How I Prepared For My Frozen Embryo Transfer

Everything about how I prepared for my frozen embryo transfer! Last year, last July 2022, I had a successful frozen embryo transfer; I can't believe Quinn is already 6 months old! In this video, I explain all the things I did to prepare my body for my frozen embryo transfer. How I prepared for my frozen embryo transfer last year is how I am going to prepare for my frozen embryo transfer number 2 next summer.

I hope that by summarizing how I prepared for my frozen embryo transfer will help those of you planning on your transfer. The things that I did to prepare are pretty basic and simple, but I believe very important to fertility health especially when trying to conceive. If you are anticipating your frozen embryo transfer day coming soon, I wish you all the success! I pray that your little embryo sticks and that you get your miracle too!🙏❤️

I've been watching your journey for a year. My partner and I have been going through IVF since April '23 and a year and a month later we are scheduled for first FET! I'm so excited! Watching this video to get a few tips. Your story has been so inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

I have my FET this tuesday and it’s our 3rd (and last) precious embryo. Devastated it’s not worked so far and doing everything I can to make this one work..! Thank you for your advice

[jawomariama]

I’m day 5 post egg retrieval. I’m so anxious, unfortunately I do not have a great recovery. I had 10 fertilized embryos waiting for results🤞🏽! Infertility sucks!

Just had my embryo transfer January 4 2024

My first was a success and I now have a healthy 17 month old. I just had my second transfer yesterday and I got the call for my two week wait and informed I wasn’t pregnant. So I’m now questioning what I did wrong. Your right the embryo either sticks or not.

Thank you as always for your helpful and informational videos! So much of your advice around diet I incorporated, so I appreciate you!

I, too, incorporated acupuncture but not until before my second FET and I am soooo thankful on so many levels for her!! I saw her twice a week leading up to my transfer because I had never done it before and she wanted 8-12 sessions before the transfer and then twice the day of, sometime during the morning before and immediately after. My anxiety was/has been the worst after the transfer and my acupuncturist also helped with that! She put pins in my ears that stayed there to focus on the central nervous system and help with anxiety. She also encourages meditation which helped immensely. I can't say enough about it. I am still seeing her, because it was recommended weekly sessions through the 1st trimester and then monthly after that. I am currently 11 weeks so we'll see what's to come.

I also wanted to add for those that plan to incorporate electrolytes that I have a recommendation that doesn't have as much sugar, the brand LMNT. I have yet to try it but am interested to learn of one with less sugars.

Hi Brittany, first congrats on your successful journey. My first fresh embryo transfer did not work. Planning to do frozen transfer in 6 months. Just curious, did you take birth control before your embryo transfer? If so, for how long. Much appreciated.

Hi Brittany, your videos are my fertility Bible. I’ve been watching you ever since the summer of last year trying to get myself ready and prepare. I finally had my egg retrieval on Saturday and I’m just waiting to hear from day five about my little babies seven embryos fertilize so they’re in the lab doing their thing and it’s driving me insane I am trying very hard to say super positive you know I know the archer rate and stuff but I’m trying however our goal is to do our frozen embryo transfer in late October early November so like you said, I am trying to start three months ahead to get my body prepared for it. You know with some stress and some fertility meds. I have gained a little bit of body fat that not too happy so I’d like to get mybody mass index but I am a massive weight loss loser I went from having 60 BMI to 26 so I want to heat my fat down and I just don’t feel good lately either. It’s just been so hectic and stressful. You post everything you talk about everything is so helpful and I cannot thank you enough. I’m so glad to hear a little Quinn is doing well and I’m hoping by now he might have a little brother sister on the way I got some other videos to catch up on.

Another great video Brit!! My FET probably won’t be for a little more while yet since I need a hysteroscopy before transfer (yeah I had my egg retrievals in January and March and still haven’t been able to transfer yet).

[dbalexan]

Recommendations start @9:46. You’re welcome. 🙂

New subscriber here, found your videos very informative. I will be starting IVF cycle after all the bassline ultrasounds in October. Any tips for success process?

[atimnile]

Does Lemon water really help with the absorption of IVF meds?? I have heard but really want to verify if it’s true??

[lizparsons]

I'm hoping to adopt an embryo. It will be 2bb graded. I'm not sure if it will work, but I'm hoping! My blood chloride levels are really high and so is my natural killer cells count, which can cause lack of fertility. I'm getting intralipids. I heard taking calcium helps deal with hyperchloremia.

Wow thanks, no matter if you’re 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.

Do you walk everyday after your embryo transfer ?

[cuisineallfuntravelnetwork]

How many liters water you drink to make them comfortable to do it

[drvedat]

Eating healthy is okay but no food can increase the chances of implantation. The most important things are the preparation of the womb lining namely endometrium, your hormone levels before progesterones started and the embryos qualities actually if they are euploid. I here assume that your embryo transfer will hypothetically be done perfectly by your doctor. A hard transfer may ruin all these preps. Totally don't recommend on the contrary smoking should be stopped but I had some patients just putting off their cigarette before their transfer but got pregnant since the things I mentioned before were all in line

Why does everyone talk so much..get to the point!

Hi Brittany! Fellow nurse & fertility warrior 🤍 We have been trying for a few years following me losing both of my Fallopian tubes post ectopics. We have our third FET this Tuesday and are beyond excited, but nervous for outcome. Trying to stay cautiously optimistic 🙏
Thankyou so much for all of your open, honest videos, they have helped me prep for this egg retreival & transfer
