Nutrition during TTC

[Winnie_38]

I’ve been on this rollercoaster for over a year now taking all the supplements, following Mediterranean diet plans, exercising and doing everything else possible to support IVF. I was given a recommendation by my consultant to try fruit rich in magnesium and antioxidants and have been drinking cacao fruit juice daily. It may be coincidental or a combination of everything I’m doing but I’ve seen an increase in my AMH and AFC and recent egg collection resulted in 6 mature eggs whereas in my last 2 cycles I’ve only managed 1!! To say I’m thrilled is an understatement. I’m sure it’s not a silver bullet but worth a try for others like me. If you’d like more details DM me and I’m happy to share xx

Hi Oti, a definite change in nutrition and the addition of a particular juice drink which I’ve never tried before. I’ll DM you the info xx

I’d love some more info on what has helped 😊

Hi MontsJ

So I think it’s probably down to a mixture of things but the biggest change I made was drinking the cacaofruit juice which I’m convinced did something. Also after my last failed collection in October which was awful, I hunkered down and took my nutrition and overall fitness super seriously. I was actually starting donor egg treatment but when I went for my baseline uterus scan they noticed the increase in follicles and suggested one last OE try. It was my private fertility consultant (separate to my clinic) that had suggested juice from a cacao juice brand a couple of months ago, as they don’t add lots of extra stuff, has natural antioxidants and it’s quite gentle on the tummy. I’ll send the name privately as conscious we are not allowed to mention on a public post.

I eat 140-150g of protein per day and I do weightlifting twice per week, yoga twice per week and cardio (netball) once per week. For my prior egg collections I’d only done yoga and walking the dog.

In terms of supplements each day I used…

Coq-10 x4 softgels

Omega 3 vegan softgels x2

Lipoic acid x1Hello!

Fertility vitamin x2 per day

iron x1 sachet

Vitamin E drops x3
