Making things easy for implantation.

[LouiseB]

Hiya

I was just forwarded some info from a girl that just had IVF and had some embryos transferred over was given by her clinic.

The advice is just precautions to try to encourage implantation and should mosty be taken more lightly after a definite BFP:

- Eat a high protein or a healthy balaned diet. No spicy foods or bowel irritants.
- Drink 2 litres of fluids/day and limit your caffeine intake
- Reduce physcial activity as much as possible for the day around implantation.
- Thereafter, try to live life as normally as possible, but be sensible
- Avoid strenuous excercise and swimming.
- If you exercise on a regular basis, then continue, but be sensible and in moderation.
- Avoid sexual intercourse.
- Reduce stress as far as possible

Why not BD? Or swim? What can they do to harm? Just asking as I've got a two day spa break on Monday and Tuesday. Wasn't going to use the hot tubs and saunas etc so thought I'd be ok to swim? X

I can't really say because it's second hand info, but try to remember that this is in terms of IVF so after all that effort they try to be a bit more cautious.

If i was to hazard a guess i think in both cases there would be an unnecessary risk of exertion then with bd'in the impact to the cervix which is in direct contact to the uterus.

You don't have to worry about being in the water, but i think actually swimming a distance for a period of time is what it refers to
