TTC for 12 months +

Storm - Hi, sorry to see you're still in here. I was successful with my fresh, so don't overthink it (funny for me to say that who goes through 50 different emotions and thoughts in the space of a second)
I have just had a FET, so fingers crossed it works

Sorry can't remember who asked, but my test is on Sunday

BC - Glad your injections are going well, it's exciting going through treatment and scary and emotional and trying ha ha

My understanding was you could just continue your normal routine as long as it's comfortable....last cycle I had yo stop exercising a few days before EC and didn't start back til a few days after transfer. I'm not entirely sure about the increased body temp as it seems to me that exercise increases that anyway.

Yaye Kiwi, that's great! Congrats on being PUPO fingers crossed for you!

BC - They say as long as you are not working up a big sweat and puffing, so not too strenuous then you should be fine. I do a 30 minute walk on the treadmill but have pegged it back to a light walk to be on the safe side, it's only for 2 weeks after all

Kiwigirl - Yay for transfer best of luck

Hi ladies

I feel like I need to confess it's been 6+ months since I last posted. Sorry for all that are still here and good luck Kiwigirl.

Re. Exercise and keeping body temp and puffing etc. down, do you think this should happen before egg collection or once implanted?

Thanks everyone! I was told keep doing everything like normal but also remember you could be pregnant. The last time the nurse said exercise etc is all good just dont up the level. She also said that the only thing they know for sure is your embies dont like a raise in core body temparture so no intense cardio, spa baths etc.. Hope that helps!

Hmm I guess walks instead of runs might be best.

Hi BC, I'm good thanks have enjoyed a infertility thinking break for last 6 months until the phone call I received this afternoon to say I'm booked in for funded IVF in Feb. I hadn't heard a thing so had kind of thought it wasn't going to be until later next year so it's back to decaf coffee, elevit etc.

Any thoughts on whether it's ok/worth while taking supplements like royal jelly, Maca root tables, CO-CQ10 during IVF or before starting IVF meds and for how long prior?

Hi Ladies,

Just popping in to say hi and I keep reading the posts to see how everyone is doing.

BC on the exercise front I would say cut back to light walking only. I know they say if you are a regular exerciser then it is fine to carry on but I was an exercise freak and this last round (#5) I decided enough is enough I need to do everything possible to make this work so only did light walking and I truly think it paid off. I just wanted to give you my thoughts since I know this is your last round. Good luck with it all!

Good luck kiwi and Mrs I. Good luck to those preparing for their FET's soon.

I'm 14 weeks on Friday and everything seems to be going ok. Had our 12 week scan last week and results came back all good. Such a relief but I'm nervous all the time thinking something is wrong!

Always thinking of you all XX

Hey, just wanted to say good luck Mrs I, that will be us next year (have only one embie frozen too) and BC, I have a million things crossed for you. A million.

Nik wow can't believe you are 14 weeks already! Glad to hear everything is going well.

Tulip welcome back from your break! Sometimes the breaks are def good for us! I'm with BC on how super fast Feb will be here! Great it's coming up earlier for you.

I feel like AF is on her way, so she may be showing earlier than expected (Sunday) perhaps due to the scratch? In the 4+ years of trying I don't think I've been as excited for her to show as I have been the last few months!

Sorry Craftea - I'm at work and had my window open too long LOL I'm slack and haven't yet had the time to chase that up! But will do now I think :)
