She has seen the results with IVF so I'd say, yes, very much so! I have no idea what the actually study was though.Originally Posted by AnnaG1

I will add that both DH and I have taken olive leaf extract for years simply for it's immune boosting effects (it's super beneficial during cold/flu season!!). However, we have two little boys so I'm assuming the OLE just helps with fertility/egg quality!!
Proud Mom to my gorgeous
2008, and 2010. Lights of my life!!
Pretesting "normal". FSH 7.5
Cycle 1: HRC Feb 10 2012
Started off slow on 225 Gonal F, 1 Meno; increased to 300 Gonal F and over responded. 27 eggs received, 19 mature, 15 fert, only 8 to GSN, all terrible quality- only one normal XY. NT. Boo.
Cycle 2: HRC May 2012
Took DHEA (only 25-50 mg/day), royal jelly, bee propolis, CoQ10. Antagonist cycle with growth hormone. Started off with 300 Gonal-F and quickly moved down to 150 Gonal-F and rode it out. 43 eggs, 35 mature, 30 fert, 9 to Day 5 GSN, 1 normal XY and two normal XX. Froze all.
July 2012 - FET at HRC, transferred 1 XX expanding blast. ???

Just reading this thread but I STRONGLY urge that people do not try and sway and go HT at the same time. Taking folic acid and Vit. C will probably not hurt anything but you want maximum fertility in both man and wife when going HT and screwing around with supps, abstain, etc. will only diminish the number of viable embryos you get at the end of the process and do NOTHING to alter gender ratio. The mechanisms that alter gender ratio take place after ejaculation and have to do with the enviro of the female reproductive tract and the overall health and numbers of sperm themselves - how long they take to capacitate, etc. You bypass ALL these things when you go IVF and put some already-capacitated sperm in with an egg. So you trade something that doesn't even sway for potentially reducing your number of viable embryos because honestly, we DON'T know how all these supps really affect sperm and most of the pink swaying tactics are not great for sperm anyway.
Also, please check with your OWN RE to see if they are ok with you taking any supps. Some REs do not want you to take a lot of supps anyway.
The only sure way to change the gender ratio of embryos when going HT is via Microsort.
DON'T sway and go HT.!!! Questions??

My research indicates that nutrients in women sway blue, not pink. Originally Posted by HopingForPigtails
