Need advice 🙂

Hello, i am just about to start icsi, was wondering if there is anything i could take, like vitamins to help boost my chances? My egg count is low 2.6 age 34, im on the highest dose of medication is there anyone who has been in same position?

I don't believe there are, except the folic acid. However, there are conception vitamins on the shelf which are priced significantly higher. You could even find the vitamin for male and female partners.

Thank you.

I took pregnacare conceptio supplements (they contain everything you need, like folic acid, vitamin d, vitamin c) and I ate a spoon of honey that had royal jelly in each day. Royal jelly is meant to be good for egg quality I believe. I did this for a while in the build up.

Keeping a balanced diet and doing light exercise will probably help too. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you, i have read about the royal jelly will give it a try, im taking 7 seas trying for a baby aa the pregnacare more bitamins in that? I eat healthy so il keep that up, and do light exercise 🙂

I think pregnacare just has loads of stuff that will help with conception and then throughout pregnancy. Some people have said they didn't get on with them, but I never had any problems. Also got my hubby to take the male version to help his sperm quality.

I believe you can buy royal jelly on supplement form too, as I sometimes struggled to find the honey. Just a little note, I had ivf not icsi but you know, same difference!

Good luck!

Hi there - I am in a similar situation, currently in the middle of our icsi cycle. Husband recently had his SSR. We took pregnacare supplements for vitamins but I think the main thing is folic acid and a multi vitamin as others have said. You can take other things to supposedly improve your egg quality but you may wish to see how you get on first? Best of luck x

Thank you, im taking 7 seas trying for baby, but think i will try the pregnacare x

[Hidden in reply to NCS88]

Wishing you best of luck too 🤞

I’m in a similar position to you. My clinic advised me to take proxeed. I was also informed other people have tried coq10 and dhea but nothing to show how effective they are and if they actually do help. I decided to take everything. Good luck x

[Hidden in reply to Manu16]

Thank you, think i will do same x

Hi, I too have low AMH. Myself and my husband are taking the pre conception pregnacare, I’ve also been taking ubiquinol and DHEA. The book ‘It starts with the egg’ is worth a read re supplements and lots of other advice. Best of luck with everything x

[Hidden in reply to LittleMermaid1]

I will have a read, thank you, good luck to you both too x

[Sarah83ap in reply to Hidden]

I’m reading it’s starts with the egg and I’ve found it really helpful and informative. I’ve only just started it after 2 failed ICSI so I’m hoping the tips will help boost my odds. I’d defo recommend the book though.

[Hidden in reply to Sarah83ap]

Thank you, I am about to start in the next week so prob left it a bit too late, but i will definitely get the book you never know, plus we have gone for two cycles so will help if we need a second go, we are doing the icsi too, did you have to leave it long before each cycle? Wishing you all the luck for your next x

[Sarah83ap in reply to Hidden]

I left it two months between cycles. This time I’ve asked for more tests as we have one more go and I wanna check there isn’t anything else I should be worried about so I’m hoping I get another go before Xmas so I can at least enjoy the Xmas food abit more that I can right now. I’ve been out on no sugar diet to help egg quality.

Good luck!! 🍀

[Hidden in reply to Sarah83ap]

Ahh I hope it works this time for you, im going to try everything i can as well x

300mg ubiquonol twice daily, and PQQ, and 75mg dhea daily, and inositol powder are the combination that I think improved my eggs enough to conceive naturally (AMH around 2.7).

[Hidden in reply to Orla9298]

Great, thank you and congratualtions 🙂

[Orla9298 in reply to Hidden]

Well we never managed to keep a pregnancy yet, but having now moved to donor eggs I’m hoping that will change. Xx

[Hidden in reply to Orla9298]

Oh sorry i didnt realise 😔, i wish you all the luck, at least you know what works so hopefully will again, i will try some of those as well x
