    Vitamins and supplements

    Okay, lets see if I can remember the whole list:

    1. Bioceutcials InNatal - two caps a day. This is the pre-pregnancy supplement.
    2. Bioceuticals Zinc Sustain - one tab a day.
    3. Blackmores CoQ10 - three caps in the morning and another three at night.
    4. Herron EPA DHA Fish Oil - 3 x 1000mg caps in the morning and another three at night.
    5. FGF Iron & Folate supplement (little white bottle with orange lid) - 1 tab morning, 1 tab night.
    6. Cenovis 1000mg Vitamin C - one tab morning.
    7. Nourishing Flora Probiotic - one cap morning, one cap night.
    8. Bioceuticals Lipoec Acid - 1 cap morning, 1 cap night.
    9. Bioceuticals Inflameze - 3 morning, 3 night if you suffer from arthritis
    10. Blackmores B6 - 1 tab morning, 1 tab night
    11. Selenosol Drops - 10 drops in glass of water each morning.
    12. Thompson's Kelp - 1 tab in the morning.

    I also took two different herbal tonics prepared by my Naturopath. One of them contained liquid Vitex. For anyone suffering PCOS or an irregular cycle (ie short luteal phase or a whacky 40 day cycle), I'd recommend Blackmores Vitex tablets, but stop taking them as soon as you've had your IUI or IVF transfer.

    In addition, I took a few supplements for anxiety attacks and infertility induces depression. If anybody wants that list, let me know.

    Finally - I ate a high protein diet: protein in 3 meals a day. Plus loooaaaaads of green veggies. No spuds, carrots, sweet potato - any veg with carbohydrate in it.

    Big cheers!
    OP.
