Hello OP! Are you using yours or donor eggs? I had IVF with donor eggs, but I think the procedures are pretty the same. I believe success depends on woman as well. The carrying mom needs a strong uterus and overall physique. To prepare I took and am taking prenatal vitamins and eating mostly whole foods. I’m also more careful with my sugar intake. I just cut back on sugar, and actually didn't miss it much as I was doing it for baby. Try to get at least 8 hours sleep, drink water, and walk for exercise, basically a pregnancy diet. The iron is especially important for the uterus and your increased blood production during pregnancy. The IVF clinic will make sure you have all you need as they will also watch your cycle to be sure to put in embryos at the proper time. The shots and pills before your transfer are really not that bad, you just have to keep in mind what for you are doing it. Enjoy every bit of your journey! I wish you all the best with your upcoming procedure.
