Wowza!!  What a great report...Congrats!  Have any advice for me?

Haha, CC asked me the same thing earlier today.

Honestly, I didn't do anything special. I just kept my stress as low as possible and took care of my body and my spirit this time. But I don't know if that had an impact on our embryos. I just think it helped me be much calmer while cycling.

I wish there was some magic series of things I did that I can say would help. I honestly think that (so far) I have been extremely blessed. I guess we'll see what happens on Saturday.

Things that I think positively affected this cycle though are having taken a cycling break and given my body a chance to detox from the last year of meds and really living life like normal (as opposed to in the bubble of cycling).

Good luck to you. I hope your cycle is blessed as well.

Thanks.  One of the reasons we took two months off and waited until after Italy to even have a consult was for the exact reasons you said.  Good luck with transfer.  I look forward to comiserating with you on 1st tri! (This is me being positive!)
