When you’re going through infertility treatment, it may be beneficial to take additional supplements to help improve your chances of conceiving. By ensuring that you’re taking these supplements regularly, you can give yourself the best chance possible of achieving a positive pregnancy test. Here are a few recommended by the New Hope Specialists!

*Remember to check with your nurse and also let them know of any allergies you may have before adding these supplements to your daily fertility plan!

Vitamin D

When you’re going through fertility treatment, it’s important to make sure that you’re taking care of yourself in every way possible. That includes ensuring that you’re getting all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs. One vitamin that is particularly important for fertility patients is vitamin D. Here are a few reasons why you should make sure you’re taking vitamin D during fertility treatment. 

  • Recent studies demonstrated that vitamin D improved ovarian follicle survival and growth in vitro.
  • A deficiency of vitamin D may reduce the chances of pregnancy and implantation from in vitro fertilization treatment.
  • Vitamin D invests in the well-being of your baby by supporting healthy bone development. Deficiency with vitamin D is also related to preeclampsia.

Vitamin D deficiency can be common among infertility patients, so making sure you have enough is critical! 

Prenatal vitamins

Prenatal vitamins, while you’re going through fertility treatment, can be useful to prepare for implantation. Prenatal vitamins can help improve your chances of getting pregnant by making sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs. These vitamins contain specific nutrients that are essential for a baby’s development, such as folic acid, iron, and calcium, and they can also help protect your health during your treatment. 

DHEA

DHEA is a hormone that is produced by the body and helps with many functions, including fertility. DHEA is converted in the body into testosterone, thus promoting ovarian youthfulness. It can also improve the quality of eggs by helping along the maturation process. Be sure to ask your physician what daily dosage of DHEA they suggest. 

COQ10

COQ10 is a fan favorite in the infertility community and is known for its ability to boost energy levels and support the heart, so it could be a great addition to your regimen if you’re feeling tired or anxious. It’s also been shown to improve egg quality and increase pregnancy rates. If you’re considering taking COQ10, talk to your doctor to find out if it’s right for you specifically. 

Folic Acid

If you’re going through fertility treatments, you’re likely taking a lot of supplements. One that may not be on your radar is folic acid. Here are some reasons you should consider adding folic acid to your routine! 

  • Folic acid can help regulate your menstrual cycle and improve ovulation.  
  • It can help reduce the risk of early miscarriage and birth defects.  
  • It’s essential for the early development of the embryo.  

So, if you’re looking for ways to maximize your chances of success during fertility treatment, make sure to add folic acid to your supplement routine!
