What is Q10 used for? I just did a quick google search and it says egg quality?

What are you taking? I feel I am loading up, but haven't talked to the RE about it, taking a break after last BFN cycle.


Let's see if I can even remember...

- Prenatal
- DHEA
- Ubiquinol
- R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
- N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
- PQQ
- L'Arginine
- Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen/Propolis blend
- Myo-Inositol powder
- Spirulina
- Vitamin B6
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Fish oil
- Antioxidant supplement
- 5-MTHF because I am terrified of birth defects
- Was recently taking Maca but ran out and didn't get more... I will probably follow suit a couple others once I run out

I know,


Have you experienced any side effects? I had one episode of dizzyness and blurred vision after starting Q10 and DHEA.


You would think I would, but other than feeling slightly queasy one morning, I can't say I've felt anything different one way or another. I think Q10 can give you the jitters so I would guess that's what did it for you. Maybe lower your dosage if you want to take it again? I think it's one of the more important supplements that I take, FWIW.

PP with the ridiculous list here. This is comforting -- congrats to you.

Oops my comment got deleted. I said glad I'm not alone! My husband thinks I am nuts. Does your RE want you to stop taking everything after transfer? My RE hasn't said anything about it but I'm worried it's too much.


Sorry, just saw this. My last retrieval was a disaster with nothing making it to blast, so I haven't had the convo with my RE yet. I think it's safe to take through maybe a couple days before transfer, maybe with the exception of DHEA and anything that has a strong warning on the bottle about not taking when pregnant. I think REs are very dismissive of the whole supplement conversation. I don't care that much if it's not going to hurt my chances, but if there is anything that is questionable, I really want to know, given all the effort I am putting into this. I might bring it up again, on that note.

No, but I asked before I started them and they said it was fine.

Did your MD advise you to take these vitamins?

Is it possible to take too many vitamins? I asked my nurse and she said sure it's fine but I don't think she's taking me seriously. Right now I take:

AM:
Vitamin B complex
Vitamin E
Vitamin D (about 2-3 times a week)

PM:
Pre natal

I am trying to thicken my lining so that's why I loaded up on B and E. I am taking D occasionally because I feel tired all the time and last blood work in the winter said D was low. I know it's summer now and I'm getting it from the sun but I still feel tired.

I plan to stop all vitamins (except prenatal) after the transfer.

Thanks!
