Girls with Endo............. :-) :-) :-) :-)

[Goldfish]

Thanks petitpas. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I've read about that endo diet. I can't bring myself to restrict my food that much, but I've pretty much cut out alcohol, caffeine and majorly reduced my sugar intake. Not sure if it's helping as my endometriomas have grown back since my lap 3 years ago.

To be honest, goldfish, I have no idea what the solution to poor response to IVF is. Are there any treatments you are on for that? Specific vitamins?
Ask me about clotting, recurrent miscarriages or failure to conceive with good eggs and I can comment but this problem I haven't come across. Apart from the upset, how frustrating it must be for you! I really hope you find (or already have) a doctor who figures out a way to help you soon. You truly deserve your little bundle of happiness after all you have been through.

I've been taking DHEA for the past 2 months - not sure if it will help but I was desperate to try something new!! I've also been taking supplements (ubiquinol, vit D spray, bee propolis and omega 3 fatty acids), hoping those will help with my endo/low egg reserve. To be honest sometimes I can't even remember what's supposed to help what! There's loads of other stuff I could take but it's all a bit overwhelming sometimes!

My specialist put me on vit D, too. I take 50 microg (=2,000iu) daily. I've never heard of a spray before. Is that a prescription?

 

[Goldfish]

No, not prescription. I bought vit D spray at a health food store! I'm swallowing so many pills so it's nice to have a different one!
