What should I eat during my 2 week wait IVF?
What food should I eat? Think lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, good quality proteins, nuts and seeds, healthy fats and whole grains. The key here is blood sugar control to support implantation and early embryo development, so limit the junk and focus on real, nutrient-dense food.
What is the timeline for IVF?
An average IVF cycle takes about 6 to 8 weeks from consultation to transfer, but depending on the specific circumstances of each the path is similar for every patient.
What should I do the night before IVF?
Before embryo transfer
- Look into blastocyst transfer.
- Consider embryo screening.
- Investigate the EmbryoScope.
- Ask about assisted hatching.
- Talk to your doctor about estrogen and progesterone supplementation.
- Take it easy.
- Abstain from vigorous exercise and sexual intercourse.
- Eat as if you’re already pregnant.
What foods promote implantation?
Foods that are rich in nutrients that support implantation:
- Zinc for progesterone support: shellfish, nuts & seeds.

What day do you start Stims for IVF?
The stimulation phase begins on Day 1. In a natural monthly cycle, your ovaries would normally produce one egg. With an IVF cycle, you’ll take medication for eight to 14 days to encourage the follicles in your ovaries (where the eggs grow) to produce more eggs.
What causes IVF failure?
IVF can fail due to embryos that have chromosomal abnormalities. This means that the embryo has a missing, extra, or irregular portion of chromosomal DNA. The body then rejects the embryo and this results in IVF failure.

What is the estimated due date (EDD) for IVF?
If you did do IVF, the estimated due date (EDD) isn’t based on your last menstrual period (LMP). Instead, it’s based on the date of egg retrieval (fresh) or the date of transfer (fresh or frozen): Egg retrieval: EDD is 266 days after the egg retrieval Day 3 transfer: EDD is 263 days after transfer day
Are IVF babies more likely to be born on due dates?
The answer depends on what we mean by “accurate.” Is your baby more likely to be born on the exact due date because you did IVF? No, but that doesn’t matter much anyway. The estimated due date (EDD) is more of a ballpark — hardly anyone delivers on their exact due date. If anything, IVF babies are more likely to be born sooner.
What should my partner do before the IVF cycle?
Both partners need to be in optimal health for months before the IVF cycle to create the best quality embryo possible. It takes up to 90 days for men to produce mature sperm. Anything they do during this time can negatively or positively impact their sperm. Hot tubs, bike riding, alcohol, smoking will all negatively impact the sperm.
