Am about to start stimming and feeling very disorganised this time WRT best things to eat, drink, do to potentially help treatment along.

Am doing acupuncture, drinking the odd peppermint tea - but not really enjoying it and have cut out caffeine... Sob!

Food wise, I seem to remember protein is good - eggs, chicken; plus a couple of brazil nuts, almonds and walnuts per day? And also avocado? I haven't been great in including the above but am trying to get organised now.

Has anyone got any tips / suggestions please to save me from drowning in Google and old wives tales? Thanks!

My first three cycles I did all that, all unsuccessful. My 4 th cycle I didn't bother with any of it carried on drinking etc etc and was successful,although I also had changed clinic and treatment. There is very little clinical evidence that those things make a difference but if it makes you feel better then go for it.
Good luck

Heels, I'm really glad you've said this - and hugest congratulations too - it must have been so hard having 3 failed cycles Flowers

I think because we were successful last time, I wanted to repeat absolutely everything, but the reality is I just don't have time or inclination really in the position I'm currently in. I won't worry too much then at my reluctance to sip herby tea or eat avocados like apples Grin
