Just a healthy diet, like I had been doing for about 6 months leading up to the IVF. Lots of whole grains, fruits, fish, etc...

Re: Do you follow any special diet during IVF?
I went a little nutso with diet on my first IVF cycle. Lots of steamed spinach, everything organic, nothing cold (no ice cream etc..), only room temp water, no sugar, high fiber carbs only, no soda, no coffee, no caffeine, only red raspberry leaf tea up until ER, fish oil supplements, anit-oxidant juices (acai), grape seed oil extract, wheat grass powder...oh there must be more that I am forgetting. Basically everything my acu said I did. I wasn't so strict with my next 2 cycles. But, I will say that I lost weight on my first IVF cycle and gained on the others. So, something good came out of all that.

Re: Do you follow any special diet during IVF?
My acup. has me drinking one-two cups of cinnamon tea per day, supposed to help with blood flow to the uterus and in general. (i'm usually cold all the time).
He said to stay away from dairy and peanut butter andto eat red meat. ALso, no processed foods, cut back on sugar. No caffeine, which isn't aproblem fo rme anyway b/c I don't drink coffee or soda and the tea is herbal caffeine free.
**also, no pedicures and massages for the 2ww.**

I ate pineapple core like it was going out of style.
And I tried to stay away from processed sugars.

My accupuncturist recommended no cold or raw foods/drinks. I just ate healthy and tried to avoid foods high in sugar.
