Anyone used melatonin’s 3mg for the ivf?

[Babytocome]

Hi,

I have read mixed reviews about using the melatonine for a couple of months before going under treatment.

Some labels says to use for a max of 5 days. And my doctor (well not much good to say about this clinic anyway) didn’t even mentioned it

Has anyone been taking it? And do you feel sleepy next day?

Thanks

I took it but a lower dose, 1.5mg, as 3mg stops me sleeping (one of those weird ones where too much has the opposite effect). I took it for a few weeks before EC-studies mostly looked at 2 weeks or a month. No studies have shown a negative effect, and most showed a positive effect, so you don’t really have anything to lose. I never find I feel especially sleepy the next day but obviously I am taking a lower dose. Xx

I took 3mg from when I started stims on my last round, so for less than 2 weeks. I wasn’t sleeping very well at the time and the melatonin didn’t seem to do anything to help that unfortunately! I don’t remember feeling sleepy the next day, and I guess if I did I just put it down to lack of sleep caused by stress. That cycle was successful, so doesn’t seem to have done any harm. Good luck with yours

I have used 3 mg for ages and had no problem coming off it.When I first started I did notice I felt sleepy the next day but that leveled out after a couple of weeks.

It makes you feel nice and relaxed.

They do say you can become dependent on it and here in Australia it’s only available by prescription for that reason.

My consultant recommended it to me. I often feel like I’ve slept better the next morning after taking it but don’t feel sleepy throughout the day. 3mg dose.

Hi Soni, I've used it for a couple of weeks but stopped because it really messed up my cycles. It can have an impact on ovulation, so if you're trying to conceive naturally you want to be mindful of that! x
