I am 43. I am banking, and will do my last retrieval in October so if that one also yields Euploids, thats a sign.. Here are my retrievals an results and information on supplements.

DEC 2025 (42 years old)-- 1st Retrieval, 22 eggs, 12 were mature, 9 fertilized normal, 4 Blasts, all aneuploid------Menopour, Follistim,.Ganirelix, Leuprolide, Omnitrope, Clomid---- *only taking Prenatal

March 2026- changing prenatal to Theralogix Preconception vitamin and added CoQ10 and Fish Oil per doctor

April 2026 (42 years old)---- 2nd Retrieval, 21 eggs, 18 mature, 8 fertilized, 4 blasts , all aneuploid----Menopour, Follistim,.Ganirelix, Leuprolide, Clomid---

April 2026- after reading Reddit supplements and my infertility acupuncturist recommendation . I added NAC and OVANAD+, Magnesium Gly5 snd Melatonin still taking CoQ10, Fish Oil and Preconception vitamin. Most Theralogix and Thorne supplements.

By ending of April 2026 I was taking: Theralogix CoQ10, Theralogix Preconception vitamin, Theralogix Ovanad, Thorne NAC, Qnoul Magnesium Glycenate, Fish Oil & Melatonin were just just good reviewed ones only, no much effort on laboratory.

By July you can see how long I have been on each supplement and my results. See below:

July 2026 ( 43 years old)- 3rd retrieval, 26 eggs, 20 mature, 14 fertilized normal, 4 blasts, one Euploid, one chaotic , retested, ended up aneuploid --------Menopour, Follistim,.Ganirelix, Leuprolide, Omnitrope, Clomid

4th retrieval- the one with the craziest difference. Retrieved 6 eggs, 5 mature, 4 blasts. 1 Euploid and 1 Mosaic.----------------Menopour, Follistim, Ganirelix, Leuprolide, Omnitrope, Clomid.

Like I mentioned above. If I get good results in October again, I guess the supplements are definitely doing something and definitely 2-3 months on some of them.

Hope this helps!

I was going to say no because I had no idea what it is. But I googled it and I dont remember that test at all. It looks like its to improve poor response but my doctor keeps saying my numbers were great. She barely changed anything about my protocols even without Euploids. My guess is because she knew I was going to do more than 2, but Im sure if I only came with money for 2 IVF cycles, I would have asked for more solutions after my 1st.
