I'm an over-40 "poor responder" with one ovary and hashimoto's. I've had bfn's with 3 medicated iui's and 2 ivf's. My RE (Dr. T at SIRM-NY) had me take 100units of pycnogonol (from GNC or other such store), and 500mg of micronized resveratrol (from www.revgenetics.com) as part of my prep for ivf#3. He said he had seem some really good results with it so I figured why not. Well, I was waiting for AF to start to begin stimming, and wouldn't you know it but I got a bfp.
I'm on another board with a bunch of SIRM girls, and I'm the second one to show up with a surprise bfp after taking this combination. I think a bunch of things went into my success(I'll post about them all over of the 40+board soon), and I hesitate to even call it "success" yet as I'm only at 5 weeks and am very scared about the pregnancy continuing, but I really do think there is something to this combo and wanted to recommend it to you. The resveratrol isn't cheap (about $70 for a month's supply if I remember correctly) and I've had backorder issues with the site (last time I had to order the 250mg capsules and just take 2), but if you are looking for a non-medical solution, I think it's worth trying.
