Hi Jaden,
Please do stop taking Royal Jelly or any related Bee Propolis products. They are excellent and I take them for a healthy life/skin/etc but not during IVF/ICSI. 2 Fertility Doctors have strictly instructed me to stop taking it because it has hormones which may affect your down regulation, follicle stims and trigger results.
As for caffeine, I was drinking it until the day before EC.
Wishing you all the best

OOooh folic acid is a gem. Start taking it even before you down-regulate. Also, start taking your pre-natal vitamins a month before your IVF treatment starts. You want to get your body nourished with all the vitamins and at optimum position for your little embryo to stick.
The IVF and ICSI process is quite standard, with a few variations based on needs of patients. What the doctor can control, he/she will do so. For yourself, you need to decrease your stress levels, keep it minimum. Stress isn't very good for encouraging fertility. This was the biggest difference with my 1st and 2nd ICSI cycle as compared to my 3rd. I took time off my high-stress work and it's helped a lot.

Thanks for the tip. I know doing these meds can actually cause my menses to delay, I hope NOT!

Yes, yes please start soon Royal Jelly helps regulate menses for many women (using normal conception) so it probably isn't causing your menses to delay. It just isn't good to mix Royal Jelly's hormone with your IVF hormones
All the best to you babes! Don't worry too much. Take things easy and relax.

Ok,
A lil confused now/ I have not taken my Royal Jelly today. I am now on IVF meds right now because my cycle was canceled. Now your telling me it actually helps with the menses, should I take it for a lil bit of time?? till I get my menses? I just mentioned that some of the meds cause the menses to delay like Lupron. That is what I wanted to prevent from happening.
As far as the Pre-nat vitamins I wanted to start right away.

What i meant is, if you are NOT on IVF, and you do NOT have fertility issues, then it's OK to take Royal Jelly because it's been said to help regulate the cycle and improve fertility.
Because you are on IVF meds, means you are taking hormones to down-reg, you should stop the Royal Jelly because it can affect your IVF treatment and make it less effective. Please don't take any Royal Jelly, natural herbs during your IVF treatment as these items contain natural hormones. Your IVF has to be carefully controlled by your Doc without additional medicines/supplements which isn't sanctioned by your Doc.
