Whatever I wanted.

My successful cycle was at the end of several unsuccessful ones, so by that point I'd given up thinking there was anything I could do by way of diet/exercise/rest/stress to impact success.

Good luck! Hoping by now maybe you've gotten a positive?

I just ate healthy, like I was already pregnant. I ended up pregnant and did seek out non-alcoholic beer early on, which was odd because I'm not really a beer drinker. I don't believe in the pineapple type hype but I maintained my activity levels (mostly hikes; my RE is very anti-bedrest post transfer since it impedes circulation) and I used guided relaxation, meditations, and my spouse doing acupressure to help me focus and relax. Good luck! I had success with my 1st and have one other...trying to stay optimistic as I wean my toddler in preparation for a (hopeful) sibling.

This is the OP. I had two previous transfers and both led to BFPs. Did what I eat make a difference? Probably not but why not start things out right? And after the trials and tribulations of IVF, I always want to feel like there is nothing to second guess...
I just had my transfer and here is what i ate last time and what I am adding:
pineapple core (I like the way it tastes so why not?)
chicken noodle soup
seeds (e.g., sesame and flax)
bone broth
pomegranate juice diluted with sparkling water

I am sending positive thoughts to everyone going through IVF too....

Nothing right away, I passed out for a few hours then woke up and we went to the local Friday night fish fry in Barbardos
(we used BFC) and I had a grilled fish dinner.

Huh. Like other posters, I don't recall at all. I have done many fet's, two successful. Have no idea. But I can tell you what I did, what I read, what I meditated to... But not what I ate

Is this supposed to assist in the implantation of the transfer?

Aspirin is a blood thinner, it helps implantation (allegedly). Since it is so cheap, many doctors just throw it in just in case.

It helps with blood flow, and helps women who have immune clotting disorders like MTHFR. Often women who benefit from BA can also benefit from Lovenox.

I've had three transfers, the last one worked. I don't remember what I ate. But yes did have baby aspirin. That's pretty common pre and post transfer.

With my second child, I remember we went to an Indian lunch buffet after the transfer!

I had pineapple (plus its core) and soups for my transfer that worked. I also drank decaf tea (which I heard you're not supposed to do).

My first successful, a Krispy Kreme donut. My second successful (ended in miscarriage) a Krispy Kreme donut. My third successful (second live birth), a Krispy Kreme donut.

I did not have a Krispy Kreme donut following my last transfer that ended in another miscarriage.

I’m teasing a bit, but my point is that other than staying away from alcohol and large amounts of caffeine, I believe all that other stuff (no cold water, pineapple core, etc etc)- and my clinic agrees- is a load of it. If it makes you feel better about the transfer, more power to you. But you’re not going to have implantation failure because you drank a bit of tea.
