IVF preparation

[Hrte]

Hi all,

Can i please ask what multivitamins you all used prior to having IVF, to prepare your body.

Hello... I started taking Pregnacare pre-conception about 5 months before my egg retrieval then when I got pregnant I switched to Pregnacare throughout... they seem to be working for me. Good luck!!

Did you get pregnant on your first round of IVF?

[HelenJudi1 in reply to Hrte]

I did. I was very lucky! I had experienced many failed IUIs prior to ivf though. On my first round of ivf, I had to have an all frozen cycle. Fortunately, I got three day five blastocysts frozen. The first one thawed and transferred took and I am now nearly 20 weeks pregnant. So grateful! x

Hi, I take co-enzyme q10 supplement around 300mg (recommended by my consultant after our failed 1st round) and a combo folic acid, b6,b12 supplement with general multi vits. Good luck! Xx

WonderworldXx hi, do you think taking supplements a month before egg retrieval would make any difference ? I have only bought Ubiqunol and dhea today .

Hi, cici85 i’d say definately yes, never too late to start. We had a 3 month gap as that’s usual time frame for new eggs to form but that was more of my choice than anything. One thing my consultant stressed to me was continue my supplements throughout the wait. Good luck with everything! Xx

I'm the same as HelenJudy1, started with pregnacare. I'm not usually good at buying the pricier thing that might be just a rip off but in this case, it seemed like the right thing to do. I also took B vitamins and magnesium but then stopped them as I got close.
