IVF & BFPs

Hi Ladies,

I am back for round two of ICSI!
We are due to start in June and figured it was time to start prepping my body as best I can.

I am willing to try ANYTHING this round, after the two disappointing attempts last year I figure we have nothing to lose!

So,my questions are;

What did you do to prepare your body for IVF/ICSI?
Vitaimins, accupunture etc?
Any special diets?
Anything you think made the difference between a BFN or BFP?

TIA ladies, so excited to see many of you now have your little ones you worked so hard for!

Hi Parki,

I too am starting round 2 in June, scary thought huh! Went into round 1 so full of hope and thinking this will be it, finally .... but no!

Anyway, I attempted my last transfer late last year which didn't survive unfort so since then I contacted a naturopath to try and get as heathly as possible.

She has been fantastic and picked up on some things that aren't normally tested for. I have really really low iron and zinc levels, so she is fixing those which can make quite a difference apparently. She also did a Hair Analysis test which showed some mineral defencies and has me on some more pills to try and fix this plus the normal fish oils, pre pregnanacy multi and LSA like what Kazper said above to try and balance hormones.

I did a 4 week detox to get rid of all the IVF drugs still floating around in my system and trying to lose 10kg to get to optimum weight.

Last week I started acupuncture, if you don't like needles I have heard that reflexogoly is also good and not so ouchy!

I'm like you, willing to try ANYTHING to get a sticky embie this time!

Good luck, wishing you all the very best!
