Eat less inflammatory foods (sugars, carbs, processed foods, red meat), reduce stress. Be healthy in mind and body, including Yoga, acupuncture, walks, meditation, journal, etc. CoQ10 Folic Acid Omega 3 fatty acids (epa/dha) Vitamin D - 1000mg Vitamin C Vitamin E Prenatal vitamins cover a lot of the above. Overall stay healthy, movement, and don't be overweight.

General doctors are terrible with supplements. I discussed with them the supplements I was interested in, and they shrugged them all off but said go for it if I wanted with no clear instructions. After a few months of introducing acupuncture, CoQ10 & Myo-inositol/D-chiro Inositol I have begun ovulating whereas I wasn't before. My progesterone levels drastically increased during the luteal phase and I had the egg white consistency. I highly suggest listening to Andrew Huberman Lab podcast episode 'How to optimize fertility in makes & females'. That's where I was introduced to these supplements & their research. Then I did weeks of my own reading and came to the conclusion CoQ10, Inositol & acupuncture were worth the investment. I already took a vegan fish oil supplement, which was also treated as unimportant by my docs.

[@TheJackeeeo]

@emilywood6830 how have your results been? Have you tried acupuncture?

[@KarlaBedminister]

That's because most doctors and general practitioners aren't trained to give diet advice so they just prescribe drugs and send you home.

[@Discoveringmysoul_rr]

So true! Supplements are very important but the family doctors do not prescribe saying, it's ok not needed . Just take folic acid. I also did my own research and got coq10 and vegan Omega 3 after a lot of research. Hoping for the best but I'm still unable to get this why do doctors behave this way and not bother about the need for supplements.

[@Kelly-pp1et]

Doctors no nothing about nutrition

[@kristentucker1049]

We did a retrieval and our embryo didn’t make it. The office called me for a follow up and said my egg quality was “fair/poor”. Now I know that they never could’ve tested them and they must came to that conclusion for some other reason. I have been thinking they tested them somehow. Thank you for the info!

[@emilyb5557]

Hi, not sure if you will see this. I'm sorry your embryo didn't make it. Just to explain - they absolutely can't test the egg, but then they can see how it does after fertilization as an embryo. If embryo isn't a good one then they can know that the egg wasn't good - they could test for chromosomal abnormalities in embryo (it has multiple cells unlike egg so one can be taken). It is true that it is also possible it was a poor sperm but that is easier to see (they look funny often or don't swim well). The book it starts with the egg might be helpful to read.

Thank you, Dr. Crawford! I watched all your videos while I was trying to conceive and it must have worked because I'm 9 months pregnant! Question: Some doctors on KZbin (InfertilityTV) say it's impossible to improve one's egg quality, yet you say it's possible. What's the deal with the differing opinions?

[@annamilenamariani3751]

We are born with our eggs but before "jumping" they have to mature for 3 months, and during this period you can obviously influence on them.

[@CassyExploring]

There are different quality of…. doctors :)

[@drteaches]

You've a such a positive vibes doc

[@spicybeefsalad]

my AMH is super low, at less than 0.5 ng/ml but I'm only 30 years old :( I never expected to have to go through IVF at such a young age, I'm definitely going to use your tips so that hopefully I will be able to get at least a few good embryos in a few cycles.

[@ButterCracks]

I’m 42, generally healthy and just had my 3rd cycle of freezing. My 1st cycle I had 10 follicles and only 6 grew - unfortunately I caught a very bad version of covid and they retrieved 3 eggs. All 3 mature so 100% maturity. I was on ovaleap and meriofert, and ouvitrelle trigger. Stims for 9 days. The second cycle I had 13 follicles, I was on letrizole tablets for 5 days and Gonal-F and Menopur for stims for 10 days….and ouvitrelle for trigger, they retrieved 8 eggs and 7 mature so 87.5% maturity rate. My 3rd cycle, 12 follicles, again letrozole with gonal-f and menopur but this time stimulated me for 9 days because they claimed that one egg had reached 22mm even though the rest were around 12-14mm. They collected 8 eggs and only 2 mature so only 25% maturity rate. They said 1 was immature at retrieval, 1 was fully mature, and the other 6 were ‘border line’ mature of which 1 matured in the incubator. I am so so so upset. The clinic claims they can’t explain it because they followed the size patterns from previous cycle and actually my follicles were smaller in previous cycle BUT I just can’t help but wonder if they triggered me too soon and in the chase for the big egg, sacrificed the 7 slightly smaller ones in expectation they would catch up. The fact that they said 6 were ‘border line’ mature makes me think they rushed me. Please can you advise what your take is on this? It seems very out of sync considering my previous maturity rates. I went private for this and it seems £10k for a result that is potentially compromised is heart rendering 😢 The question is for the 6 that were border line mature, could an extra day of stims have generated a better result? Have you ever seen a case like this?

[@reshs7362]

You should try fertility acupuncture, vitamin d also important in sperm mobility.

[@OliviaLaBorde]

Wow, you have a lot of follicles at 42!! Did all of those follicles show at your sonogram before meds? . I’m in a cycle now I’m wondering if more follicles grow when I’m done ? I only have six on sonogram 😢

[@ButterCracks]

@@OliviaLaBorde hey hun, yes they all showed on my sonogram. I did some research after my 1st cycle and started taking omega 3 and ubiquinol 600g - apparently it helps the quality of your follicles but takes 3 months to kick in. I hadn’t been taking it for 3 months by the time I did my 2nd cycle so could have been unrelated but judging peoples reviews on these vitamins it seems to help. I highly recommend. Good luck xxx

For anyone who wants to read more on this exact same topic, my doctor recommended the book It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett. It goes more in depth on what you can proactively do to increase egg quality, with studies to back it up if you find that helpful.

[@NatalieCrawfordMD]

I really like this book - there are a few things that I do not agree with (not enough focus on inflammation, diet, etc), but overall good information esp on supplements

[@InHimAlone]

@@NatalieCrawfordMD I am only about halfway through it myself, but yes that is true so far. I feel that there needs to be more talk about this, like what you are doing in this video. I am pretty sure most people are just told they are old and there is nothing they can do about it, which only makes you feel helpless and hopeless. I have been blessed with a few children, but now that I am getting older and don't feel "done" I like to learn more about fertility at an AMA. I have learned so much that I never knew, it just isn't talked about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@YourCurlfriendPDX]

I’m so angry at myself. My AMH is very low, I’m 40 and I wish life had given my husband sooner. We are struggling with infertility now. I wish I would’ve done egg freezing and I wish someone would’ve educated me about getting pregnant at a younger age. Unfortunately I didn’t have relationships as I got older so now this is what I have to deal with😢

[@Mang-ej5ul]

I was in your shoes at 40 also. My AMH was ok but egg quality was not. I was also very angry at myself and mad at the lack of real education about women’s fertility I had. IVF worked for me. I’m 42 and pregnant with a healthy embryo. Though still nervous and hope it goes well. Took the clinics recommended his/hers vitamins every day for months. Did acupuncture. But if all those things don’t work for you, you can still be a mom through donor eggs. You get to see photos and choose the donor. This knowledge helped give me peace of mind as we went through this journey. I hope it helps you also.

[@Affy03]

You're not alone, I'm 43 now, miscarried last year in my 3rd trimester.

[@deshgouri]

My doctor completely dismisses any supplement-related questions. It is frustrating to be honest.

[@juliakbrown]

I’m pushing 40 and grew up with BPA, phthalates, etc before we knew they were bad. Hearing that they can affect egg quality is just like “well, I guess I’m screwed then.” Does it really matter if we remove those from our environment (to the extent possible) at this stage? Seems like after so many years of exposure the damage is already done.

[@samalyy]

The body heals fast! So eating right, take Vitamines and removing the toxins will have a positive influence for your health.

[@FallingAsh]

I would like your opinion on this as well. Is 3 months of eating right and exposure avoidance really going to change anything? Are these more applicable to college-aged women looking to get pregnant in the future?

[@emilyb5557]

The egg isn't fully developed until it goes through the 3 month development process - which is why the COq10 for 3 months can make a big difference. So not having those chemicals present in blood whilst your eggs develop can still make a difference :-) I guess the only chemicals it might not apply to is the "forever" chemicals like Teflon because they stay in blood and ajd body much longer - but still why risk adding more?

I have been reading about the chances of a healthy embryo within 6 months after an abortion. Is the egg better quality after an abortion? why would that be? Thank you! I've just gone thru a painful abortion and I am hopeful for a successful pregnancy at 38.

[@aafreenkhan5267]

Abortion surely does affect uterus if not eggs

[@stellaakarcnik7474]

I am not an expert or doctor or anything, however a friend told me this happened to her friend. Basically she could not get pregnant for a very long time with her first partner and it was recommended she do a D&C. She did get successfully pregnant with her next partner after this procedure. (Coincidentally she broke up with the first partner because she was really unhelpful and uncaring during the procedure.) Apparently it can “clean out” scar tissue that is obstructing the uterus or tubes. One reason for infertility can be scar tissue due to std and other past infections, endometriosis ,etc.

Glad it was helpful!

If everything goes well this should do the job. But listen, there's one factor that's usually overlooked that can considerably speed up the process, unfortunately I do not have it at hand, but it can be go’ogled Dobbie Nerkstrol's Infertility Cure, I think.

Can you do a video on low egg reserve and IVF treatment success.

[@samanthakwait8782]

I had 2 healthy pregnancies in my 20s and I’ve had 2 miscarriages in my early 30s. Not sure if I want to do it again but this is good info.

I was dx with PCOS over a month ago and put on Twrila birth control for 3 months before trying ovulation-inducing medications. What should I do while temporarily on birth control to help egg quality?

[@tamartamunanemsadze7750]

What do you think about red light therapy? Thanks. ❤🙏🏻

[@DoloresssSmithvvvvv]

Thank you for this highly accessible and informative video! Does egg quality decrease if harvested? I've heard "forcing" lots of follicles to produce many eggs makes for bad quality eggs, but I haven't found any evidence for this.

[@emilyb5557]

There's a clinic in the UK Create fertility - they say esp in older or lower reserve women that lower dose stim aka "mild IVF" can be better for egg quality.

[@ivfmomrussia]

It's true. In practice, many of my friends did.

I have a question about Coq10. In your video you talked about the dosage. Did you mean 200 mg total per day. Or 200 mg 3 times a day for a total of 600mg per day? Thanks so much! :)

[@narudonr3820]

I am confused too. Just from words, it should be 200 mg a day but it seems that maybe Dr. correct a day with three times a day?

[@laurawalters8833]

@@narudonr3820 I'm glad it's not just me! 😅 I think you are probably correct based on some other things I've looked at. Thanks so much!

[@narudonr3820]

I quit smoking but I don’t understand how people say it stops you from getting pregnant when people who do the worst drugs be popping out babies as fast as they be popping in pills.

Hello, I am 37 & I'm planning to start a 2nd round of egg freezing. I've been working on increasing egg quality for months now. Unfortunately I have COVID right now and am worried it will affect my egg quality. From what I've read it's best to wait for egg retrieval 3 months after a COVID infection -- would you suggest waiting?

[@youcansoften]
