a medicated FET? Anything else I should consider in my diet or things to definitely avoid (other than alcohol?)

And if anyone else is going through this right now, then best of luck!! 🤞🏻

The timings are a little ironic - I conceived this time last year, and if my timings are right I’ll have my transfer around the time I found out I was pregnant with my baby I lost earlier in the year.

Here’s hoping this round is successful! 💫 xx

Best of luck with this new round. My consultant told me to get some extra Vit D but other than that, just try to relax and rest if you can. X

Thank you!! I’ve just been told to isolate now as well as my scan is booked - feel a mixture of nerves and excitement! Are you going through treatment now too? 💫✨ xx

Best of luck! I've just started my progynova for first FET, my scan is booked in for wed 6th. Already getting tired of Brazil nuts 😂x

Best of luck to you too 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh me too, I don’t enjoy the Brazil nuts! I quite like the red raspberry tea though. I’ve also just ordered pomegranate juice!

My scan is booked in for the 11th eek!

I hope it all goes well for you! 🤞🏻✨💫 if you’re scan is the 6th, assuming your transfer may be a week or so later then?! Not long! Xxx

Also drinking pomegranate juice but never heard of raspberry leaf tea? I think so yea if everything goes well at the scan then should be week after! Feels really quick but I'm ready to try again since fresh failed in November. Keep us posted I hope it all works well! X

Raspberry red leaf tea is also meant to thicken the endometrium line and as well as warm your uterus - so I’ve read anyway!

Eek that is exciting!!

And you too, fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx

Thanks it is on my shopping list for tomorrow! It is exciting but part of me is dreading it as just got in my head that it wont work again! Trying to stay positive!
