Is it worth taking extra vitamin C?

Hi everyone, I am planning to do Medicated FET in January and wondered if anyone could please give me some advice.

Is it worth taking extra vitamin C?

I am now taking the following supplements.

- Proceive

- extra Vitamin D (2000 IU)

- Optibac (two a day)

I’m going to start taking these few weeks before a transfer day.

- Vitamin E (400 IU = 268mg)

- Proceive Omega 3

- Vaginal probiotics (Canesflor/Intra Fresh Plus)

Proceive contains 150mg vitamin C but do you think it is better to take extra vitamin C during treatment to boost chance?

I looked it up on Google and it seems 500mg-1000mg vitamin C is good, but has anyone taken extra Vitamin C and got pregnant?

If so, when and how much did you take?

Thank you for your help!

I take 1000mg a day up until the day before egg collection. 500mg is in my ovum and then I take 500mg additional.

I’ve had 3 positive pregnancy tests.. all miscarriages but they’ve all been from frozen transfers. I don’t take that much vitamin c when i’m preparing for FET I just have what ever is in my pre natal (I take cytoplan pregnaplan post transfer) xx

I didn't take any extra vitamin C. I took exactly what you are taking (minus the vitamin C) and currently 16 weeks pregnant from my medicated FET. 😊
