• 0.0375mg Synthroid (continuously)
• Lexapro
• Prenatal (without iron as it binds me)
• Folguard 2.2Methyl folate (2 tabs/day)
• Extra 1g C (Stop at ET)
• Extra 1g Calcium
• Extra 400mg E (Stop at ET)
• Nettle Tea & Capsules

• 2g Bromelain (haven’t done this after cycle 3)
• 2000iu D3
• Keep BMI under 24
• No caffeine (decaf OK)
• No soy when in cycle (eh, I’ve stopped this)

Day of Transfer

• Bed rest

Post ET Changes

• Visualization
• 200mg progesterone capsules
• Take it easy days 2&3
• No sex til beta#1
• Cut out egg yolks (contains immunogenic acid)
• POAS every single day so I can watch the b-HCG line disappear so if I am graced with a BFP, I’ll know it isn’t the trigger.
