Re: Trying To Conceive A Child? TTC by missingribs: 11:06pm On Dec 11, 2016 |
Beetle: Saw this on the Fertilitfriends website. Please find below a list of vitamins and supplement for improving your chances of conceiving for both men and women. I have collated information from hours of online research and hopefully have the majority of the latest info added here, as well as the required dosages (often in ranges as usage varies even with the experts!). Please though note that I am not a doctor and this is what I took (and it worked for me), so feel free to do more of your own research and adjust to what suits you and your partner. Please also feel free to add further info if you come across something. I have kept it simple as I often find there is just too much info to wade through, when you just want answers, but if you do google searches, you will find more info on all. As both eggs and sperm take around 3 months to make, it is advisable to start taking most of these 3 months prior to conceiving/treatment. General info for both: Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day (very very important). Drink lots of green tea (for the antioxidants), but don’t drink with iron or folic acid as tannin inhibits absorption. No caffeine -even decaf coffee/tea contains some caffeine – rather stick to herbal teas (and make sure these are true herbal teas and not black tea flavoured). No alcohol. No smoking. Try and eat organic food or at least non genetically modified food. Get some exercise to improve blood flow and wellbeing. Avoid strong chemicals and try and use natural products for skin (coconut oil for moisturiser) and general household (e.g. white vinegar for cleaning). If using a lubricant – use egg white rather than store bought ones as the latter may damage sperm. For Women, these are the most important ones, on a daily basis, take: Zinc 15 mg. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Critical to the rapid development of the egg within the follicle especially with IVF where many eggs are developing at the same time. Helps prevent miscarriages. Vitamin C: 500mg - 750mg. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Corrects luteal-phase-defect as it boosts progesterone and oestrogen levels. Improves pregnancy rates and helps prevents miscarriages. Too much Vitamin C can dry up cervical mucous Vitamin E: 200 IUIs. Take prior to conception. Improves egg quality Vitamin D : Between 1500 IUIs - 2000 IUIs . Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Ideal level for improved fertility is between 50 - 80 ng/ml of Vitamin D in your blood. Vitamin D3 is best form of the vitamin. Ensure that you also have taken Vitamin A and K to balance the Vitamin D. Improves fertility. Not more than 4000 IUIs per day. Very high levels (240000 IUIs) shown to reduce fertility. Problems arise when you have too much vitamin D and too little vitamins A and K Vitamin B6: 10mg per day. Take with other B vitamins to help with the absorption - especially B12. Can increase to 50mg when short term booster is needed. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Zinc helps absorption. Lengthens luteal phase and helps produce progesterone. The set tolerable upper limit is 100mgs per day. Higher doses can cause nerve ending damage. B6 can disguise a B12 deficiency/anaemia, so increase your B12 if taking higher doses of B6. Higher levels of B12 (than the RDA) are safe to take. Do not take more than 100mgs unless prescribed by a doctor. Higher doses should only be taken for a short term period Vitamin B complex – take a multivitamin with around the RDA of each in it. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Balances out hormones and encourages pregnancy. Listed here are the RDAs for females: Vitamin B1 (thiamine) 1.1mg Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) 1.1mg Vitamin B3 (niacin or niacinamide) 14mg Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) 5mg Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, or pyridoxamine, or pyridoxine hydrochloride) 1.3mg Vitamin B7 (biotin) 30mcg Vitamin B9 (folic acid) 400mcg Vitamin B12 (various cobalamins; commonly cyanocobalamin in vitamin supplements) 2.4mcg Vitamin A: 700IUIs – 900IUIs. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Promotes better cervical fluid. Assists the follicles in maturing properly. Contains important antioxidants. Important for DNA replication. Do not exceed this dose (so if included in a multivitamin, do not take extra). Avoid the synthetic version of vitamin A - high levels (10,000 IUs + a day) have been shown to increase the chances of birth defects Selenium: 100ug twice a day = total 200ug. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Promotes implantation, prevents miscarriage. Don't exceed dose as can be toxic Myo-Inositol: 2g twice a day = total 4g (2000mg) per day. Taken from 3 months prior to conception. Improves egg quality. Helps restore fertility in woman with PCOS. https://sites.google.com/site/miscarriageresearch/supplements-and-miscarriage/d-chiro-inositol Melatonin: 3mg per day taken at night. Take for 1-3 months prior to conception. Improves egg quality by reducing the level of an oxidizing agent called 8-OHdG. Don’t take long term. L'Arginine: 500mg - 2000mg per day (i.e. 0.5g - 2g). Take for 1-3 months prior to conception. Improves egg quality and uterine blood flow. DHEA: 25mg three times per day = total 75mg. Start on lower doses and build up. Start taking at least 3 months prior to conception (I found 6 months better). Stop at pregnancy (or EC in IVF). Improves egg quality. Usually for older ladies (40yrs+) with diminished ovarian reserves Iron: 14mg. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Take with Vitamin C. Tannin inhibits the absorption, so don't take with drinks that contain tannin e.g. green tea. A deficiency can reduce fertility by 50% Folic acid (= Vitamin B9): 400 micrograms (0.4 milligrams) twice a day = total 800ug. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Tannin inhibits the absorption, so don't take with drinks that contain tannin e.g. green tea. Folic acid, sometimes called folate, is a B vitamin (B9) found mostly in leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach, orange juice, and enriched grains. Taken prior to conception and during early pregnancy reduces the risk of a serious neural tube defect in the baby by up to 70%. May increase pregnancy rates and prevent miscarriages. Can take up to 4000 micrograms per day prescribed if family history of neural defects Fish oil (Omega Oil/essential fatty acids): 1g - 5g per day (i.e. about 200mg - 1000mg). Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy. Can take some flax seed and some fish oil tablets. Anti-inflammatory. Improves blood flow to uterus. Reduction of NK cell activity (take 5g dosage for this). Use body only fish oil as liver may contain mercury (i.e. not cod liver oil). Also Cod liver oil has too much vitamin A in it, so avoid. Be careful not to take too much if on blood thinners. Evening Primrose Oil: 1000mg per day for first 14 days of cycle. Stop taking at ovulation up until next menstruation. Stop at pregnancy. Increases quality and quantity of cervical mucus. Anti-inflammatory reduces narrowing of blood vessels & promotes blood flow. Can bring on uterine contractions and thus the start of your menstrual cycle Co Q10/ Co Enzyme Q10: 200mg - 600mg. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy - but scale down to maximum 200mg dose on falling pregnant. (Costco has best price). Improving egg quality because of its powerful effect on regenerating the mitochondria - the tiny energy factories of each cell - known to be a factor in age-related infertility. Reduces the risk of pre eclampsia. Aspirin: 75mg. Take prior to conception and throughout pregnancy but stop at least 24 hours before giving birth (need the clotting factor). Anti-inflammatory. Stops minute blood clots forming in the uterus (which could starve embryo of oxygen). Manganese – take RDA, as part of a multivitamin Deficiency may lead to defective ovulation. Take with Vitamin C (but note – it competes with iron for absorption) Magnesium- take RDA, as part of a multivitamin Needed to help the pituitary and ovaries produce the high levels of oestrogen and progesterone needed to secure pregnancy until placenta takes over. Other supplements which could be taken: Wheatgrass – Whatever the dosage is on the tin Full of antioxidants. Mostly anecdotal evidence as to the effect on fertility. N-Acetyl Cysteine: 1.2g per day. For woman with PCOS D-Chiro-Inositol: 600mg Take from 2 months prior to conception. For woman with PCOS - restores ovulation and helps with other aspects of the syndrome Alpha-Lipolic Acid: 600mg twice a day = 1200mg total For woman with PCOS Bee Propolis: 500mg Extremely anti-inflammatory therefore excellent for endometriosis sufferers Royal Jelly: 500mg three times a day = 1500mg Improves egg quality although mostly anecdotal evidence Cough medicine: Two teaspoons (200mg) three times per day, taken orally. Five days before and day of ovulation (6 days total)Guaifenesin must be the only active ingredient e.g. Robitussin brand. Loosens the cervical mucus helping sperm on their journey. Counteracts negative Clomid effects outlined here. Clomid associated with less cervical fluid, thinner uterine lining and development of hostile mucus. If taking Clomid, wait until day after last Clomid pill. Vitex (Chaste berry): 35mg Take for first 14 days of cycle in morning. Normalises your menstruation cycle. Restarts periods which have stopped. Lengthens luteal phase defects. Lowers high prolactin levels. If you have a regular cycle do not take as it may mess up the cycle. Don't take with Clomid - or any drug like Clomid - they counter act each other. Human growth hormone: 4mg per day From day 21 of previous cycle to day of pregnancy test. May help poor responders improve. Varying success has been reported. Given as part of IVF protocol - so prescribed and monitored is advised How can one use all D's drugs can't one get a particular drug that contains all d above mention drugs 3 Likes 3 Shares |

curvilicious:My dear, I suggest you try something else or go to a good doc (probably general hospital) that will prescribe something good for you. This one was about 4years ago and I did not personally use it then, so I can't vouch for it. Try newer things ![]() And thanks for the mention. Present! Mirob you can try bitterleaf juice twice a day during your menses. It will rush. Adiaakwaibom also said it made hers rush. Then if that one is not enough for you, add eating vegetable soup (ugu and waterleaf) during ur menses. 1 Like 1 Share |
