Ovum supplements, any good?

[Tally89]

I've been looking at Ovum supplements to help me on our TTC journey. Has anyone tried these and have they helped or a waste of money: https://startwithovum.com/

Any stories much appreciated!

Hi! Did you end up trying these? X

Hi, a bit of a late reply, but yes I tried them on my consultants advice, as my first pregnancy took 5 years to conceive. I figured ovum was cheaper than going straight to ivf, and we conceived second month of trying! Could just be coincidence, but I was impressed!

Wow that’s great! I’m looking at this or naitre and I can’t decide 🤣

I took them for three months before I started TTC last July. I then took them up until Christmas and am now having a break with a cheaper folic acid supplement, because it’s so pricey.
I’m still not pregnant but we have been told we have issues with DH’s sperm. So the Ovum might have really helped me and made me super fertile—there’s no way of telling— but it can’t do anything about DH’s poor sperm!
I am planning on starting taking it again soon just in case there’s anything wrong with me too, or we need IVF—I want to be in the best shape possible fertility-wise. It feels like a way to be a bit more in control of TTC, even if I didn’t get a miracle pregnancy from it. The scientific research behind Ovum is really strong so I feel it’s doing me good to take it.
Interested to see how others have got on with it!

@DreamingSwan did it alter your cycle at all? I’ve tried combined vitamins in the past and it did so that’s the only thing that makes me wary!

Yes, I think so—I had one late period followed by a very early one. But it may have been wedding planning stress. My period then settled into being like clockwork, so it was temporary either way!
