Hi I am new here and just had a failed IVF last month, they transfer 2 eggs to me and on day 20 after transfer, it was gone. My husband have poor quality sperm so ivf is the best alternative for us. I have normal tube and womb, I ovulate every month on time. My doctor never fail to remind me that my 40 years old egg is the main problem. So here I am, looking every where to improve my egg health before my next ivf cycle.

I am interested in doing the fertility cleanse for a start and maybe proceed to the diet, supplement and self-massage. During my last IVF cycle, I started taking Royal jelly and COQ10. I have been seeing a TCM for acupuncture every week, she uses needle and pass electric current to my womb area. Do I have to stop the TCM treatment during the fertility cleanse, self fertility massage or any of your supplement or diet?

Thanks for giving us this very informative site and a glimpse of hope.

Hi Nurin,

It is fine to contine the acupuncture during the cleanse, massage and while taking supplemets. The acupunture will be a great compliment to these.

If you are planning on doing another IVF, you may want to look our Prepare for IVF page. Do you know that there are natural remedies that can help you prepare for your IVF fertility journey? Any of the supplements or herbs talked about in this guide should not be taken while you are on any IVF medications. This program should be completed before you begin your medications. Ideally, give yourself 90 days to prepare with these supplements and the fertility diet before beginning your IVF medications or treatments.

The life cycle of an egg is 90 days. This is the period of time during the eggs journey when what you eat, drink, ingest, breathe, your stress levels, and the health of your blood flow will all have an effect on the health of that egg. So what you eat today is impacting the egg you will ovulate or have “harvested” three months from now. So for best results prepare 90 days out.

The Fertility Cleanse and the Natural Fertility Diet are great ways to build a healthy foundation for your fertility, including egg health.

Thanks for your support, Best Wishes!

Dalene, thanks for your encouragement.

I have booked my next IVF and will be starting the injections in Sept. When should i start the fertility cleanse to begin with? I was thinking to start once my May period is over. Would that be too early?

Thanks

Nurin, May, may be a great time to begin the cleanse. That would also give you 3 months after that to Prepare for IVF.
