Supplements / Vitamins etc etc

I know many of you ladies are on lots of different supplements and vitamins preparing for IVF/IUI, myself included. Do you continue thru your cycle (stims) and still take everything, or do you stop at a certain point?

Can you share what you guys are taking?

Re: Supplements / Vitamins etc etc

I took everything through stims and trigger. Once the trigger was done, the egg was no longer developing so any help it got had already happened. In addition to regular pre-natals, I took:


Maxi-greens
Maxi-antioxidants
Royal jelly
Bee pollen
Melatonin

I was also on prescribed Metformin and dexamethasone.

When I was cycling with Dr B I was told to take everything up until the day of retrieval and then stop. But back then I wasn't taking the fish oil so I'm not sure about that one. I take the following: wheatgrass, royal jelly with bee polen, maxigreens, coenzyme Q10, omega 3 fish oil, prenatal vitamins. I take all this to improve high FSH/egg qualiity. Oh, and I also used to take melatonin but I stopped.

To help my lining, I take vitamin e through stim and during 2ww (Dr.B says by the time I'm in the 2ww it already did its job but if I want to continue it I could. .. the cycle I got pregnant, I took it the whole 2ww)
