Question 1

doctor, i am going through ivf frozen embryo transfer cycle and started experiencing hair fall. so can i take natural nu' u biotin 10000mg tablet at least once/twice a week? is it safe for pregnancy? i am 36 years old with thyroid and no other issues?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid and biotin : Biotin can interfere with the accuracy of thyroid testing and management.  I recommend you speak with your provider about alternatives for hair loss that do not involve Biotin.

Scalp massage, avoidance of chemical coloring/perms, shampoo about 2-4 times per week (not daily), good nutritional intake and hydration, as well as regular exercise are safe options for now

Question 2

will taking wheatgrass pill during stim in ivf cause any problem? also what else can improve egg quality?

Accepted Answer

There is: no data concerning the effect of "wheatgrass" pills upon fertility or "egg quality" as you put it. IN FACT there isw no evidence that ANY nutritional supplement or for that matter Prescription drug has an effect upon egg "quality"
Hope this helps!

Irregular bleeding: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own.

There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.
