Egg quality and how to improve

Hey everyone just had my follow up today from a failed IVF in June with only one 1cc embryo transfer from 7 fertilised eggs. They’ve said due to my age (37) that my egg quality is poor and that I could try supplements to improve this for next time we try again in 3 months. They’ve suggested DHEA and CoQ10. Has anyone been in the same situation and been able to improve the quality of eggs for successful result and what did you take ?

Hey Zara, I took Dhea for 2 months, I was on coq10 took vitamin d, prenatal and I was taking melatonin as well. I was able to get 10 fertilized eggs and out of that 5 good embryos which I had genetically tested. I would suggest starting the vitamins and coq10 doing it for a minimum of 3 months and in total and then doing a retrieval.

Always on high dose of Coq10 and we always produced top ranked embryos (last cycle 2 5AA both PGT normal and I’m 40). You can read ‘it starts with the egg’ very informative book about supplements that really do work for both you and your partner. Really helped us a lot.

Hi. My doctor had me on coq10 600mg, prenatal, fish oil, myo inositol faithfully daily. Also I started eating more fruits with beets to increase my iron. I would make smoothies. I tried eating healthier as well. Having more salads. I was doing all this for a few months before we dived into ivf this year. I used to always eat crappy and never really exercised. Doctor also had me do 30 minutes of something daily so I would walk/jog mostly walk lol about 1-3 miles depending how I felt that day.

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!
