NP (and fellow FETer), Im a little confused is this real stuff or a joke?

If you follow naturopathic remedies, this isn't confusing. I know everyone has a different path, but maybe you shouldn't call other people's nutritional approaches a joke, at least not without engaging in a two second Google search. Might not be your path, but your ignorance isn't an excuse for insulting people.

Respectfully I think the poster assumed too much knowledge. I wasn’t calling it a joke I was asking. I also prefaced it by saying I was confused. Since the above poster did not specify that these approaches followed a school of thought I was lost. I don’t think it’s on me to go googling w/o context; it’s a discussion board so I asked.

Respectfully, you used the word joke. Respectfully, if you think sometime assumes too much knowledge, do some googling. There's easy context: implantation success warm feet/pineapple/etc. If you don't want to google, just ask nicely. Don't say something is a joke. This is a fraught time, and you know that. Women are following many paths, and I highly doubt one would share her story as a joke.

Thank you, PP. I am the original poster of this comment and I most assuredly did not mean it as a joke. I also had acupuncture before and after my transfer, spent the rest of the day in bed, gave up decaf coffee (I stopped all alcohol and caffeine nearly a year ago), exercised (low impact) daily, and prayed many many times each day for success. My FET worked, but I miscarried in the first trimester. When I have my next FET I will do all of these things again.

I tried pineapples and Brazil nuts twice. It worked 50% of the time, which tracks the 50% chance of success the RE gave me.

Recommend acupuncture on transfer date and limiting caffeine intake

Try to relax bc stress doesn’t help the process.

Thanks!

I did endometrial scratching when I was with SGFC. They said it was experimental and even sort of discouraged it but that was the cycle I got pregnant. I did acupuncture before and after transfer. And I also took it easy for the subsequent 48 hours - I basically laid in bed, read books, watched Hulu, chatted with my husband and friends. I didn't run around, I stayed home from work, I just relaxed. Statistically, there's no evidence that bed rest makes a difference, but I do think for me it did, at least in terms of managing regret and feeling like I was doing everything I could.

Best wishes, OP.
