Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Ask your doctor: You already know ivf is a very big deal: you should ask your ivf doc these questions and not get answers from the internet or your friends. If you were my patient i would tell you "no, ' maca doesn't do anything at all for "egg quality, " why take it? Best wishes and good luck.
