Hi Dr Fiona,
I currently have severe endo, with DOR and poor egg quality. Am prepping for my second ivf cycle.
What is the safe dosage for Vitamin E and NAC?
I am currently taking 400 IUs of Vit E and with NAC the bottle says to take 1 pill (500mg) however I read online that some women take 1.2g (1 pill three times a day).
I talked to my RE and he said that 1.2g of NAC is fine, however when I read the book "It starts with an Egg", the dosage recommended was only 600mg. Seems very conflicting!
Please help!

Am currently trying to figure out what worked for others in similar situations as me ?
