    Has anyone had any experience with Luveris?

    Has anyone had any experience with Luveris?

    I have heard Luveris is used for egg quality in conjuction with Gonal F?

    Any success stories?

    I am about to ask my FS about using Luveris because last cycle we only got 2 day three embies out of 9.

    Haven't heard of that Krikkit but one thing that I DO know which improves egg quality is fresh royal jelly. I took that throughout my IVF cycle until egg pick up and I had 9 eggs fertilised, 8 made it to blastocyst.
    My naturopath recommended it and you can get it in the refrigerated section of some health food stores. Don't let them talk you into buying capsules because the fresh stuff is better for you. It comes in a substance like honey.

    Hoep that helps some

    Krikkit

    Royal Jelly is quite popular on the american forums, it is the substance the Queen Bee needs to produce all those lovely bees ? I take the tablet form, and one of my other BB friends, ordered the honey from a tasmanian website, and had it in her morning high protein shake.

    A few of the gals I know have it .. and I hope they pop in and explain it in more detail than me, I do beleive it helps with my egg quality

    It's like honey. I think that is comes straight from the bee or hive or whatever. I tell you though, it doesn't taste like honey!! It's yuck. But I heard about it through my naturopath and another forum where some girls had been involved in some research where they took it on their second and third cycles of IVF and their embryo quality improved significantly.

    I tried looking for it at my local natropath (they have bee pollen)

    but no royal jelly

    at this point I am willing to try anthing to make this work - whats a few more bucks and a bit more torture right?

    LOL, too true!!

    Try maybe some health food stores. I got rather frustrated one day, my local and usual place had ran out, so I tried to see if there was any in the city stores and I actually had an argument with one of the shop assistants because she tried to tell me that what I was asking for didn't exist.

    Not a good argument for a woman who is up to her eyeballs in FSH with ovaries ready to pop. The poor woman didn't know what hit her, she certainly got the rough edge of my tongue and I huffily stormed out of the store. I ended up having the same conversation with 2 other separate shop assistants. That wasn't one of my good days. LOL

    So don't let them tell you that they can't get it or whatever. It turns out, once one of those women looked at her stock list, she was like "oh look at that, we CAN get it". I almost punched her. Hehe.

    Hope that you find some. And I'm sorry, I've kind of hijecked this thread and taken it away from the thing that you were asking about

    Hugs

    Hey, I'm not too sure what the brand is that I was using. It was in a small white tub and just said fresh royal jelly on it

    Sorry!

    It was bl00dy expensive though - but I guess it was beer change compared with how much we've paid for IVF

    Since I completely hijacked this thread with chat of royal jelly, I just went and googled Luveris:

    Luveris? - Fertility LifeLines?

    There is lots of info out there and it seems to be used in the US along with the stims medications. Seems to have good effects too!!!

    Hugs and good luck
