After the first cycle, and even before, one focus was to try and improve our general health. That effort continued. After some research, we made the following changes. (a) More Omega fatty acids - which means we started cod liver oil for both of us. (b) Vitamins (anti oxidants) for improving sperm DFI - I started on the Vitamin C and E and did not take any of Dr. Vasan's medication such as paternia. In fact, this time, when I went to test I had been having these meds. So the DFI was already good enough for him. My wife started having a supplement called Co-Q 10 _ Coenzyme Q 10.
Please see this blog from a doctor practicing in Chicago about this supplement - click here. Based on this and other data, we simply decided that it could not hurt! Confession: we did not inform our doctors about this either.
In the preparation for this cycle of IVF, Dr. Bina recommended an AMH test, though I could not think of an earthly reason for doing it. Guess what - we got an AMH slightly higher than 2.0, the magic number.
