About to start my second round of IVF. Does anyone have any tips/things they tried in additional rounds that seemed to work or even relax them? 😊

I know it's a bit wooo but I found regular acupuncture helpful even if it did just relax me. I would say however that as much as I'd do it again, I wouldn't do two appointments on transfer day again.

I also found that when I took extra selenium and b complex that the transfer was successful.

I found drinking the 2L of water a day on my last round made a massive difference to how I felt. The ivf ‘worked’ but ended in a chemical, but I’m convinced that drinking water made a difference. The nurses at my current practice made a big thing about it, I can’t remember exactly what they said but something to do with flushing the toxins out from the meds to ensure it wasn’t building up in my body and being harmful. Good luck

@lovingtheheat @Agapanthus13 thanks so much for your replies. Anything is worth a try! Will give acupuncture a go, even if all it goes is relax me. Haven't heard of those, but I'll look into getting them, thanks 😊
I'll also make sure I'm having at least 2L of water. Thanks again 💞
