IVF Transfer Anxiety

Just need some advice, slapping or a large drink…I’m not sure which?!?

I’m less than 2 weeks away from an embryo transfer for my 4th round of IVF (the 3rd resulted in my son).

I’ve tried SO hard to be good with eating, drinking plenty but feel like I come up against it with my anxiety. Was so worried my whole pregnancy with my son…

Today I’ve gone for lunch with my Mum and son and, in my mums home and I could smell something really strong. Turns out she had cleaned her house with neat dettol, she had washed her hands but the smell was still there. The smell was overwhelming and I was there nearly 2 hours

Have I jeopardised my next transfer? I’ve read so much about endocrine disruptions and I’ve worked hard not to put anything disruptive on or in my body….
Does anyone have any advice?

Nope you have not jeopardised anything!!!! (And this is coming from someone who had a transfer a month ago and panicked the first time she used cleaning spray so I completely understand!) Easing up on the food and drink rules will also not harm transfer. I do occasionally spiral a bit but I try to tell myself there'd be no humans alive/those products would not be for sale if these little things made a difference. Keeping my fingers so crossed for you!!! ❤️
