When to Stop DHEA

For those using supplements prior to egg collection, (such as DHEA, Melatonin and CoQ10 etc.) can I ask when you stopped them?

Did you continue until positive test, or stop before embryo transfer?

I was told to stop the CoQ10 the day of my last scan, when they gave me the ok for the trigger. I continued with the prenatal vitamin complex and vitamin D until test day.

Coq10 before egg collection and melatonin before I started injections

But Coq10 helps in implantation so can have low dose !

which prenatal vitamins complex you are taking

pregnacare

Before pregnancy one or during pregnancy

Because going to transfer soon

I was specifically told by the clinic to stop taking it. The effects it can have on implantation and pregnancy are not well studied and they don't recommend taking it

Ok am going to start pregancare by now

so I can only take pregancare and vitamin D

the only thing that is recommended is folic acid. Vitamin D helps, but it is already including the pregnacare conception so you don't need to add more of it. I did cause I have a deficiency. CoQ10 is supposed to improve egg quality, so it's given before retrieval (for at least 3-4 months). This said, these are supplements, the science and the power of what they can do is not fully clear, except for folic acid. For the rest, do what you can, eat healthy, move, keep hydrated and stay positive. There's no magic pill, unfortunately.

totally agree 👍 with you

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week

Ovulation

If I had sex yesterday (Saturday) n my ovulation date is on Tuesday is it possible I could get pregnant?

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx

At 8DPO negative test result

At 8 DPO not even a faint line , a straight negative test . So does that means it’s a no pregnancy for me this month . Or there are future chances for hcg to rise

Could this be like my ovulation is about to start from this ovulation test

I had my period on the 15 of march and my cycle is 23 days from the picture will be that I’m ovulating

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.
