melatonin for ivf UK non-prescription

Eat-sleep-ivf-repeat profile image

anyone in the uk brought melatonin for ivf & egg quality through

BIOVEA.COM

I seen it mentioned in it starts with the egg book so thinking of adding as a supplement.

although not sure which dose 3 or 5mg.

Anyway my question is given I don’t seem to need a prescription to order did you contact your consultant first or just take them with your daily prenatal etc.

also with them coming from America was you hit with customs fee etc.

And which type/dose sis you purchase?

Thankyou!

Hi eat sleep ivf repeat,

I have ordered from them as the price and delivery time seemed to be most competitive. 2 days DHL delivery was £7 (including any customs etc) but it wasn’t shipped in 2 days so had to email and chase it but was sorted pretty quickly. When you sign with them they should give 15% off.

I have asked my consultant if could take it and he agreed but said I have to arrange it myself.

I am taking 3mg from starting stimulations as per study in below link

I got mine from I herb. All cost includes. I found it disrupted my sleep. Someone on here suggested I half the 3mg dose. I split my capsules and it seemed better. The link to that thread is on my profile.

Still to report on quality as currently have one embryo on day three. I took for three weeks prior to starting stims.
