[quote=Anonymous]on our own we supplemented with:
- prenatal vitamins
- fish oil (nordic naturals ultimate omega - 4g/day for NK cells)
- vitamin C - 1000mg (ascorbic acid)
- vitamin D - 1000 IU
- vitamin E - 400 IU
- vitamin B12 - 1000mcg
- women's iron support - 800mcg folate (switch to folic acid in luteal phase 800mcg)
- CoQ10 - 30mg
- grape seed extract - 100mg
- baby aspirin - 81mg
- ginger - can't remember details
- bromelain (500mg) for 1 week after ET 
- DH took Proceptin and multivitamin 3 months before cycle (ideally)
- anti-inflammatory diet to help with endometriosis & elevated natural killer cells (avoid red meat, wheat, dairy, trans/satuated fats, yogurt, refined carbs, yolks, caffeine, chocolate); leaving hormone-free chicken, salmon, berries, walnuts, olives, veggies, lentils, herbal teas, water (organic where possible)

through the help of our RE:
- co-culture - help uterine env (similar to endometrial biopsy - look up research for this) plus beneficial to embryo
- acupuncture before & after ET (german study)
- steroids & antibiotics (to reduce inflammation/immune response and infection)
- progesterone/estrodial support during 2WW (for medicated cycles)
- thyroid meds (be sure your TSH is down near 1-2)
- DH took antibiotics before cycle too

The biggest change we made:
- get a second opinion sooner than later
