Supplements while undergo ivf treatment

Hi all, I am preparing my body for 2nd round of ivf. Taking DHEA, Fertility blend and Vit D3. But my question is can I continue take them during the ivf treatment? Will they have any bad effect? Fyi, I have low AMH and fluid on both tube.

Please comment your experiences on taking those supplements while undergo ivf treatment

I can't comment on the others but I'm pretty sure you can take DHEA up till you get a positive result! x

Thanks. Even with ivf injection?

Take DHEA just until egg collection-it’s there to improve egg quality but could be detrimental after and you won’t need it after egg collection anyway. The others are fine.x

Thanks a lot. So I will continue take DHEA till EC. And the rest just keep taking. No effects right?

Hi sorry I can't help with the answer but I'm a similar situation as you, about to start first round of IVF. I'm going to drop an email to the clinic to ask. I am just taking co-enzyme q10, vitD, fertility blend and Royal jelly.

Please can I ask where did you get DHEA from? I've been reading about it as I have an extremely low AMH level so not much egg reserve and I am worried about quality. My clinic is starting trials on DHEA next month.

Many thanks

Hi, I used DHEA from GNC shop. Where I am located, quite difficult to get and most shop they sell DEA instead of DHEA. You need to take DHEA 6 weeks at least before ivf.
