Wheat grass pills???

in TTC after 35
I am doing IVF #2 and I go on Tuesday for blood work and should be getting off the BCPs. I am on baby aspirin, prenatal vitamins and one folic acid. I am not taking anything else. Anyone have any info on wheat grass? Did it help???? Or any other suggestions? I don't have time to do acupuncture although i am sure it would help me relax from my busy schedule.

    They say that wheat grass can improve egg quality...the problem is that they say it takes 3 months for it to make a difference.  But I say, what the hey, it can't hurt!

    I wouldn't bother with the wheat grass pills. when we were trying to have DD #1 I tried everything under the sun prior to our fertility treatments to get pg - raspberry tea leaves, all different vitamins, preseed, acu, etc. Honestly looking back on it I feel like it added more stress, not took it away. It had me focusing on TTC constantly because of everything I was taking/doing. It wound up taking us 2 yrs to successfully get pg with DD #1 and that was with IVF #1. when i did the IVF that time I didn't take/do anything other than the fertility meds and prenatals.

     With DD #2 my approach was way different than the first time. I think a huge part of it though was because we already were blessed with DD #1 and I didn't feel the same pressure to get pg - nor did I have the time to concentrate on TTC as much as i did the first time. We tried on our own for 2 months and then i went back to RE for an IVF - that failed. the next month, a break cycle, i used my old CBEFM and we got pg naturally. will be having DD #2 in June.

      best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

    I got some wheat grass pills at Whole foods, I couldnt stomach the shots! Even the pills smell to be honest LOL but I had read online that it does help with FSH and egg quality. Im not sure if they are doing anything for me just yet...and the bottle says to take 3 pills/day, and I take 1 or 2. :)
