What’s the best “diet” for IVF?īefore and during an IVF cycle, research points to the Mediterranean diet as your best bet. Instead, here’s what research has to say about what to eat before, during and after IVF, as well as what foods to avoid. Then add estrogen then PIO shots.Did you know that what you eat leading up to and during an IVF cycle can impact its success? And spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with pineapple. For my daughter I was on it 2-3 weeks and with my last transfer 3-4 weeks. I start my protocol with birth control and then add Lupron. Hoping it was the missing piece from last time but I guess we will never know. My doctor said at the time she didnt feel it was necessary but has now put me back on it. I was on Metformin with the transfer of my daughter but not for FET number 2 even though I asked- so frustrating. I have been back on Metformin since my miscarriage. Only thing is my ovaries are enlarged, lots of cysts (my PCOS is pretty severe and Ive had alot of ovarian pain recently). I am looking at an end of May or beginning of June transfer.ģ5 PCOS, thyroid issues and I suspect endometriosis July 2019- egg retrival- 4 PGS normal embryos November 2019- FET number 1- my 20 month old daughter :) November 2021- FET number 2- miscarriage at 6 weeksĭid some testing in February. My FET protocols tend to between 6 to 8 weeks. I guess we’ll be going through it together! So hopefully that will make it easier! I’m definitely nervous for the IM injections since I haven’t done those yet! I will have to start the estrogen injections on 4/18…I was hoping those would be SQ so I would have more time to mentally prepare myself for the IM injections □ I really freaked myself out about them last time and then ended up not having to do them since the transfer got cancelled! And she wants me to take Mucinex 2x daily with the estrace as well. ![]() Estrace 2 mg 2x orally plus IM estradiol valerate (delestrogen) 2x weekly. My doctor thinks the vaginal estrogen was what caused the fluid, so she changed up the estrogen dosing for this time. Estrace 2 mg 3x oral + 1x vaginally at night. My protocol for Jan FET was Lupron 15 units for 10 days (also overlapped with BC for about 4 or 5 days at the beginning), then bumped down to 10 units for 16 days when I started estrace. That’s crazy that there can be such a difference with the Provera! My protocol is getting changed up a bit from last time, and I’m really hopeful this is it!! ![]() Finally got my period yesterday and everything is finally back to normal and I was able to schedule □. Since then it has just been a bunch of hiccups preventing us from scheduling another transfer - took Provera to induce period after stopping FET meds, got period but estrogen was elevated, ovulated 2 weeks late. ![]() We were supposed to have an FET at the end of January, but when I went to the US appt a week before I had fluid in my lining (everything else looked good) and we decided to cancel □. We ended up with 2 normal embryos (both girls…found out on accident □). All the tests we got were mostly normal (TSH was on the higher side, but is no under control, and AMH was low for my age - 0.74 at 31). We decided to get help from fertility specialists last March. My husband and I have been TTC since February 2019 and have gone through 5 losses. I am booked for FET on 5/9/22 and looking for other ladies also having May FETs □.
