What else are you doing besides meds???? Here's my list...

I figured this could give other girls here an idea of what they can add to their own regimen. It can't hurt, right?

Vitamins/Supplements taking:

Prenatals
Vitamin E 400 i/u
Vitamin C 1000 mg
DHEA 50mg
Royal Jelly 1000 mg
Vitamin B-12 500 mcg
Omega-3 1100 mg
Blue Green Algae
Wheat Grass pills
CoQ-10 150 mg
Pycnogenol 50 mg
L-Arginine 500 mg
Digestion enzymes

Special Diet:

No caffeine or alcohol
No/very little sugar
No preservatives
Hormone- and antibiotic-free meat
Mostly organic/whole food
Drink lots of water

Other:

Acupuncture
Yoga
Meditation

Most of this is from a book called “The Infertility Cure” by Randine Lewis (not sure if I spelled her name right). Great book, gave me hope. My RE gave the OK for the supplements, thankfully.

I just really cut out caffiene after transfer. If it doesn't work out this time I may consider acupunture.

Re: What else are you doing besides meds???? Here's my list...

My RE does not want me to take anything other than what they are telling me to take. I've just cut out artificial sweetners (not that I ever used alot to begin with) and caffiene.

I'm also doing acupuncture this cycle.

Prenatals
Acupuncture
Drinking lots of water (or trying to at least)
Once I start my BCP's for my IVF cycle, I will cut out caffeine and no more alcohol.

I'm also trying to eat better. Cutting out sweets to loose some weight.

DH is taking horny goat weed to help up his sperm count.

The only other thing I take is prenatal vitamins + a DHA supplement. I also go to they gym 3-4 times a week, but thats not for TTCing.

Re: What else are you doing besides meds???? Here's my list...

Not really doing much...taking prenatals everyday.

Don't usually drink caffiene or much alcohol so I haven't changed that.

Been trying to exercise every day which is a big change for me.

Eating more veggies and fruit.

Re: What else are you doing besides meds???? Here's my list...

OK here's what I'm doing (if I can remember it all) (though I just got my teeth whitened and now i'm restricted on what I can take, since I"m a wimp and cannot swallow a pill):

Pre-natal vitamins (chewable, of course)
Wheat Grass Powder
Fish Oil (pharmaceutical grade)
Grape Seed Extract
Red raspberry leaf tea
Friendly fiber powder (for other reasons)
Anti-oxidant juices
No raw or cold foods
No processed foods
No sugar (other than what is in fruit)
No coffee/caffeine/alcohol (had to give up leaded years ago)
Yoga and walking
Lots of steamed green veggies (I used to be a vegetarian for years, so its' easy for me)
Acupuncture
We were making fresh juices (carrots, celery and apple) but we stopped one day and that was that
Cut down on past and any bleached white flour
High fiber grains
