Infertility

Anything to increase the odds? (child mentioned)

Morning all, 
I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of IVF and wondering if anyone had success by taking or doing anything different to increase either the chances or quality of eggs? We had 11 ER 1st time, 3 made it to a 5 day, 2 put in,1 worked. Fast forward 3 years and a failed FET, I'm ready to try again, but worry since my results were low 1st time, that they might be worse now. Since we are all out of pocket, this will be our last go. So I'm interested if anyone did anything that showed to help.
I realize the meds are what controls how many eggs, but if there is anything to help quality or I don't know, just looking for help. 
Thanks!

  • I took CoQ-10 an I swear by it, I tell everyone I know about it.  My husband also took it and his MFI improved.

  • Hi there, sorry you had to do another round of IVF. I agree w the coq10 (or ubiquinol) suggestion. It seems like a lot of people doing IVF take it. I also remember reading that diets low in saturated fat, but high in monounsaturated fats have higher success rates. Who knows if there's much truth to that, but I'm all for having a reason to eat more guacamole:) best of luck this round!

  • Thanks @chickyclg and @caitiemae for the suggestions. As for the Coq 10, when did you start it? Is there a time to stop it? Or a certain amt to take? I'm all about guacamole so I will take that advice as well.
