Hot water bottle to aid implantation?

[Clover]

Hi ladies me again! sorry I seem to be clogging up the forum with my posts

I'm 2dpo & I've been researching what helps implantation

and read on the net that using a hot water bottle or wheat bag on your uterus in the 2ww is good for implantation. Its supposed to make the uterus nice & warm for implantation, according to accupunture dr's a embryo wont implant if the utreus is cold. Its also supposed to send blood flow to the uterus i.e your womb lining.
Now what i have read up on, it seems to come from IVF doctors telling there patients on embryo transfer to go home & use a hot water bottle or wheat bag.

has anyone else heard of this ??

Baby dust to all xxx

I have heard this, but I've also heard it can do harm if it is too hot. I did try it for a couple of cycles and it didn't make a difference for me. I'm quite a cold person so I thought it might help (I've tried pretty much everything I'm that desperate!).

My acupuncturist said to keep tummy warm but didn't mention hot water bottle, she just said to make sure I was wrapped up, also warm foods and drinks, not too much milk as it causes a 'damp' environment and to keep feet warm too xx

Oh that's interesting about the milk Lisey as I had read that Full fat milk can help thicken the uterine lining??.....will have to research again xxx

Yeah some women are told during IVF to have milk as its a good source of protein but there is conflicting advice, I asked my acupuncturist and she said not to over indulge and there were many of sources of protein. She said if she was ttc or going through IVF she wouldn't drink it herself xx

I will drink it in moderation, I love milk so it will be hard not to drink too much

Going to buy a wheatbag and use it for a few days ....don't think it will do any harm....oh and thick fluffy socks

I love a hot water bottle! I always just automatically assumed it would be harmful but reading this is amazing because I have one of those bears that you microwave and then cuddle haha so I can use that on my bad back now! xx

I used a hot water bottle in the days leading up to egg collection as I read it can help follicle growth and there was a lot of growth in those days according to the scan. I might try it on natural cycles too, its cold in the eve anyway so a hot water bottle will be cosy.
I hate milk so I was relieved to not have to drink it xx
