Supplements after EC

Hi all,

I've been taking co enzyme q10, omega 3, and pregnacare supplements. I had EC today and just wondering do I now stop taking the Co enzyme q10 and omega 3?? Or should I carry on until embryo transfer....or even keep taking them during the 2ww?

Thanks x

there’s no harm in continuing the supplements after EC but from the day of transfer stick to only the pregnacare. Best of luck xx

I just take pregnacare after egg collection as the egg growing part already done 🤗 and there’s enough other stuff we start to take 🤪 but I think it’s personal choice xx

Our consultant told us to stop the Coenzyme Q10 after egg collection because it was unnecessary but also potentially harmful. I continued with Vitamin D and all else but switched to pregnancy vitamins only after embryo transfer. Good luck!
