Hi ladies, I have got a prescription for melantonin (sp?) what time is a good time to take these? FS said to take a tablet at night, just before bed?

Emma, you want to begin by the start of your FET cycle because it takes a few weeks to become effective (ie you don't start on transfer day because that's too late). For my IUIs, I start the same day that I start stims.

Miss.B, definitely take them 15-30 mins before bed. They're also prescribed for insomnia (ie they make you sleepy!)... You only need to take them during the follicular phase (ie from AF to O) to improve egg quality. If you're not doing a medicated cycle, they can sometimes affect O (but doesn't happen for everyone).

It will knock you out. Take an hour before bed. Are you on 4mg?
