low carb and quality
Dr. Potter,
How does a low carb diet effect quality. If there is a chromosome issue how could a low carb diet change that? Or does the low carb diet help eggs that have normal chromosomes survive to testing more efficiently?Cycle#1 Jan/Feb 2013: 10 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 8 fertilized. 1 expanded blast frozen to batch.
Cycle #2 May/June 2013: 17 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 11 fertilized, 3 blasts frozen. Sending all 4 to Natera: 2 normals- 1 girl (cycle 2) & 1 boy (cycle 1)
Cycle #3 September 2013: 11 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 8 fertilized. 4 biopsied. 2 normal boys
FET #1: October 25th: BFN
Cycle#4: Feb/March 2014: 12 eggs retrieved, 11 mature, 10 fertilized. 1 normal XX! Transfer March 3rd. BFP: 3/9/14!!!! Beta: 7dp6dt:38, 9dp6dt:139!, 6weeks 1 day: heartbeat!!!
She's here and I'm in love

I understand it helps by lowering insulin levels. Does the lower insulin level help embryos that are normal be a better quality/grade? And/or does it help normals not arrest prematurely?

I did extreme low carb under Dr Potter and got fantastic results. My quality massively improved. I did <20 g a day. Atkins induction. The key is to get your body into Ketosis. You can do urine dip sticks to see if you have ketones.
