Tips for a successful FET?

Hello Dr Potter,

I was wondering if there is anything you would recommend to increase ones chances of success with a FET?

Thank you in advance.

I would eat a good balanced diet. I would try to avoid processed foods. I would take a good pre-natal vit and DHA. I would get 7-8 hours of sleep per night. I would consume alcohol only in moderation. I would get daily, moderate exercise for a minimum of 1 hour per day. I would make sure that my uterine cavity is normal via SHG or offfice hysteroscopy. I would consider adding prog-in-oil to the vaginal regimen. I would consider pre- and post-transfer accupuncture in the transfer room. In short, being happy, healthy, focused and relaxed. Follow directions. Do not try to dictate your treatment plan. Let go and be a passenger for a little bit.

Thank you so much, Dr P! I am doing all those things so I am happy with that.

LOL--all of us A-type personalities have a hard time being the passenger! :-)

Bump - still good advice

thanks for that Ocean but ummm, what does this mean??:

'prog-in-oil to the vaginal regimen'

Progesterone in oil.

I bumped the thread but doesn't mean I can translate it all. :)

This was part of my FET regimen at a diff clinic but don't know how it helps

Maybe others will

I don't know what is prog-in-oil either. Is it different from Crinone?
And referring to acupuncture, is it recommended even if you haven't received acupuncture before?
Thanks

Progesterone in oil is an injection instead of vaginal suppository. PIO for short. I used it with my FET. It's an injection to your backside.

Yes, I would do acupuncture before and after the FET.
