I have the same issue.

And after 4 IUI and 4 ivf. We have move to donor egg. It’s our last chance now to conceive, if this doesn’t work for us.....we will be heart broken but it will be the end of the road for us! But it’s to much now. Our clinic told us on round 1 of the first 1ivf, before any of the other treatment that donor was the best option for us. But we didn’t feel like it was a option for us over 5 years ago. But u have to go on your own journey to work out what’s best for u. Xx good luck! Feel free to ask more questions if you need too x

I believe I improved mine

My first round I only got a grade 2 day 3 transfer but this time I got a grade 5bb blastocyst

I took DHA, ubiquinol, vitamin d, inisotol and folate as well as pre conception vitamins

I think the ubiquinol made the difference for me

You can get it online or via most health stores

Depends what strength you want

I read the same book as Scarlett, there’s lots of information in there about improving egg quality and also supplier suggestions

Yeah it’s not cheap but IVF isn’t so figured it was worth it if I could save on a round of meds. I just got mine from Holland and Barrett

Hi! I took DHEA, ubiquinol, folate and melatonin for my third round and got much better results! If you haven’t, read It Starts With The Egg. This is where I got all my info on all these things from x

Hi, after how many months of taking these meds did the effect show? We had our first failed cycle and it seems that egg quality needs to be improved. So wondering if we should jump in for the next one this month or wait for the meds to take effect for a month

I did 2 months worth before going again but 3 months is recommended x

Thanks so much! You mean 2 months before starting your stimulation cycle?

Scarlett13 in reply toShivaya2020

Yes I had about 8 weeks between my last BFN and then starting my third fresh round to do all of this x

Thanks, that is so encouraging to hear. Its tough to wait to do the next cycle, but if it gives better results then may as well be patient
