How to improve quality of follicles?
What can I do to improve quality of follicles. I heard about dhea, royal jelly, wheat grass. What else? I am starting new cycle and need help.
Thank you. I love pineapple so I can eat it every day :-)
For my first iui I was getting Bravelle too 150iu for 6 days starting cd2 until cd7 and I got trigger shot cd 8, iui was cd10. And it worked but ended witch chemical pregnancy.
So now I will try to do everything to improve my chances. Tomorrow I start acupunture :-)

I read on here that pineapple is supposed to help with implantation. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks up proteins that inhibit embryo implantation. Consuming a whole pineapple (focusing on the core as it has the highest concentration of Bromelain) during a fertility cycle can be beneficial.
IUI [intra-uterine insemination] cycle: one pineapple, divided into 5 portions - consume one portion each day, over five days, beginning on the day of your IUI.
For my second round of IUI I am now getting 2 shots of bravelle instead of one. I believe it is 150cc each shot.

Thank you! I found the community acupuncture nearby!!! So happy!!! I love pineapples. Can you give me the recipe for that "magic" soup ? :-) I will try everything.
I will be doing iui not ivf.

Acupuncture details, I started 2-3 months in advance and went 2x week. It's expensive but sometimes insurance will help out. I found a "community" acupuncture place that is waaaay cheaper. Google that type and there is a network around the nation.

This site above has great info. I'm 2 for 2 with acupuncture! Waiting on baby#2 now! I swear by it, but I am a real stickler on diet too. I have my hubby make me a "magic" soup on embryo transfer day and ate a lot of pineapple. I do everything in my power and it works. You have to relax too... stress is horrible thing for IVF. ;o) good luck!

I did acupuncture during my IVF and took a high dose multi-vitamin. I think the acupuncture helped more than anything though. I would give it a shot if you can. For my next cycle I am planning on doing it again. They say you should start 3 months prior to your cycle, but I figure something is better than nothing. I went once a week.
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you!
