Do’s and dont’s after a FET when you have a toddler

My son is 14 months old and he is an IVF baby who I fell pregnant with on the first FET. I was on my own when I had the FET to get pregnant with him as my husband was away for work and I obviously didn’t have another child so I could just rest and not do too much. However, tomorrow I am having a FET for a second child and I can’t stop having so many doubts that it is just going to fail because I won’t be able to rest as much if at all this time. Any advice for do’s and dont’s? I am little excited but I feel like I don’t have much faith it’s going to work. I would really appreciate any success stories. Thank you so much!

I have a toddler and have to do most of the childcare as my husband works long hours and is up early, so I had no rest and was always picking her up. I’m now 12 weeks. Embryos are resilient things. And resting / not resting really won’t change the outcome so don’t beat yourself up.

I have an almost 15 month old and our FET has worked, I’m currently 6 weeks. I’ve had no rest just carried on as normal with an energetic toddler 😂. Good luck, try to stay positive x

10 weeks with an 18 mo years old. I took 4 transfers for my first where I had all the rest! Didn’t really have any down time except the first couple hours after the transfer and it worked the first time! It’s nice to pamper yourself a little so see if your husband can take your toddler out for a few hours so you can rest after. But this is just because it’s nice not because j think it will make a difference!

Following as in the same boat! I have an 18 month old and having another FET this month. I’m so worried about being shattered all the time, being a mama and working but have just told myself to take one day at a time. Good luck and here if you need to talk! X

My husband travels for work a lot so that wasn’t an option and it was successful. Most clinics are moving away from recommending rest the last couple of years.

I am a solo mom who works full time on a very stressful job and did my last transfer with a 2 year old. My baby is now 5 months. You can do this mama we are more resilient than we think and resting is not such a big deal. Most importantly rest your mind and avoid stressing about the transfer. Good luck to you.
