Feel like I am ready

Start to take vitamins, folic acid, maca root, Royal jelly , Myo-inositol

Good luck! So I felt like I rattled permanently! I took Vit D,E & B, DHEA, melatonin, l’argenine and omega 3.

Hope you have a successful round. Just had my third and was the best yet for numbers, quality etc xx

Thank you so much

Hope yours will be the lucky πŸ€ 3rd as well

It is DHA and DHEA the same?

I do take DHA but not sure if its the same one

It is at the moment as just tested positive. So keeping fingers crossed for viability scan 🀞😬

I’m not sure if it’s the same thing. You can’t get it in UK pharmacies so my consultant told me about biovea.com

Apparently co-enzyme q10? Also check with your clinic the dosing if the vitamins - I was on all of the above and they told me to cut a few out. Also I had read loads about maca but my clinic hasn’t heard of it! Anyway I have tried different combos with my different cycles - this time I forked out on zita west vitamins!

I do started as well zita vitamins

They have ivf package

Is really expensive but I hope will work this time

My clinic said to take just folic acid and vitamin D

Hi, I am half way through reading 'It starts with the egg'. This is the 4th IVF book I've read and the most informative when it comes to supplements, a really good read and all research based if you're interested. I've logged L'Arginine, Coq10, vitamin D and folic acid. But, depending on your circumstance, there maybe other things that will or won't benefit you. Some things are good for egg production and quality and then some things for supporting lining growth. All the best x

Yes I agree with this. I've read this book and not all vitamins and supplements work for everyone and I'm so glad that I read this book before buying all the vitamins that are not relevant for me because of my pcos.

I've also been taking maca root powder in smoothies around every other day. I assume it's not harmful as it's natural.

All the best Frussy xx

Thank you so much

My last cycle I had 8 eggs where 4 fertilise and 2 made till day 5

I had 1 Embry 4BB and one 3BC

My lining was a little thin, It was not wanted to get better than 7mm

I am not sure if all of this was a good cycle or just average

I do start now a new one and just hope for more good quality eggs to fan have some embryos for the freezer to can give me a better chance for a baby πŸ‘Ά β€οΈπŸ‘Ά

I've heard about maca and gave it a whirl. I wasn't a fan of the taste though! But all in the name of fertility πŸ˜„
