  I usually start to cut out caffeine during stims (only because I have a hard time giving it up).  Also according to my clinic no strenuous exercise and no sex.  I think stims is about the time I add my folic acid supplement, but it's prescribed by my doc so I just go by whatever my calendar says.

  

   

  

  TTC #1 since August 2011

  My Blog

  September 2012: Start IF testing

  DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA  Me (32): Slightly low progesterone, hostile CM, carrier for CF, Moderately high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA

  October 2012-May 2014: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed FETw/donor embryos

  November 2014: IVF w/ICSI #4 Agonist/Antagonist with EPP and Prednisone, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, and IVIG for immune issues.  Converted to freeze all due to lining issues.  2 blasts frozen on day 6!

  I don't drink caffeine or alcohol and pretty much just stick to water...super boring. I drink hot caffeine free tea at night to relax sometimes though. I don't do any strenuous exercising because you can twist your ovaries because of the weight of them. I do high protein and veggies, low carb because it's supposed to help egg quality. ..who the hell really knows though. Folic acid, prenatal vitamins and CoQ10 as well as acupuncture....ummm I think that's it haha. Goodluck with everything!!

  2013- 2 IVF cycles with PGD to prevent genetic disorder from being passed on. Both BFFN

  2/2014 pregnant!  EDD 10/17/2014

  I would make sure to eat a lot of fiber to keep things moving. Once you do the ER those things get... difficult? I also did a lot of slow walking just to keep active since I used to run before IF meds. Good luck to you!
