So it’s been 5 days since I had my Elonva shot and I feel normal. No bloating but I do get headache that comes and goes, but nothing too bad. I have a little tiny bruise at the injection site on my tummy, nothing like the battle scars I had during my first cycle with daily jabs. I hope it’s doing its job and my body is responding well and making lots of healthy eggs. I don’t feel like I’m cycling at all really. Maybe after our first scan it’s going to feel more real.
I’ve been researching supplements to take during this IVF cycle. I read that people usually will start at least 3 months prior to their IVF cycle but some of the supplements I’m taking now, I’ve just started them this cycle. I guess it won’t hurt to try since I don’t have the luxury of time. So here’s the list:
I hope the supplements helps with egg quality and we will get better embryos quality this time around. I hope everyone on the IVF/IUI/TTC train this cycle is getting positive results and a take home baby at the end of this journey. Babydust!!!
Love
N

Sweet. I had a talk with my doctor about supplements to take this cycle and he recommended for me to take Co Q10, he says that it helps some of his older patients who has egg quality issue. I guess it won’t hurt to try kan? Sweet, kalau you belum nak nak start cycle lagi may be it would be good to start taking it 3 months prior to your IVF cycle. I wouldn’t know if it works for me just yet though but will keep you updated.

Good luck with your cycle! I’m also taking coq10 (in ubiquinol form), hope it’ll help us getting some good eggs!
