Proven egg quality and quantity supplements

[Ginger077]

We have been thru 3 fresh rounds of ivf and an fet. I have had a natural mc at 5 weeks and a D&C at 9 weeks because our little ones heart stopped beating. My DH would like me to try another fresh cycle. I was taking loads of supplements and doing acupuncture these last two fresh cycles. What are the best supplements to take both for quality and quantity?  Here is a list of the ones I've been taking. Some of them are for overall health...
N Acetyl cystine 2000
Queens delight (royal jelly)
Coq10 ubiquinol 200mg
Inositol 
Omega 3 dha 
X FLM K37
Metformin pcos
Neevo DHA prenatal
Folic acid 800mcg
Floridix iron supplement
Vitamin D drops

My acupuncturists isn't a believer in DHEA but has anyone had any great luck with it or anything else.
My DH is really wanting me to try another cycle. He's never asked me this before so I may if I can get a head start on these supplements. I will have a couple months to get them into my system since I have to wait for my lining to build back up nice and strong. Thank you for any help you can offer. We are desperate to have just one baby before we gave to call it quits. You can message me anytime or I will check back here.
Thank you so much for your help!!!

I know scar tissue isn't an issue from the major abdominal surgeries I've had but ive read of the increased risk of MC associated with it along with several other risk factors I do have for MC's. That's concerning to me. I know the inside of my uterus is probably the best it can be with the large septum removed and the 4 surgeries total this RE has done in my uterus, he specializes in Ashermans so he's the prefect person to be working in there I think. We have so many different factors honestly I can't organize them well enough to relay here sadly right now my mind is just all over the place.
Donor eggs and embryos are not a problem for myself and probably not a problem with my husband judging by his willingness to use a donor currently but it is a huge issue family wise. Our families have no idea that we even want kids and certainly don't know a thing about these struggles or all these surgeries. It's been hard to hide with most our family living in the same city even. We had a match done with our donor and now he's retired so we will have to start the process over a third time. As far as donor embryos I'm guessing a match isn't going to be possible and donor eggs we simply can't afford. I know this may sound odd but privlidging our families with the information of a donor anything would be really bad. Especially on the child and I need to keep that in mind when making donor decisions. Of course the information would be shared with the child when he/she is old enough to understand but family won't be accepting and could really do emotional damage which I'm not willing to put my future child thru. It's just not fair for someone to grow up feeling bad about themselves as my mom would make sure she would ruin another life.

Have you considered going to Mexico for IVF? I saw a reportage once and it was very impressive, they have IVF clinics that target Americans and Canadians for 1/3 of the price - with donor eggs.

Good luck, you're in a dark period now but stay hopefull!

Ginger, since you are using a donor for sperm already, why not try donor embryos instead of donor eggs?  It is less invasive and you don't have to pay for egg donor.

In the US I am pretty sure they test all chromosomes (a friend of mine had a m/c due to trisomy of chromosome 6 as it turned out after the lab testing) but since you actually saw a h/b I doubt lab testing will provide you with much more info.  Surgeries and scar tissue are not a factory with ivf; I have severe scar tissue from multiple prior surgeries. I think adgal is right, you just have to try again.  You came sooo close this time!
I wish you all the luck in the world.

Thank you all for your opinions. I understand that there are different opinions and that's exactly why I posted this question.
There are so many factors in our case, too lengthy to list here Properly so you got the full picture. I've had tons of testing 6 gyn surgeries and three ER's. 14 surgeries total by age 37. I feel like a lab rat. DH has severe factors too and we have to use a donor so some of the more specialized testing on the donors part is obviously out of reach. We will have genetIc testing results in a couple weeks along with the consult with the RE, his colleagues and the embryologist. I'm on meds for a couple months anyways. DH wants me to try again and I dont want to go thru another loss. Im not being negative just realistic. I know donor eggs are going to be brought up which I don't have a problem with except we won't be able to afford them after all the money spent. I have one last round of ivf paid for and has to be used by a certain time. If I wanted to purchase more Pre paid cycles I would have to have the paperwork in in a few months or I will be denied because of my age.
Thank you everyone for your opinions and sharing your research.
Best wishes to everyone wherever your at on this roller coaster ride.

I am so incredibly sorry for what you have been through.  I've also had several miscarriages and I so understand your heartbreak.  I got lucky with pregnancy no. 6 at 40, so do not give up hope.  Since then I have miscarried 3 more times, and in our case have decided to move forward with embryo adoption (not the right decision for all, just the right decision for us). I have now had pretty much every test under the sun in my RE's (and prior to that my OB's) attempt to discover why this kept happening.  I would like to share some of that with you in hopes that perhaps it may help.

I had 4 d&c's.  In each of those cases, plus 1 of my natural losses the fetal tissue was tested.  There were no chromosomnal abnormalities found.  I probed further in my questioning and discovered that they really only test for the 3 most common....trisonomy 13, 18 and 21.  So the fact that nothing was found cannot truly exclude an abnormality, it just wasn't one of the one's tested for.  We underwent testing for genetic incompatability (rare, but it happens).  Again, nothing.  They have looked at my uterus from every possible angle - as I said, you name it, I've had it.  It truly is still a mystery.  The reality is that a lot of the time they just don't find anything.  It's just a combination of age and bad luck.  And my opinion is that of Helen's....I just do not believe there is a thing that can be done about it.  I don't mean to be a downer, it's just what my own personal search for answers has taught me.  I also mean no disrespect to the opinions of others.  

If I were in your shoes (and I have been), here is what I would do.  I would await all test results.  A few more months won't hurt anything.  Once you have all the information in hand, I would take that and make a decision from there.  In your situation, an alternative might well prove to be the answer.  Again, please do not take my response as a negative - I just want to see your dream fulfilled as I know very well how much pain you are probably in right now.

Again, I'm so sorry, and I wish you nothing but success in your journey.
