Food supplements

02. August 2021

Hi PAN team, I am 36 years old and would like to try to improve the quality of EZ with the support of nutritional supplements. I have read a lot about it on the internet pimp my oocytes ;-). Can I do anything wrong with it or even make the next attempt worse with it? I would like to take ubiquinol 200 mg tomorrow, folic acid 800 mg, selenium 200 mg, Zinc 25 mg at noon, Omega 3 1000 mg, DHEA 25 mg at night and 200 mg magnesium for about 4-5 months. Would that be ok or is there something missing and how often should I have my blood work checked. Many thanks and best regards: -)

Famenita and Progynova

02. August 2021

Dear practice team, I got pregnant after an ICSI. Your final report says I have Famenita and Progynova until the end of week 10. I'm supposed to take it. I'm in 10+1 today, which is the beginning of 11th grade. SSW and as of this morning I am no longer taking the two medications. But now I'm suddenly afraid that it was too soon and too abrupt. Was it okay to drop him off? Thank you very much for a short feedback.

Letrozole

02. August 2021

Hi I have stimulated with an insemination with Menopur 150 units daily until now. A follicle has grown in the process. My doctor wants to try letrozole. I've been thinking. That Letrozole doesn't work for me at all when I already have so few follicles under 15p Menopur. What are your experiences and what would you recommend.

Menogon

02. August 2021

Hi, I have a question about Menogon. My menogon from my last attempt expired 6 months ago. My doctor said I could still use it. I also called the manufacturer again and they said I had to dispose of it. What is your opinion on this? We are only self-pay and the drug is very expensive. Can the effectiveness of Menogon be affected or are there serious side effects if I inject the expired Menogon?

Chances IVF?

02. August 2021

I have (due to secondary amenorrhea stimulated with menogon) in the first attempt at 40 a healthy daughter, but now tried 6 months unsuccessfully with GVnP, in January after first IVF (3 oocytes after 0.375 menogon) silent miscarriage (8th week). I'd try again, but I'm 44 now, AMH low, few antral follicles - realistically there's little chance now, is there? Thank you for your assessment.

Hi, team, I'm starting stimulation today. Unfortunately, I neglected to ask for my blood results yesterday and am now afraid to start since I do not have the results.
