Don't worry too much. A lot can happen in two days. You could very well get those follies you need by then. Until then, focus on thinking about them growing and try to relax as much as possible. Good luck.

So sorry!

So sorry about your cancelled cycle. I've heard a lot about DHEA and Royal Jelly improving egg quality & quantity. Seems like you don't have anything to loose by trying them.
I was planning on getting them both myself today!

I'm sorry to hear your cycle was canceled. I have heard a lot about Royal Jelly and DHEA both improving egg quality and quantity. I believe the RJ is more for egg quality and DHEA is more for quantity, but I'm not sure and I think they are both good for both things. I started taking DHEA and have RJ on order. DHEA is a hormone that is produced naturally by the body but amounts decrease as we age. There was another post today on a video on DHEA for fertility, here it is:
