Supplements during IVF cycle?

Question

What kind of supplements are people taking and is anyone seeing a difference? I've been reading about taking COQ10 and it helping. I already take that but was wondering if there's anything else, even foods that anyone can suggest? Thanks!

Answer

Coq10 + prenatal + vit D (I'm deficient) + dha

All rec'd by my RE

Answer

I took CoQ10 but only up until I started meds. During stims I only take what my dr tells me to. Some herbal supplements affect hormones and could affect response to stimulation. I just read a great book called "It starts with the egg". In the book she says any supplementation should be stopped at the time of stimulation meds.

Answer

Thanks! Yes of course I would never take anything without speaking to the Dr. Since I was already taking the COq10 we had gone over that and she said it was fine to continue it until being pregnant. I also take fish oil and probiotics which she approved. I take some other herbal supplements which she said I could continue but I chose not to just because it's always good to give those a rest for a few weeks here and there and it just made it easier to not have to remember to be taking them.

Answer

I'd ask your doctor. The last thing you want to do is interfere with any of your IVF meds.
