Probiotics for Embryo Transfer

Has anyone been advised to use vaginal probiotics to prepare for an embryo transfer? There are some recent studies that have shown probiotics could help with embryo implantation and as we’re about to go into our 4th FET since autumn my doctor has advised that we take them before our next FET.

There’s not much info out there about dosage so just wondered what everyone (anyone?) else is doing? I have a daily tablet (Optibac intimate) and am also going to use Canesflor pessaries. The pessaries only suggest to use for a week but I wondered if anyone has been using them longer term? It doesn’t seem like you can really overdo it with probiotics but there just isn’t much advice out there.

@OceanSunday - I am waiting ovulation for my natural FET. I'm taking Canesflor. Was advised to take 10 prior transfer (since my ovulation is later will ask again if need to continue all the way till transfer) and then start taking after transfer again.

I think k the best would be to check with your doctor. But it seems until transfer it's ok
