Women who are experiencing the Two-Week-Wait aka….the worst 10-14 days of your life want that carefully placed embryo to nestle into your uterus and IMPLANT.

Women who are experiencing the Two-Week-Wait aka… the worst 10-14 days of your life, want that carefully placed embryo to nestle into your uterus and IMPLANT. We also need a beautiful juicy thick endometrial lining. Many of my clients have had IUI and IVF transfers due to thin lining.
Let me break down why this elixir is a winner.
Beets: Beetroot contains nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels allowing a rich supply of oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to flow to the uterus. YES! Its intake starting a week or two before an embryo transfer or IUI day may improve embryo implantation into the uterus (1). Beets improve circulation that can aid in thickening the uterine lining.
Watermelon: L-Citrulline in watermelon, may improve vascular function through increased L-arginine bioavailability and nitric oxide synthesis (2).
Ginger: A powerful antioxidant that is great for reducing inflammation.
Lemon Juice: Packed with essential vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. It also balances out the flavors.
