What are the “silly” little things you did around transfer that you swear contributed to your success? 🤍
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to have my embryo transfer this summer and I’m currently putting together an IVF journal to help me stay organised (and sane!) throughout the process.
I know that ultimately embryo quality, uterine conditions, and a lot of luck are what matter most, but I’d love to hear about all the little rituals, habits, superstitions, routines, or comfort measures you did around transfer and during the two-week wait that made you feel positive and helped you through it.
I’m talking about things like:
Eating specific foods (McDonald’s fries, pineapple core, pomegranate juice, etc.)
Warm socks 🍟🧦
Acupuncture
Daily walks
Meditation or affirmations
Transfer day traditions
Things you did before transfer to prepare your body
Anything you genuinely feel helped contribute to a successful pregnancy and live birth
I’m not looking for medical advice or guarantees—just interested in hearing the little things that became part of your story and helped you feel like you were giving yourself the best possible chance.
As someone who loves planning, I’m collecting ideas for my journal and would love to hear what worked (or even what didn’t!).
Wishing everyone here success, wherever you are in your IVF journey. 🤍✨
Bonus question: If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice before transfer day, what would it be?
