I know we have quite a few IVFers here. Wondering what you all did to improve your egg quality if it wasn't quite right. I am wondering if that is why all my cycles have not been working. (Not doing IVF yet.)

I do not have egg quality issues but I just recently had a nutritionist address my IF support group that I run and according to her, other than a healthy, well-balanced diet there's not much SOLID evidence in current research to suggest that anything (variable) improves egg quality. That's not to say there aren't things that don't negatively impact egg quality...caffiene, alcohol, aspartame, etc. Research is still out on L-Carnitine and glyconutrients...possibly something to look into. Maybe someone else knows something more/different. Kimberly (Goo) is very well-versed on nutrition and IF, she's probably the go-to person on this one.
