Supplements for FET

[Birdwithnoname]

Hi, can any one suggest which vitamins & supplements to have a break from and which ones are essential for a frozen cycle? For fresh cycles my regime consists of 1000mg Vit c, bee propolis, coq10, selenium, pregnacare and extra vit d, extra b Vit complex

Thanks xx

Hi Birdwithnoname. Gosh that's a lot of vitamins etc. Remember that we don't store vitamin C, so no need for such a large dose if you are eating a well balanced diet. Your multivitamin should be adequate as it has the required amount f Folic Acid you need. 10 mcgs of Vitamin D is recommended too. Hope that helps and hope all goes well for you. Diane

Thank you,

The 1000mg Vit c is recommended by our unit - nhs - and also by the embryologist who said it’s important for my partner to take as well. It’s on the info sheets we got at the start. I take the slow release, can’t do any harm if we don’t store it anyway. I can’t understanding why no one else has been told to do the same...

Hi. That's OK if your clinic is recommending you both take it. Diane
