What's your supplement regimen?

dimples128

Farmerlynda's post below got me thinking more about a vitamin/supplement regimen.  After 2 MTX shots, I'll be waiting until June/July before moving into IUI #3 and I would like to change up my current regimen.  Here's my questions - what is your vitamin/supplement routine and what are the dosages? 

BAKERMOMHDS

25mg DHEA x2 daily

500mg L-arganine x2 daily

3mg Folic Acid once daily

Prescription prenatal with DHA once daily

Co-Q 10 500mg x2 daily

OPC -100 (pycnogenol and grape seed) 1mg per body weight daily

2000 IU Vitamin D3 daily

HOLY SMOKES!! Typing it all out I feel like such a loser..I'm old.

25mg DHEA x3 daily

1000mg L-arganine x2 daily

800mg Folic Acid once daily

Prenatal

Co-Q 10 300mg x1 daily

Royal Jelly 1000mg/day

Inositol 500mg/day

Good to know!

I guess I keep things pretty simple.

PNV

Calcium 1200mg daily

Vitamin D 50,000 units once a week

 After this script for the vit D is done I am switching to a calcium/vit d combo. I was taking folic acid 1 mg daily in addition to the PNV but it gave me crippling headaches so that was cut from the list!

It depends on your dx, and supplements targeted to help one issue can be really bad for another, so know what they're for and ask your RE, DHEA in particular.

25mg DHEA x3 daily  (I stop with stims)

1000mg L-arganine x2 daily

800mg Folic Acid once daily  (I take 4mg daily per RE's order bc of MTFR)

Prenatal with DHA

Co-Q 10 300mg x1 daily  (I take 200 mg daily)

Royal Jelly 1000mg/day  (I took this for awhile and stopped for no particular reason)

Wheat Grass

Inositol 500mg/day  (I take this twice daily)

MACA - 1tsp day

EDIT: I have the same RE as you and he was cool with the above too!

 

  I also take a B-complex vitamin one tablet daily

Melatonin 3 mg at night--I take until I start stims.

Here is a great website that lists some supplements!

I have to agree with Edwina--I'd check with your Re regarding any supplements you take

Ditto to this! I gave my list as an indication, not as a Rx.

Interesting, I was told to stay on DHEA and I tried the Melatonin thing but my RE was not into it. I keep it now for when I travel for work to get to sleep for the first few nights!

I definitely wasn't asking for a RX. Just wanted to get an idea of the different regimens you guys had.  Since I'm out of the game for a few months, I just wanted to get an idea of what to ask my RE about.  I'll be seeing him tomorrow hopefully my last beta test and asking him about what I can do in the meantime.

My dx is in my siggy.  My daily regimen is:

Synthroid

Vitamin C 500mg

L-Arginine 1000mg (twice a day)

CoQ10 200mg (3 times a day)

Inositol 1000mg (twice a day)

Baby Aspirin

Vitamin E 200IU

DHEA 25mg (will probably be increasing to twice a day soon)

Pycnogenol 100mg

Vitamin B-6 100mg

Omega 3 (EPA/DHA combined minimum of 500mg)

 

DH is on:

Vitamin C 500mg

CoQ10 200mg

Vitamin B-6 100mg

Vitamin B-12 500mcg

Dong Quai 530mg

Maca 500mg

L-Carnitine 1000mg

Vitamin E 200IU

Acetyl L-Carnitine 500mg

Selenium 100 mcg

Zinc 30mg

Folic Acid 800mcg

Clomid 17.5mg

 

Like PP said, check with your RE.  Mine recommended most everything I'm taking and we cleared everything with our Uro too.  For DH, we mostly took everything that was in Fertility Blend/Fertil Aid/ProXeed and bought it all individually.  Doing it that way allows us to play with the amounts he actually gets since each varies.  HTH or at least a little food for thought.

I hope that you did not take that that was what I was saying, just trying to caveat my answer in case readers took it as gospel.

As I said, we have the same RE so at least you know that he is cool for trying supps. A tip, ask the office for what they can sell as they sell high quality supps and I felt HE was more into what the girls in the office had rather than me shopping at Whole Foods. GL tomorrow!

Definitely didn't take it that way.  Just wanted to clarify.  I'll be sure to ask that tomorrow.  Hadn't thought about asking what they sell so that's great to know.
