Egg retrieval DONE (Hooray!) supplement query...

[Emlou87]

So I had my egg retrieval today (27 eggs!) but they have said I’m high risk for developing OHSS. Therefore the plan is to freeze all embryos and go for a FET in January. My question is... do I need to continue taking all the supplements?

I currently take Pregnacare pre-conception, COQ10 and DHA. I plan to continue pregnacare but wasn’t sure about the others.... TIA xx

I'm in the same boat but clinic advised against anything other than pregnacare. I take a bit extra vitamin d but nothing else. Fingers crossed for your embryo development and FET in jan. Can't come soon enough for me. X

Thank you! I’ll contact the clinic and double check then. Fingers crossed for you too. I’m looking forward to Jan but also relieved to give my body a bit of a break!! X

Wouldn’t so CoQ10 but I would start Vitamin D if you’re not on it.

Not sure about the supplements, I just kept going with pregnacare. I had a freeze all cycle in November and unfortunately had quite bad OHSS. I’m sure your clinic have said this, but make sure you drink plenty and can pee! I was also advised to drink protein drinks to help. Good luck for January, my FET is pencilled in for February - can’t come soon enough!

I think I’ll do the same and just continue with pregnacare. Sorry to hear you had a rough ride with OHSS. Thanks for the heads up with the protein drinks! X

Ok. How much does fet cost?

[Emlou87]

I’m not sure at this point... I need to contact my consultant tomorrow and book in an appointment. I’ll keep you posted! X

Well done! How many embryos you have? I’m stressed waiting for pgd results .. don’t know about vitamins.. good luck

[Emlou87 in reply to fay2399]

I’m waiting for the phone call today to find out number of embryos. What’s pgd stand for? X
