Hey, also try to include wholegrains at every meal. Studies have indicated 48g daily can help improve implantation rate. Wishing you all the best!

Absolutely nothing. I had one cup of instant coffee in a morning, had takeaways, I drank alcohol (only 2 gins) the day before my period on the transfer that worked. I had a cold milkshake straight after the transfer.
It’s all old wives tales and circumstantial evidence aka a few people ate that and it worked so now it’s “linked” in a study. So unless your clinic specifically recommend it, then as long as you’re eating a good balanced diet most of the time you’ll be fine.
The embryo is either going to stick or it isn’t. Eating a pineapple core ain’t going to change that. As much as people would have you believe.
IVF is hard, don’t stress yourself eat the cake and relax. Best of luck.

I ate plenty of 🥑 🍍 but like @Danielle said I'm not sure it actually does make a difference and you shouldn't feel bad for having something you enjoy. Best of luck 💚 x

Drink lots of fresh pomegranate juice / beetroot juice,
Specially watermelon,little bit ginger and beetroot juice during tww have this start from day one definitely help for implantation. Stay very active during tww time I mean walk a lot. From day to day 5 eat pineapple like one pineapple cut in 5 slices and eat one with core till day 5 of tww. But continue watermelon juice till tww complete. Definitely eat avocado. Before transfor eat lots of pineapple core and pomegranate juice

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
