Hi the supplements are in my original post already. Anyway repeating here - coq10, omega (fish oil), prenatal vit, blueberries, brazil nuts, chicken eggs. Note that human growth hormone (Saizen) injections during stimulation phase are also very important and most ivf doctors agree that HGH helps egg quality, so ask for it if your ivf doctor didn't prescribe.
No, Dr Yeong did not do any immune tests. Intralipid actually is an intravenous solution (soya oil, egg yolks and some other stuff) that was originally developed to nourish those that could not eat. So its harmless even if administered to a healthy person, as long as the drip is sterile and administered properly. I don't know how and why intralipid also came to be used for IVF for those suspected to have immune implantation problem. My logic is that if its harmless and not that expensive (s$250), no harm trying. I actually first heard about it reading here in this thread from Hajar (another forum member) who succeeded after intralipid despite thin lining. Some well known fertility doctors believe in intralipid (such as Dr Geoffrey Sher who is world famous and based in US) , other well known fertility doctors don't (such as my doc Roland). Oh, Dr Yeong will test your blood for Vit D and Thyroid problems. He found that I was deficient in Vit D and he gave me Vit D pills. Maybe that helped me too.
To share for general knowledge of all ladies reading this thread. These are some very good reading and resources. Warning - it could get a bit scientific but I know that IVF ladies are highly motivated
- "It Starts with the Egg". A very good book on how to improve your egg quality. e-book available on Kindle to buy, I think the National Library also has a copy
- Dr Geoffrey Sher's website. He has an open forum where u can ask him questions and he actually replies! He is amazing ! He is a true IVF Pioneer and world famous, much more well known than any SG fertility doctor.
