my doctor recommended me and my neighbour to take 600 mg of CoQ10 per day together with Zita west premium nutrition for female fertility which also has folic acid and other vitamins and minerals that you need to improve your success rate for IVF and the quality of your eggs.

wish you all the best

I was taking Vitamin D and Folic Acid, but now I just take a Pregnacare multivitamin as recommended by my clinic (which also includes Vit D and Folic Acid).

I was prescribed the higher dose of 5mg folic acid and I used a strong (3000iu) vit D spray. Tried prenatal vits but they messed up my cycle so stopped taking them.

I actually take a lot of supplements to prepare my body before 2nd stimulation so instead of listing them I'd suggest you buy 2 books that have advice on supplements and other things e.g. complementary therapies and follow them: "It Starts with the Eggs" and Zita West's "Fertility and Conception : The Complete Guide to Getting Pregnant"; both can be found in Amazon.

Believe me when I tell you this as it's from 1st hand bad experience, folic acid isn't enough(!) even if your RE only suggests this.
