What did your GP take into consideration when you were discussing it?

I've asked my clinic for their thoughts and the recurrent miscarriage midwife, but to date, no one will commit to an answer...

in reply toHollibob

Hi not sure what he took into consideration he knows I am doing IVF, low egg reserve etc he did state there was nothing proven that this actually makes a difference but also said it wouldn't cause me any harm. So I have decided to give it a go as I have read a lot of positives using it. I also want the scratch this time x

Ok...I want to try it too, but need a medical professional to say it will be ok...

in reply toHollibob

I was like that but when my GP said they won't harm anything I thought why not I have tried pretty much everything else xx

My iv f doctor recommended it and I certainly got a lot more eggs than they expected after only a few months of taking it.
