Supplements

[bumpkin]

Hi All, I am taking a few supplements and not sure if I am meant to stop them at any point during IVF. I had egg collection today and wasn't sure if you just carry on with them. I take a pre natal that I'll carry on with but I also take Vit E, COQ10 and melatonin. Any ides anyone? Thanks all x

Not much idea but If I'm in your shoe I will stop melatonin, it has mixed reviews about using it when pregnant. And after transfer you should act pregnant.

Thank you, I was thinking the same! X

I’m sorry I don’t know the answer either but I have been trying to find out myself!! So I’m so glad someone else has the same thought.

Google gives really conflicting advice so it’s difficult to know what to do for the best. I would ask your nurse at your next apt and see what they advise for you.

Goodluck with your cycle! 🤞🏼

Thanks Hun! It's so confusing when you are trying to do the right thing and it isn't clear! Best of luck to you too xx

I chose to stop ubiquinol as my clinic said all I needed was pregnancare Max, so that’s now all I’m taking.

Ask your clinic. But from memory when I took DHEA and CoQ10 I stopped them day the day before egg retrieval but carried on with the folic acid, multivits and baby aspirin. My transfer unfortunately didn't work. Waiting for a frozen transfer this month and was told to continue taking them again as should this one not work and they are in my system to benefit me should I need another egg retrieval cycle. Xx
