Vitamins/supplements

Hi everyone, I'm new to the board, but I've gone through a few rounds of IVF. My last 2 cycles ended with miscarriages at 8w5d and 6w3d. Looking to change my vitamins/supplements, maybe I'm missing something, and my doctor isn't really telling me what I should and should not be taking.  

Currently taking a prenatal, vitamin d, fish oil. What are you all taking?

TIA!!

    I know that I probably sound like an ad for the book, but I highly recommend reading "It Starts with the Egg." It discusses the current studies on the supplements thought to have benefits. I'm taking most of what it recommends. Surprisingly, some that my acupuncturist recommended have been shown to have negative effects, so not all supplements are harmless. Plus, there is huge debate surrounding the use of DHEA, which many REs are recommending along with COQ10.
