I was always looking and researching for things to do when I did IVF...so I thought I would share what I did different between IVF 1 which was a BFN and IVF 2 which was a BFP........
the first time I didnt do any bedrest after transfer, I did 2 days this time
I did accupunture an hour before my transfer, that was it just the one time
I ate pineapple like crazy after my transfer (with the core) I also ate turkey and drank grape juice
I did a 5 day transfer with embryo glue, first time was a 3 day transfer without glue (also did ICIS the second time and not the first)
NOt sure what made the difference or if anything made a difference, but the things I did wouldnt hurt ethier way so thought I was just pass it along....
Re: If interested..what I did different for IVF 1 and IVF 2.....IVF 2 = positive!

SAIF & PAIF Always Welcome
I have been over on the pregnancy boards, didnt know about this place until I got pregnant. wish I would have, its so nice to have support of people that are going through the same thing as you are......
embryo glue is something my doctor put on the outside of the 2 embryos that we transfered and I guess it gives you like almost a 30% more of chance of them sticking where they need to stick......or with him I think he had a 30% better success rate when using the glue, its was like $300 more I think
hmmmmm interesting. FWIW, SAIF is probably a better place for you, although I am sure you stopped by with nothing but kindness in mind, that is where we head when we want advice and hope.
Congrats on the pregnancy.

I think you got conned out of $300. Embryos don't "stick" (even though that's what we say around here), they implant. No amount of glue is gonna help.
4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!
sFET 11/9/11 - Beta 11/18 BFP!
Embryo Glue is a brand name for a specific brand of transfer medium...

Not sure if there is any peer reviewed data supporting the claim though. Glad it worked for you!
