| If it's an FET, there isn't anything you can do about improving egg quality with your diet, but your best bet is probably eating foods that are low carb, low sugar, high protein. Try to eat organic - lots of super foods that are brightly colored. If you can take wheat grass, that's often helpful, along with sipping warm bone broth. Try to eat warm foods only and the pineapple core after transfer (but at some point you're supposed to stop with pineapple). |

| your eggs take 3 months to mature. If you're starting now then the diet will not have any effect. |

| it's a fresh cycle, not FET. do the eggs take 3 months to mature even when you've been doing FET cycles before hand, so not ovulating any? The last 2 cycles have been FET, which both failed, so I am starting a new fresh to recruit new eggs. |

9:58 here - sorry, I misread the thread title and thought it was FET. But the PP is right - it takes a few months for the eggs that you'll produce for this cycle to mature. Hopefully you've been making good choices over the past few months since you were also doing transfers?
I'd still give the same advice as in my previous post - low sugar, low carb, high protein, warm foods, super foods, all organic if possible. DW saw the most notable difference in AF count with addition of a lot of protein (specifically chicken and eggs) and with adding exercise. We also do accupressure every other night at home and she meditates using a fertility app (I know you didn't ask for advice outside of diet, but if you're taking a holistic approach....) |

| Yes, OP here. I actually did gluten free the last month, and I do low carb already. Lots of salmon, brussell sprouts, asparagus, spinach, turkey breast, etc. mostly organic. lots of nuts. I take coQ10 last 2 months, I also take prenatal, and prenatal fish oil (Nordic Naturals prenatal DHA). Wondering about royal jelly, L-arginine, etc. etc., but seems overkill? |
