Did supplements improve your subsequent cycle?

[Jessy1280]

Just wondering if anyone saw major improvement between cycles by taking supplements?

First cycle I only took folic acid. Since reading it starts with the egg I'm taking everything.

Im about to start stims. Although different protocol this time (antagonist) wondering if I should see improvement in the numbers/quality of eggs I get.

Although I got 18 last time, just 3 made it to day 5. Rest were showing abnormalities. Also got OH on supplements this time. Hoping this is the key 🤞

Hi there, I cant advise if taking supplements have had any affect yet, as havent yet done my 2nd cycle, but like you I am taking a lot more having read it starts with the egg. So would be keen to hear what people say. I'm really hoping that this as well as other changes weve made will see an improvement in egg quality.

I got 10 eggs but only 1 fertilised and wasnt viable for transfer 😥

Wishing you all the luck in the world for cycle 2 🤞🤞🥰 xx

I only had two day 3 embryos during my first cycle. After taking supplements recommended from the book 'it starts with the egg' during our second cycle, we ended with 4 blastocyst thus we had them frozen.

Sounds promising! Did you change protocol 2nd cycle? We're they graded better? Sorry for all the questions Xx

Hi there, good luck with your next cycle. I had v low AMH and silly high FSH and took DHEA and also CoQ10 and seemed to have better follicular activity with these but who knows?? I previously had so many cycles cancelled due to cysts, but think they both helped follicles. Only ever got one egg...but she is currently 13 weeks old! All the best,
