IVF cycle 3- 2 quick questions/advice

Hope I can ask some advise from you lovely ladies! Starting cycle 3 soon, we have MFI and end up with poor quality embryos by day 5, so could be egg issue too.
I have been taking egg quality supplements but wondering if I stop them during stims or carrying on? Taking melatonin and co q 10 fish oil and pregnacare multivitamin.
Secondly is there any advise for frequency of ejaculation in the run up to our egg collection? I'm hearing conflicting things about this, some people saying frequent ejaculation others every 2-3 days and to abstain just before the egg collection for at least 2 days.

Hi there - I usually stopped the coq10 after transfer and just stuck with a pre conception vitamin - Proceive max for women

In terms of abstaining my clinic said no more than 5 days before sample day but really that was too long and should be 36-48 hours to reduce chance of dna fragmentation
