You might consider looking into more natural forms of B vitamins.

Something like 1/3 of people have genetic mutations that make it impossible to process synthetic B vitamins (including folic acid). You can either try to convince a doctor to test you for a MTHFR mutation to see if you have that problem, or just make the switch to folate and other forms of Bs and try to avoid folic acid enriched foods.

In addition to that, I've given up gluten (found out I had celiac and it runs in my family).

Prescription wise:
1500 mg Metformin
Femara pre-peak
HCG shots every other day from 3-9 days post peak
4 mg Estrogen from O+3-12
NatureThroid (for subclinical hypothyroid. I was told for years my thyroid labs were normal...but they weren't optimal for TTC/pregnancy.)
Low Dose Naltrexone/LDN (it helps lower autoimmune responses and anxiety/stress)

OTC:
SmartyPants prenatals (they contain folate)
Baby Aspirin
Mucinex from cycle day 9 to O+2
100 mg of P-5-P (the methylated version of B6, a mucous enhancer)

I've been doing most of this for more than a year. The most recent changes before this last pregnancy were the addition of the LDN and a dosage change on my thyroid medication.

ETA: And lifestyle wise, I drink about 4-5 22oz bottles of water a day.

I chart with a mucous only method (hence the mucinex and B6!)

I try not to stress DH out too much with timed intercourse, so if I think i'm nearing/at O, I just try to make sure we hit every 2-3 days, but don't force it.

I have taken the following:

Prenatals
Pom juice (just did for kicks, one cycle)
500 mg extra vitamin C to help with lining
Mucinex leading up to O
Omega 3s more for mood
Vitamin D

I feel like I did more but can't remember now! I also had DH take a multi as well and switch to boxers (he was good, not great with numbers).

@LaughLines: I also took baby aspirin. I had multiple lossses and had a blood work up done and did show difficulties with blood clotting. I also took Progesterone. I think it was the combination of the two that helped me with DS.

I also ate pineapple core for 5 days and got pregnant two times I did that (once was MC, once was DS).

For DD, I took B100 Complex for a few months which helped lengthen my cycle.

I definitely bicycled my legs after DTD and kept my legs propped up for 20 mins every time we were TTC.

Oh, yeah, accupuncture helped, I think. Also, helped reduce the worrying and therefore reduced my stress.

HI, ladies! I have read her story and her questions. I believe it is really good to help others. I had been there and faced the same situation that she is facing it right now!

Dear! you are doing all the right things. Even you can go for several tests to go for the several tests and achieve the impossible thing in life.

I understand the process is painful and it takes time. But keep going you will get out of it. If you are not aware of current circumstances then you should start the day with some blessings. It's all difficult with having a child and making it better in life.

Just keep trying to conceive and have faith that you will get the best result soon.

Much love

I had several losses but I didn't go too far into this stuff. I took prenatals for all, B complex once (still miscarried), and for my last pregnancy, I was put on progesterone supplements at around 4 weeks.

I also tried to eat relatively clean and stay fit while TTC, plus I reduced my caffeine intake a bit and basically stopped drinking alcohol altogether.
