@PDream1980 - thank you, sorry to hear this cycle has been cancelled, I know how frustrating it is to delay things but you seem to have a plan ahead and getting more tough to this process. Have you done many rounds yet? I also have Endo which I think is the main cause of my fertility problems, although working out how to overcome it is not easy! I’m also considering donor egg before using up all my frosties as well for the best chance if this one doesn’t work…where are you thinking of going?
@RoseLondon - sorry your cycle has been cancelled too, but as you say hopefully your cycle won’t be messed up too much. I know how frustrating it is though. My current cycle was delayed by a few months as this clinic wanted to first create embryos with my frozen eggs and freeze them and only the start doing tests to prepare for FET and they wanted to screen for breast cancer which really delayed things as the clinic that did the mammogram advised me to get an ultrasound on the breast via the nhs, but they didn’t send the blooming images!!! Which meant nhs couldn’t discharge me and my fertility clinic refused to give the go ahead until the nhs breast clinic discharged me, which took a lot of phonecalls to try and get things moving…anyway we got there in the end but it was just another hurdle we didn’t need
@BridgetJones_uk, - thank you. Of course I’ll help as much as I can. I think you’re already doing quite a lot of the right things. Obviously no alcohol, caffeine. As I have Endo I’m on anti inflammatory diet too, so no gluten or dairy, no refined sugar, red meat only once a week, avoid BPA in plastic products much as you can, drink either filtered tap water or bottled water in glass bottles. Lots of veg, red, yellow, orange for the carotene and cruciferius veg (greens). My nutritionist said plate should be 50% veg, 30% protein and 20% complex carbs. Try eat organic where you can, but if something has a thick skin I.e. like a banana it’s probably less important. Supplements including probiotics, food that’s good for the gut like kefir. I can go on but you also don’t want to become too stressed about the whole thing either. After ET, the nurse told me this time no exercise other than walking, nutritionist advise is to eat warming food (like warm porridge, soup), keep back, tummy and feet warm. Although that probably won’t be a problem in this heat! And lots of fluid. No hot baths, sauna, swimming in chlorinated water etc… I can see you have your transfer coming up, all the very best of luck for that! X
@Ayian123 - best of luck with your upcoming transfer!
Sorry if I’ve missed anyone
AFM - day 2 of 2WW and mind is playing tricks on me already… my anxiety isn’t as bad as last time but it’s still a very difficult process to go through each time. I think the steroids do keep me up at night too Ugg
