COQ10 statistics

[Briss]

Briss - where do you get the wheatgrass supps? Health food store? I don't think I've ever seen that in supplement form before... but I see the wheat grass in the grocery store... I've never bought any though. Why is it good for you/TTC? I should do so reading!!! I hope you get your BFP soon!!! Magic CoQ10 dust to you!!!

Thank you! Baby dust to you too
I buy wheatgrass in powder form from H&B, supposed to help with lowering FSH and is generally considered very beneficial. it does not taste great so I find it really hard to stick to it

Just checking in - how are you all doing?

Briss - thanks for the info!! We bought a bottled green drink (Naked brand) and it has wheat grass in it (and is very tasty!).

I've been drinking that stuff too, I see it has spirilina in it too. Did my surgery last Saturday and I'm back at work. I'm 4 lbs down since Friday and my arthritis has been feeling great, probably because I've not been out skiing and working my legs off.

I took a read, at cd15 today, really sad that we can't try this month but next month here we come! Hopefully I'll have blown off alot of weight by then too making my hormones go crrraaazzyy.

2have - that's GREAT!!! Glad to hear you're doing well enough to be back at work. And 4 lbs already?!! I hope this month will go by fast for you!!

pdmcd, alley, vix, thank you!!

How are you all doing?
Alley - I love your avatar!!! That is hilarious (and awesome).

This is the day (5w6d) that I started the m/c last time, so it will feel like a hurdle to get through today.

Hope you're all having a good start to the week.

I'll chime in here about Wheat Grass. I used the frozen cubes of wheat grass that Whole Foods carries in addition to Amazing Grass organic tablets. I didn't always have them on hand, but quite often. The tablets I took daily. It wasn't practical to get fresh so the frozen was next best thing. Doesn't taste too bad either, and mixed in juice, goes down very easy. I also had the powder by Navitas Naturals, they make an organic freeze dried one, if you are tired of swallowing so many supplement pills, I mixed 1 tsp into smoothies. I started with the Wheat Grass after reading Inconceivable by Julia Indichova.

Before an FSH test by a fertility specialist, can be really helpful to load up on wheat grass and drink TONS of water. Maybe mix in some coconut water so your not diluting your electrolytes, but try this 24-36 hrs before the CD 3 FSH test. #'s CAN fluctuate month to month, but if your unlucky and get a particularly bad /high #, the RE's will say it's hopeless, refuse to help....

I forgot that in the usa they refuse to help you if your fsh is too high. I find this really sad. Oh well, cancun just got a fabulous new clinic. i'd be going there if i was told by my fs to go home!

Alleysm, I'm so sorry to hear this. There's no way to do ivf then? It's such a roller coaster isn't it.

 

[alleysm]

With low amh i cant do ivf.. but we had decided a long time ago that ivf would not be an option due to the cost.

 

[PatTabs]

Thank you so much Alley and 2have, am not counting my chickens just yet as you know the roller coaster of emotions are so crazy.

Alley so sorry to hear your news I pray this will be your cycle.

Hi ladies! I have been considering adding coq10 to my routine... I have a question though- have you had any side effects from it such as a burning/ itching sensation? I have had very bad niacin flush before and stopped taking niacin completely as it made me really anxious and uncomfortable! so does coq10 do anything like that for any of you? Thanks!!
