Hi there,

 

I am currently scheduled for a FET on the 7th of March. I am also doing fertility yoga and acupuncture. Last night I took the hcg shot. The fertility yoga and acupuncture treatments are based on the phases you are at in your cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulation, luteal).

I want to make sure that I am doing yoga and acupuncture for the right phase of my cycle. Am I at the ovulation stage until transfer or am I at the luteal stage? So confusing.

 

Thanks,

Good luck in your upcoming FET.

 

If you go to the following link, there is a really good graphic on the right hand side. The luteal phase occurs after ovulation, and the transfer occurs at this stage in your cycle. So you are in the ovulation stage of your cycle.

returnable - thanks for info. So in the ovulation phase until transfer day and then once transfer occurs move to luteal phase?

I think there is a few days before transfer that you move into the luteal phase. If you think of it in a natural pregnancy the egg ovulates and you move into the luteal phase, but fertilization and implantation does not occur until a few days later.

You will have ovulated before transfer day. The HCG shot would have made you ovulate so you are now in the luteal phase.
