FET supplements

[Summertime12]

Hello ladies,

Just wondering what supplements everyone is taking to prepare for a FET?

I'm taking quite a few but haven't been taking CoQ10 and wanted to know if I should take it? My transfer is in 2 weeks.

Hi there on "It starts with the egg" they recommend to take the usual prenatal, Vit D and then Vit E 600 mg, L-Arginine 6 gr and Ubiquinol. So I am doing that. Best of luck with your transfer xx

Thanks. It might be too late for me to add Ubiquinol. I'm not too keen on L arginine. I'm taking Vit D, prenatal, bit E, vit C, fish oil, magnesium. I'm also drinking green tea and red raspberry leaf tea.

Hi Summertime. My dietary advice that contains all you need at this time is as follows.... Carbohydrates - Wholegrain bread and wholemeal pasta, oatmeal, brown rice. All fresh vegetables especially raw or steamed. Over boiling rids them of vitamins and minerals, pineapple juice, apricots, potatoes, all fruit and honey, beans, chickpeas and lentils. Protein - Organic meat if possible, poultry, fish, Milk and hard cheese, nuts and seeds. Fat - Extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, avocado and peanut butter, mackerel, sardines, nuts (especially Brazil and walnuts), seeds, sweet corn and sweet potatoes. The things to avoid are too much sugar, processed foods, ready meals, butter, ice cream etc. A little is OK, but not all the time. Drink plenty of water and only a little tea and coffee if feeling deprived. Cut right down or right out – alcohol and smoking. Oh and don’t forget the Folic Acid and Vitamin D! Hope this helps and all the best with the FET. Diane
