Co Q-10, Wheat Grass, DHEA, Royal Jelly

Has anyone tried any of these to increase egg quality? I am not 100% sure what the wheatgrass is supposed to do, but I think the others are said to increase egg quality.  I guess I'm skeptical because we are born with all the eggs we are ever going to have and so if they have been in our bodies doesn't that mean their composition is what it is?  Or is there a way to increase the quality as the egg matures and drops out of the follicle?  If so, has anyone had any experience with co-q10, wheatgrass, dhea, or royal jelly? Did you think it helped with the quality at all?

I took all of RJ and CoQ10 for IVF2 and yes, EQ was much better.  I also did acupuncture and changed the protocol from antagonist to agonist.  I believe it was the combination of these things that helped increase quality for us. 

For IVF3 I am doing all of the above and have also been on DHEA (75mg) for 6 weeks (so far). 

GL!

I am already stimming, do you think it's too late? Where did you get the royal jelly? Will whole foods have it?

Yes, it is too late.

The generaly rule of thumb is 3 months - the time it for an egg to develop in preparation for ovulation.

I get my royal jelly from a bee keeper - go straight to the source.  I have also seen it at acupunture clinics although this would be a refined form and yes, I believe you can get it at some health food stores, but again, this will most likely be a refined form.

My RE put me on DHEA about 3 months ago because studies have shown your egg quality improves. I take 25 mg 3 times per day. Im gearing up for IVF, so I can let you know in a few weeks if it worked. I am not going to do acupuncture until IVF2 if its needed. One thing at a time for me.... GL to you. Ask your RE.

If you are already stimming it s too late. I have been doing Royal Jelly, DHEA, wheatgrass, and just started melatonin.
