Hi Alisonjane,

I am in my 2 ww also. My accupuncturist said to eat fresh pineapple. Also my clinic said take it easy so that you don't raise your body temp/pulse too much. No swimming, sex, and baths. Also no caffeine, alcohol, or raw meat/fish. Are you taking progesterone and estrace?
No heavy lifting or too much housework. Good Luck!!!!!!!

I am on my 2ww as well, I had a FET last Thursday. I wasn't told anything in particular, just no sex and take it easy for a week, drink at least 1 liter of water a day, and that was basically it.
Do you guys have any symptoms??....cause I don't have any and I am freaking out here!!!

everything about the not eating and drinking especially caffiene as can cause miscarriage.
THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO EAT PINEAPPLE, I THOUGHT YOU ATE THIS LATE ON IN PREGNANCY TO BRING LABOUR ON!!!!
I ate and drank tons of the stuff. I could be wrong but I was always told pineapple was for the end, so I kind of think of it as the same way as caffiene in pregnancy, a little bit of a stimulant..... which we defo don't want.

Goodluck anyway

I am also in the 2WW. I was told to take it easy, drink plenty water to keep the body hydrated and get lots of rest, no heavy lifting, no sex, limited housework, not excersie expect moderate walking. Besides that I am on estrogen patches, PIO, estrace.

Vickky, you and I did the FET on the same date, I go in to test next Wednesday and besides feeling like AF is coming, I have no other symptoms. Hopefully that is normal.

I have heard that pineapple helps. Dont know if its an old wife's take, I eat quite a bit of pineapple prior to the FET. I have had some since the FET but not as much. I am eating it in moderation atleast.

Good luck everyone
FET on 4/26/07 BFN

Hi everybody,

I am in my 2WW as well. am still bed resting. My doc said not to move for 3 days. Otherswise i was just told not to much salty food and in general taking it easy. However i have light crampings in the tubes.
Did anybody else experience that?
I am really hoping that it is positive this time b/c they transfered 4 blastocyst.
An other question:is anybody else taking next to the handful of pills a blood thinner injection called heparin and in addition calcium.

I am really stressed out this time!!

Goodluck to all of you expecting the pregnancy test the next days.
:-( 4 failed IUI :-( 2 failed IVF

Hope not lost :-)

Curently in my WW.

I have my FET transfer on Friday. I just got off 48 hours bedrest and am taking it easy. I am just so nervous. I have had 2 failed IVF's and the Dr. said it was cuz my lining was not thick enough. He decided to do an FET to focus on the lining. I had a 10.5 on Friday, the thickest it has ever been but thats no garauntee. I am just so nervous, and do idea what to be feeling right now. I am having slight cramping but it seems like that is what is to be expected. I am a 27 and they transfered 3 blasts. What do I do to make the next week go by???

I just had my first FET on May 4, 2007 following my first ever IVF. I had a chemical from the first IVF. I'm am trying to hang in there on the 2ww. This is my first posted message-figured I can't go at it alone this time.

I was on bedrest for 2 1/2 days (Doc recommended 3-but had to work this past monday).

Like most of you I am drinking lots of water, but I'm craving a lot of beef for some reason. I've been eating beets-lots of folic acid and great for fertility-you may get pink urine but it won't hurt you.

Good luck to all of you-Hope to hear about your BFP's soon.

I had 3 transferred both times.
