As the person who started this thread I’m so grateful for your willingness to share as I am a first timer with IVF.
Wanted to share that my beta test was confirmed POSITIVE today! Praise the Lord! I’m going for my first ultrasound next week, hoping for a healthy pregnancy!
Here are some things I did before and during the TWW. I know every person is different but hopefully this may be useful:
1. I did weekly acupuncture for 2 months right until before ET. I did not take any herbal supplements, only folic acid, as my acupuncturist says western and herbal medicine may have unknown interactions.
2. I swam every other day for 20 min right until ER. Had to stop once I started using the crinone gel. After that I just did my morning yoga.
3. I ate salmon/ sardines at least two times a week. Stayed away from refined sugars and carbs. Also ate a lot of dark leafy greens like kale and spinach.
4. After both ER and ET I stayed home for 2 days only and then went back to work. But I came early and left on time. Avoided stress at all costs.
5. Prayed and prayed like crazy!!!!
Sending out so much love and baby dust to everyone here!
Congratulation !! December baby yea ?
