IVF Advice for a first-timer!

Hey! I’m an IVF mum and about to start a FET cycle for baby number 2! I highly recommend the book ‘It a starts with the egg’ for helping to prepare your body - 99% sure this is what helped us create good quality eggs and embryos! One thing that did help me is I have a fertility insta which helped me connect with people going through the same - invaluable in terms of support and advice! Otherwise just be kind to yourself, it’s a lot so you need to gibe yourself grace to feel whatever you need to feel 🥰

It’s not about the quantity but rather the quality, don’t fixate on numbers or compare to Others. Never be hard on yourself. Give yourself kindness & grace. Make sure you get high quality prenatals and vitamins. Remember that sperm is just as is important so if you have a male partner make sure he eats clean too and takes his supplements. Q10, vintamin C, Omegas, vitamin D and prenatals are proven to be effective as well as melatonin for egg quality ( check with doctor ) Have a system for your meds and needles some people use a tool box , fishing box I got a mini wicker double draws from Amazon. Little ice pack helps starting out with the injections to numb the area before but in no time you will just be sticking it in 😂 It’s a journey not a race. Keep hope. 🍀🥰🙏 Welcome to the Warrior Club May the odds be in your favor 😂 💓

I have gotten pregnant 4 times with each transfer. My advice don’t stress and don’t overthink. Easier said than done but try your best. Also stay off the internet and this advice I never took so k had all sorts of theories. Baby dust to you.

Don’t tell everyone you are doing it, I loved it being a private thing between my husband and my best friend. Our family still don’t know and we have now 2 ivf babies :) I didn’t want the pity if it didn’t work nor the constant checking in during the process from people who of course cared, but really didn’t get it

@Francesca this is great advice . I only used to tell strangers 😂 or people I wasn’t that close to. I learnt my lesson as to how insensitive people can be that will just never get it .
