IVF Question

[Anonymous]

For those of you who had a successful IVF and took vitamin supplements leading up to your IVF....

Did you stop them when you started to stim?

If you did take some during stimming, what were they?

I was told that some RE's prefer you stop taking them when you start to stim, just taking the prenatal.

Thanks!

I'm in my 1st ivf cycle now, but have been taking additional supplements as well. I asked my RE and she said they were fine, but to stop taking them after retrieval.

Op here: I've been taking E, B complex, Omega 3s, CQ 10, and ISO_OPC (an antioxidant powder) as well as a baby aspirin. The aspirin was on my doctors suggestion.

Thanks guys! My RE will have me start the baby aspirin when I start my Lupron.

Ive done ivf more than 4 times. Take only the vitamins etc. that your doctor prescribes. supplements can have affects on estrogen levels etc. also remember, certain foods can interact with the regimin (e.g. soy products are phytoestrogens - not good during a cycle. caffeine is a nono, tumeric effects estrogen levels)

hope that helps,
good luck.
