me and my partner have been taking pregnacare his and her. I’m looking to change to either conceive + or proceive?

Can anyone recommend any others? I’m soon to start round 4 of ivf and extra tips/advise would be lovely ❤️🌈

I personally took vitamn D, b12 complex with folic acid, omega and ubiquinol to improve egg quality, all except the ubiquinol were prescribed by my consultant. I took the ubiquinol straight up to EC day and the stopped, bit carried on with the others.

What vitamins and supplements have you consultant suggested?

Best of luck with this round! 🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞🤞🌻🌻🌻

For fresh round, I was recommended 200mg cq10 by consultant (I think it was a bit throw everything at this round rather than he thought it might help). I did get better quality blasts but also changed the meds so who knows if it helped!!!

I take pregnacare, vit d, off my own back and insitol as recommended by clinic for pcos at the moment for hopeful frozen transfer in a week or so.

Oh and I take omega 3 but that’s because I’m a long term veg and eat little diary.

Hope that helps and best of luck this time!

If your not already taking them I would recommend that you both add coenzyme q10 to your daily vitamins. My clinic recommend taking them for our 3 cycle and we had such better results than our first 2 ones. Good luck

Our consultant recommended we took Impryl for us both instead of something like Pregnacare. He also recommended for me Co enzyme Q10 300mg (but I take 600mg) and DHEA (because I have diminished ovarain) and Vitamin D and Omega 3 and extra e-methyl folate (as I have issues absorbing folic acid). In addition, a fertility nutritionitionist, changed the type of Omega 3 I take and increased the dose as I am long time vegetarian (who occasionally now eats fish) and added Inositol and Nicotinamide Riboside and Iodine. I would recommend speaking to your consultant, reading It Starts With The Egg and speaking to fertility nutritionist about your specific needs
