My first ivf cycle got cancelled due to covid (egg collection would have been about now) so I’m in the same boat as a lot of people. I’m trying to get ideas if there’s anything else I can do to maximise chances once the clinic opens again.
I’m in normal BMI range, don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol at all, don’t drink much caffeine, try to get at least 5 fruit and veg a day, drink lots of water, eat nuts every day, and take folate, coq10, fertility multi vit, DHA and EPA and alpha lipoid acid. I’m also not stressed just now except the stress of infertility and when I’m in a lot of pain from endometriosis. I was listening to a podcast on infertility and it suggested optimise BMI, don’t smoke, reduce alcohol, take vitamins but also get a thyroid test. They said you can ask your GP for this.
I don’t have any major symptoms of thyroid disorder (I’m a bit tired but who isn’t) can I really just rock up to my gp (after lockdown is over obviously, I know this isn’t urgent) and ask for a thyroid test? Has anyone done this without having symptoms of thyroid disorder?
