Before my FET i got acupuncture. Not sure if it helped but it stuck.

My experience between failed transfers and successful- make sure to eat warm foods, soups to keep the womb warm, 20-30 min slow walks after 2-3 days post transfer and lastly sleep on left side. Increases blood flow to uterus. Not sure if all this works but these were the differences between successful and failed transfers.

Ok. Will do slow walks after my second transfer! Hard to have warm foods when the team does catering sandwiches when traveling, but will try to do it as much as I can

I had 3 transfers and my last was the successful one. The things I did differently were taking a Valium before the procedure, taking a long nap afterwards but walked daily afterwards, was on baby aspirin, steroids before transfer, prednisone 2 days after transfer :) good luck!!!!!

I requested that my FTE be scheduled for a Thursday and then took off Friday & Monday. It allowed my body time to relax and let the transfer process take place without stress.

Came here to say the same about acupuncture. My third round worked and it’s the round I did acupuncture. Make sure you go to an acupuncturist that specializes in fertility issues. With two weeks, I’d suggest doing one or two sessions before your transfer. I believe whatever the acupuncturist did with my sessions helped increase blood flow to the uterus. Goodluck and sticky vibes your way!!

I also had success with acupuncture. There's a "transfer diet" floating around that involves pineapple core or bromelain supplements, Brazil nuts, pomegranate juice and other stuff, but choose your own adventure!

Acupuncture but if you haven’t done it before I’d recommend trying it once before transfer day do decrease any anxiety from doing something new on a day that anxiety may already be high. I did it before and after transfer (same day). Is that the reason my transfer worked? Who knows but it helped me mentally

You are enough.


So many of us are struggling with constant peer pressures, family obligations, corporate demands and we always keep doubting our effort.

Remember, you are enough. You don't need constant validation from anyone. You are doing the best you can. And that is all that matters.

Sending you positive thoughts to a new week!

Had my first egg retrieval a few weeks ago. Still trying to comprehend what happened. All my ultrasounds and blood work came back perfect. In the end, I had 30 follicles and they were only able to retrieve 3 eggs. Our embryologist said my egg quality was very poor and one had been dead for a long time. None of my tests ever indicated any issues. I have tested my egg reserve twice and everything came back normal. Any thoughts/advice? I’m really at a loss for words.
