Second IVF cycle currently underway. Have had one BFP with BO at 8 weeks :( Then frozen cycle no luck. Both times one embryo transfered only. This time around hubby and I have been on strict diet (no alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar etc). Needed ICSI last time not this time. :thumbsup: Highly recommend good diet! Have 6 fertilised embryos, up to day 2 with 4 @ 4 cells and 2 @ 2 cells. Looking pretty good. We are not sure whether to have two ET's or still go with one? We want to have a baby but not sure about the realities of two at once. Also worried about how we might feel if we have 2 ET's and both don't work, could be a soul breaker. Any advice?? :eek:

I had 2 embies transfered because of my age and my IVF Doc also prefers to work with 2 embies (where possible)
Have you talked about this with your Doc?
Good Luck with your 2nd cycle....
You are certainly on the right track by eliminating caffeine, alcohol from your diet...
I am a strong believer in cutting out all caffeine.... including chocolate, etc...
Let us know how you go....
