SPINOFF: Preparing body/mind for IVF

Hi,

Did anyone do anything to prepare their body for IVF?

I'm trying to cut out soda, alcohol, etc
I also have been doing acupunture 1-2x week.

Re: SPINOFF: Preparing body/mind for IVF

I did acupuncture, cut out caffeine, reduced alcohol to no more than 5 drinks per week, increased fertile veggies like kale, and started taking lots of fish oils. I did an herbal fertility cleanse recommended by my acupuncturist. I did daily meditation (Circle + Bloom) and a little ferility yoga.

I read The Mind Body Fertility Connection and followed some of those suggestions too.

SPINOFF: Preparing body/mind for IVF

acupuncture, cut out caffeine and alcohol, ate lots of red fruits and veggies (per acupuncturist), tried to eat mostly warm foods to "keep the womb warm" (also as per acupuncturist), did a TON of meditating in order to reduce stress before and during the cycle. i think of all things the acu and meditation helped the most.
