Embryo transfer can be a nerve-wracking step in the fertility treatment journey. Many of us wonder if there are specific things we can do to increase the chances of success during this critical process. Do you have personal tips or advice to share based on your experiences? Let’s discuss and support each other through this journey!
You have no control over the outcome of an embryo transfer, which can be disheartening and frightening. Make decisions that you are confident in and that you won’t regret. Remember, if it doesn’t succeed, it’s not your fault.
Research suggests that having sex before embryo transfer may improve implantation success, as well as laughter afterwards. My partner and I followed both recommendations, having intercourse the night before and watching funny videos post-transfer. I will be 11 weeks pregnant tomorrow.
It’s possible that those methods had little impact, as light exercise is generally more beneficial than bedrest. Ultimately, it may have just been a matter of luck!
I completed all the necessary tasks but still ended up with a failed transfer. It’s frustrating when things like this happen.
I believe in the power of holistic remedies, even though some may not have medical validity. For example, bromelain and beets both have potential benefits for blood flow. I’m willing to try anything for my first FET! Maybe I’m being optimistic, but I have faith in these methods.
