    Hi ,

    fish oil

    royal jelly/bee pollen

    Wheat-grass

    FUR-false unicorn root

    I think your list looks okay and having done IVF, I used many of these supps in advance of our cycle. The only contraindicator I found was false unicorn root can cause uterine contractions in some but other than that, your list looks fine to me and I am not aware of anything that would conflict with the meds. You can ask your RE to be sure because we are not doctors!

    I am so sorry about your miscarriage. The only other supplement that you could think about/ask your RE about is DHEA. It is used in people that have DOR or older patients with egg quality issues. I used it for my IVF cycle and I know of others on IG that have used it- one natural pregnancy in an older mom recently. It needs to be taken for some time in advance to help though so don't add it now.

    Good luck and I hope you get your boy!

    So sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

    The FUR will contradict you meds so you can't take that and even though the Gelatin and TT raises your testosterone I don't think they would interfere with a medicated cycle.

    Good luck!!
    Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
    ^^^That is exactly what I did and everything has FINALLY worked out for the best. I couldn't be more happier in my life than I am right now with these 2 blessings that were brought into my life.
