Survey! Lifestyle/behavioral choices during FETs. PAIF/SAIF welcome!

pblge

Everything that I've done up until this point has been geared towards egg quality. Now that that's no longer relevant, I'm realizing that I don't have a good sense of what people do to optimize chances during FET cycles. I'd love to hear from people about their choices. I'm curious about:
a) Alcohol - Did you stop/reduce drinking, and, if so, when?
b) Caffeine - Ditto
c) Exercise
d) Any supplements
e) Other diet choices, including "magical" foods, like pineapple or red raspberry tea.
f) Anything else you did that was special.

Thanks in advance!

For my FETs,

A) No alchol during the cycle

No caffeine during the cycle

C) I stopped excercising after transfer

D) My RE has me take a priobiotic and a prebiotic

E) My RE has me stop all gluten and dairy about three weeks before the cycle starts.  It's really touch.

F) I can't think of anything other than what I listed above.

For our successful cycle--

A) no alcohol during my cycle before transfer, but if I remember correctly I did have a glass of wine during the 2ww.
limited caffeine to 1 cup of coffee a day, if anything at all.
C) no exercise for me. I do work on my feet tho waiting tables and the only thing I limited was lifting very heavy things. I was on my feet a lot tho.
D) prenatal throughout cycle and coq10 until transfer. My RE prescribed baby aspirin.
E)nope
F) nope! We honestly were not very optimistic.

I am currently in the 2WW for my first FET.

A) I stopped drinking (not much of a drinker anyway) a week or 2 before transfer. I was strict during my IVF to focus on egg quality

I drank tea, but nothing else that contained caffeine

C) I exercised until my transfer. I plan to walk until beta

D) just my prenatals and Vitamin D

E) per my acupuncturist, I eliminated gluten and dairy (and sugar during IVF) I may have slipped on the dairy a few times but continued being gluten free.

We were blessed that our FET worked the first time. I don't know if it had anything to do with what I did during the cycle or it was just luck. 

a) I don't really drink, but I did have a glass of moscato during the TWW since it was my birthday

b) I don't drink coffee and I rarely drink caffeinated beverages, but I did have a coke occasionally
c) I exercised frequently up until the transfer and then started walking/light exercise about 5 days after the transfer
d) just took my prenatal vitamin
e) nope 
f) when this process started I made the conscious decision to not let anything stress me out or to not let myself get worked up when something stressful happened. I work in a very stressful environment and I think that this definitely had something to do with our success, but who knows for sure.

PAIF response

 

For my sucessful FET cycle(it was the third, previous was fresh, then FET 1)

a) Alcohol - none atleast a monthly prior

b) Caffeine - I had chai latte a few times a weeek prior to FET, no caffiene after transfer

c) Exercise - RE encouraged 20 minute walks after transfer. I did that and have continued during preganancy.

d) Any supplements - none, I did accupunture morning of transfer

e) Other diet choices, including "magical" foods, like pineapple or red raspberry tea. - I did all of this in previous unsuccesful cycles. This time I ate what I wanted and enjoyed life.

f) Anything else you did that was special  - try not to stress about it.  It's hard. If you are spiritual try to put it in your higher powers hands.
