First IVF cycle begins in 2 weeks - help! I am terrified!

[Mp37]

Hello warriors,

After a year of NHS waiting it’s finally our turn to begin our first IVF cycle.

I am 37, have 5 follicles and an AMH of 2.2, the consultant advised we have less than a 5% chance of success.

I am taking the following supplements:

• Conceieve Plus Fertility Supplements

• Omega 3 1000mg

• Ubiquinol 100mg

• L-Glutathione 50mg

• NAD+

• Bio Kult Probiotic

• Zinc 25mg

I am beginning acupuncture, yoga, sound healing and womb massage. Trying to follow a Mediterranean diet too.

Does anybody have any advice for me please.

Am I missing anything that is beneficial and proven? I am absolutely terrified and want a baby so badly. I am prepared to try anything!

Thank you everyone, I feel so scared and alone in this journey. Xx

Looks like you're doing all you can! Have you read it starts with the egg? Also assuming your supplements have coq10 in and folic in? Xxx

Thank you for your reply!

Yes to both of these, the supplements don’t actually have coq10 in so I am taking ubiquinol which is the active form of q10. xx

Sounds like you are doing everything possible! I took an extra dose of vitamin D but that might be in conceive plus! Don't forget to look after yourself, maybe have some fertility counselling set up if your feeling like things are getting too much? This can usually be arranged with your clinic!

Try to find a way to try to relax, your body goes through alot, try to alleviate the pressure of your mental. Sometimes you can think you aren't doing enough and do too much, you don't want to drain yourself. Me & the bf cut out caffeine, we don't drink alcohol anyhoo, cut down on the sugary treats, improve diet & drink 2l water, i struggle with the water but try my best.
