Success after IF

Royal Jelly?

Just popping in from the infertility board to see if anyone had success with this.

Acupuncturist recommended it, RE said it couldn't hurt. On the one hand, I'll do anything to improve my chances of being successful. On the other, I am sick and tired of pills and supplements and don't want to add one more thing to my regimen simply because it "couldn't hurt."

Thanks so much!

    I did take royal jelly in coordination with all my other supplements and acu for IVF, since it's supposed to help egg quality and I am DOR. I can't say how much it helped, but it can't hurt and it tastes good. I just had baby #2 from FET.

    Good luck! If you aren't already taking wheat grass, that's another supplement I took that is supposed to be really good for egg quality.
    IVF, acupuncture, meditation and a miracle.

  • Thanks! I'll get some this week. I guess if it can't hurt, I might as well add something else to the mix!

  • I take royal jelly now in preparing for my next IVF cycle...also took it in preparation for my last IVF cycle, which my son is the result of.  I don't know what was behind the success (the gazillion supplements, the gazillion meds, the acupuncture, the lap, etc.) but whatever it was it worked so why not this time around!
