Vitamins/supplements when preparing for IVF

[LittleAm]

Hello! I’m new here. Long story short, I have had a miscarriage in the last month. This was our longed for IVF baby. I’m 39 and we have 4 embryos in storage, and we can have a frozen transfer in January.
i want to improve my fitness and eat better, take some control of the things I can. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of supplements/vitamins to take in addition to folic acid? I currently take pregnacare which has the recommended dose of folic acid & vitamin D, but trying to research if there’s anything I’m missing out on.
thanks

I’m so sorry to hear your sad news. It really is devastating isn’t it :( I’m the same, 39 and had a miscarriage end of August at 8 weeks after our first IVF transfer. We luckily have another frozen which I’m hoping we can continue with soon. My next telephone appointment is tomorrow so will know more. Can I ask why you've been given a January date? Is that your choice or your clinics. I was hoping to start again asap but now think I might not be allowed too. Xx

Hi @SH998 im so very sorry about your loss. We are are on the NHS and the clinic is so busy that’s the next available slot they have. Good luck!

It depends on your body and reasons for your infertility, so the best thing is to ask your clinic as they know you.

I just take wellwoman which has everything I need because our issues are male factor. Really the only thing most people need above a healthy diet are folic acid/ vit D.

But if you have female factor issues then you may want something else and that will be individual to you.
