My ...I'm sorry your last transfer was so rocky. My doctor said something that really hit me over the head like wow….he said that IVF success has everything to do with transferring a normal embryo into a hormonally perfect uterus. Nothing else you do is going to make a difference…transfer of abnormal embryo = BFN or miscarriage. Transfer normal embryo = success. Now it sounds too simple right? I don't know. I did the pineapple and acu…and I honestly believe I'd be pregnant without them. In fact, I couldn't get the whole pineapple so I just had juice and my acu wasn't relaxing so i cut it short. This very longwinded comment is just to say that I am starting to believe maybe he's right. Wouldn't it be nice if he was…that means none of this is in our hands. It will either work or not regardless of what we do.

Maybe have some good movies to watch on the couch while you eat your pineapple? :) I know you don't need anymore advice (everyone offers SO MUCH ADVICE when you are TTC), but I think attitude/emotions can have such a huge impact on all parts of our lives, not just fertility. And I am always looking for more ways to relax. :)Natalie | Mrs. Janney |https://www.blogger.com/profile/18312142177721655450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946060129077736446.post-67524016246698053202014-07-31T21:58:08.023-05:002014-07-31T21:58:08.023-05:00Not silly at ALL!

They also recommended not making any adjustments to diet, exercise or supplements close to the transfer so your body is "stabilized" I tried all kinds of crazy things because you never know, right?! Can't hurt! :) Amanda Raymorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11079935078516946110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946060129077736446.post-24124836032851831812014-07-31T18:10:37.592-05:002014-07-31T18:10:37.592-05:00I totally did the pineapple core and acupuncture f...I totally did the pineapple core and acupuncture for my first FET and it worked!!

With my IVF I didn't eat pineapple, do strict bedrest, or watch funny movies. My diet was alright and I walked a mile or two every day (when the meds weren't kickin my but!). With the FET I did eat the 5 pieces of pineapple core starting on the day of transfer, I had three days of rather strict bedrest, and we watched several funny movies and TV shows. If I ever do IVF/FET again, I"ll definitely do the same thing since it worked once before.

Not sure if you're even allowed to take any supplements with everything going on but it is suppose to improve the health of the uterine lining. Thought it was appropriate to mention. I definitely believe it positive vibes, hoping Joe's presence alone is enough to secure this embryo!!!!

I definitely think you need to rest and relax more this time around! Just take those 2 days to be completely pampered and waited on hand and foot! :) Let me know how you like acupuncture! I've totally thought about getting it done before. Good luck!!<br /><br /><3, Pamela<br />sequinsandseabreezes.blogspot.comPamela {Sequins and Sea Breezes}https://www.blogger.com/profile/08829082153099910558noreply@blogger.com
