Hello Irish eyes! I hope you're smiling!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist!). Welcome to the thread!
Hi Dwrgi, that's for replying.
Yes, I have had all my tests done, CD3, CD21, HCG, AMH etc and DH has done two SA and they are fine. His recent one was done a few months before we did IVF. My AMH was tested twice the first one was 10pmol/L and the last one was 7.6pmol/L. I don't think that the was even a year between those two tests and there was quite a drop. But at our review appointment after the failed IVF cycle I was told that didn't make a difference.
There was only once follie on my left ovary and 4-5 on my right which turned out to include 3 cysts. So I only ended up with 2 eggs, both fertilised but they were only 4 cells at day 3 transfer. At my review I was told that one of my eggs was so old that there was no chance of a pregnancy.
At the moment I am in limbo with vitamins. I do take bromocriptine for high prolactin levels and if not folic acid on it's own it's Pregnacare. But I have been reading about other vitamins for TTCing and I also was looking into them just for doing the marathon. So advise there would be much appreciated. I have heard about DHEA and how that can help with the eggs but I am also see alot of Co-Q10, Omega 3, EPA and I have taken Royal Jelly before myself.
I have also tried Reflexology before my last IVF and I do try to keep up with doing Yoga but it's hard with all the training. I also have Reiki sessions quitely regularly.
Sorry for delay in responding, I was teaching a rather "challenging" class. Need a vodka now (or some Guinness!
).
Well, there are a number of things that you can do to improve egg quality. I was told that diet is essential and that you need to maximise proteins (preferably plant based, but animal will do: beans, lentils, seeds, etc. etc.), lots of eggs, etc. Here's what me and a few others are doing; Lils calls it the Four Month Plan! You need DHEA (75mg per day: micronised only!); CoQ10 (600mg per day, which will set you back as it's v expensive); 5mg of folic acid (preferably folate as it absorbs better, think you'd need to see your GP about this), prenatals (I use Pregnacare Conception) (get hubby on the Wellman equivalent), a baby aspirin every day (75 units), hmm, what else? Well, I'm taking LOADS of Omega 3 (on Dashka's-
-advice; you need about 1800 EPA per day-again, expensive) and I've also started taking Agnus Castus (or Vitex, as our American friends call it). I took RJ and something else similar for fertility (can't remember the blooming name) and it made NO difference to me, although I never had hay fever on it!
Lils will tell you that you need to take progesterone in the 2WW-my FS prescribed 3x 400mg per day for me when I had my ICSIs.
Also, to work on healthy CM-lots of grapefruit juice from CD10 onwards, as it helps to neutralise the CM

; lots of EPO (at least 4 tabs, will check quantity when I get in tonight) right up until O, but not after, and Agnust Castus throughout cycle. You can also buy stuff like Preseed to act as a sperm friendly lubricant during the days of Ovulation.
I don't suppose you need me to tell you that I guess that training hard for marathons may not be the best idea for conception, but I'm sure you're aware of this!
Good luck, and if there's anything that I've said that is wrong, give me a shout ladies!
Off to Parents Evening now! Ciao ciao guys!
That is just unbelievable! I would be fuming!!! 
? 
You don't have to answer that, but I wonder if you look at posts & start analyzing (like i do when I see #'s & spreadsheets 
). lol. Good luck on BMI -1pt sounds totally doable!
