Hi

Just wondering what supplements everyone is taking? I’m on

DHEA

CoQ10

Folic acid

Vitamin d

Is there anything I’m missing that I could be taking?

Have these been recommended to you by your clinic? I’m only taking elivit and a liquid iron, then I’ve just added a vegan dha plus I have regular flaxseed oil.

I’m wary of taking anything that I haven’t checked with my clinic first because some things can negatively impact.

I try to eat well, I’m vegetarian so lots of vegetables and I eat organic where I can, but actually since I started the ivf process I’m so tired all the time I pretty much eat eggs with avocado on toast all the time.

Yeah all I am taking is what the clinic have recommended, just wondering what other people take in case I could be taking something else as well.

Not sure what elevit is but def make sure it contains vitamin d.

My clinic recommended pregnacare max because it contains an easily digestible form of folic acid which is important as they identified that I am one of the 10% of Caucasian women who do not absorb folic acid effectively. I also take ubiquinol which is a more digestible form of CoQ10.

Dha & omega 3 I think are good if you don’t eat a lot of fish x
