New to this but glad I found you all!

We had our retrieval Monday and my husband's TESE.  We are in a bit of pain but hanging in there.  Out of 11 eggs, 9 were ICSI and 7 fertilized.  We are now waiting for the 3 or 5 day transfer decision.  This is our first IVF try.  Any advice besides stay calm? LOL

Some people believe in particular fruits and juices help ie pineapple (to help implantation), grape (to help with constipation which comes with the meds), cranberry (to help with infections in the body). I didn't use them on my first ivf (it didn't work) but i did with my second (which worked, sadly miscarried at 12 weeks). All i did for the 2nd one was i stayed home for 5 days just laying on the sofa only to get up to get food and go to the bathroom, NEVER lifted anything over 10lbs, didn't vacuum, no baths or swimming (the last 3 things were suggestions from the fertility clinic and drank at least one glass of each of those juices every day...Good Luck and i hope it works for you
