A Word From Zita

"It’s always hard when you are trying month after month for a baby, and it isn’t happening. In fact, it takes an average of eight to twelve months to conceive and for most people there is more an impatience than an inability to conceive.

In our experience, the important thing if you are at this stage is to take a comprehensive look at all the physical, emotional, psychological, and lifestyle factors that could be affecting you and your partner’s fertility alongside all the usual medical diagnosis and investigations."

I have secondary infertility and I’m awaiting to go IVF.. I have been told I have a reduced AMH level for my age (I’m 28) it’s 4.8pmol. All my scans and everything are ‘normal’ they can’t work out why, and said I can still fall with a reduced AMH but it hasn’t happen since miscarrying my 2nd child in April 2020 so over 2.5 years

Our TTC/IVF journey has been tough. We have not ever been lucky enough to get a positive pregnancy test. At the start of our journey, my cycles were around every 22-23 days which is far from ideal. I started going for acupuncture and after 24 months of TTC naturally we had some tests done at the doctors. Mine came back all ok, my husbands came back with 2% morphology, we were then told that we would be put forward for IVF through the NHS. We did our first round in February 2021, we got 11 eggs, 9 of which were mature however only 3 fertilised. We did one fresh transfer which sadly failed and a second frozen which also failed.

In the meantime we had my husbands DNA fragmentation tested as he also found that he had a varicele. It came back that he had moderate to high DNA fragmentation, so we opted to have the varicele procedure done to help, once this was done the result came back at 15% which is the higher.

End of normal and are now waiting to do our next round of ICSI in October.
I have been taking Zita West IVF prep supplements for a while now along with inositol and folate, ever since I have been doing this my cycle has gone to a 28 day cycle and I feel so much better in myself! So I can't thank you enough really as I'm sure it's these supplements that have made the biggest difference.
Fingers crossed for round 2!
