Extras?

Hi ladies, I have started my meds. Things aren't going quite as quickly as hoped and so have to stay on them for longer. However, I take folic acid but was wandering if any of you would reccomend anything else. If the meds do the job over the weekend 🙏 we should be looking at egg collection the start of next week(ish.) xx

Hi there, like you I had to stay on the meds for longer both with the buserlin and the menopur. Frustrating isn't it as you just want your body to do what it supposed to be doing and go to next stage of process. Hope your next scan shows the meds are kicking in now and you can go ahead to the egg collection.

I took a pre-conception multi-vitamin tablet which had the folic acid in it but also other vitamins. But I believe as long as you having a healthy diet and taking folic acid that's dandy.

Best of luck to you for your IVF journey.
