COQ10 statistics

[2have4kids]

I haven't read about the 3 months but if we consider that it takes 3 months to produce and eggs, that makes sense.

As I understand it, it takes 3 months for the CoQ10 to have the full affect on your eggs since that's the key growth period for the eggs. But, I also think that any amount of time you take it can help, even if it's only for 1 or 2 months - it starts building up in your body from the time you start taking it. Good luck ladies! I'm back on 600mg a day.

Hi moondust, am interested to know why u take 600mg? I'm taking 200mg of Ubiquinol but that's really just a random amount I decided on for no particular reason. We're u advised to take that much or did u decide urself?

I have considered taking more.. But it's soooooo expensive.. Then I think to myself 'how much is a child worth to you???'.. And I feel like I should just take the extra incase it makes the difference!!

Does anyone know, Do we have any stats even just on the girls in here as to how many mg's are being taken and and subsequent successes???? Would be great to know

I took 400mg of the liquid. I don't know what it did or even if it helped because I gave up on it as well as everything else. I took it for a while. It got really expensive - the liquid goes so fast.

Hi everyone. I am new to this site. I came across this thread while researching COQ10. I have just started it yesterday and really hoping for a BFP!
age:37
ttc#1 for 8 months
first half of this 8 months there was a polyp in my uterus preventing pregnancy. Had a D&C to remove it in Nov.
Got BFP in 2/13 ended in m/c at 6 weeks
Another BFP 5/13 was thrilled!!after 5 days of positive pg tests, line went blank. blood test came back hcg of 3!!!!!! chemical pregnancy For both of these BFP we used nothing but prenatals, OPK and preseed.
Now getting really frustrated so pulling out the big guns. I am taking 300mg of Ubiquinol. Along with PPQ. I have read that PPQ can acutually repair the "old cells" in the egg. Am also taking Wheatgrass tablets. I realize it takes 3 months for all this to take effect. After the 3 months I hopefully will do monitored Femara. My Dr. is clueless when it comes to Femara and wants me to do Clomid which I heard Femara is much better for older girls especially.
All the stories of BFP in older women on here is really inspirational to me. Hope you guys keep this thread up. I don't think I have a problem getting pregnant, I just can't stay pregnant so I'm convinced I have "old eggs" lol. Hoping COQ10 is a miracle for me just like it has been for so many 30 and 40 something women who want a baby!

Also forgot to add after O:
progesterone suppositories, Welcome Womb (supposed to prevent MC).

Juniper: I do not go to a RE but I read on another forum a lot of women were told by their RE that 600-800 mg of Coq10 was good for egg quality. So, the Ubiquinol would be 300-400 mg. But, I have also read of lots of other people who have had success with less amounts of it. I chose the 300 mg of the Ubiquinol and I definitely notice more energy so I think i'm going to stick with that dose. I know it's sooo expensive but at this point if it works it's soooo worth it.

Juniper - Agreed with Suziq... I usually read that the recommended amount by Fertility Specialist doctors is 600-800mg. There have also been studies where they have used that amount. But, I'm sure any amount will help, so don't worry if you can't afford more! As Here said, it may or may not "work" but I figure it's worth a shot.

Suziq - What's PPQ? I haven't heard of that one before!

I was going to ask the same thing. What's PPQ?

 

[Juniperjules]

That article says PQQ is in green tea, which I drank from AF-O. I found some PQQ at amazon for $15

 

[Suziq1]

Yes, I'm sorry it's PQQ not PPQ. I noticed that today while looking at the bottle lol I was like wait did I buy the right thing but yes it's PQQ. I bought mine at the vitamin shoppe. It was $20 for 30 10 mg tablets. I am only taking 10 mg/day right now. The only other girl that I saw that took it took 20mg. I am going to do some research today to see if I can find out more about the dosage. If anyone else gets info on dosage let me know!

Susiq....have you had all the blood tests done. Its like Mhmtr...or something like that. I'd have to get the true letters. I was having miscarriages, chemicals and found out I have a blood clotting disorder. My blood clots too fast. I've been on lovenox and its kept this one around so far. Just a thought.

 

[Suziq1]

Hi! I haven't had all the testing to see about why I miscarried. I am going to suggest this to my doc. She told me to take baby aspirin though. Would that even help for something like that? I read that you're not supposed to do the baby aspirin along with coq10. Something about they counteract with eachother???? So I plan to stop coq10 and start baby aspirin after a BFP.

 

[here_we_r]

I take a baby aspirin along with the lovenox. I never would have thought I'd have a clotting disorder. The base he said is 10 and the high end is 20. When first checked I was 11 I think and then after I got a positive test this time..he checked it again and it was 15. So I'd definitely get checked. I thought it was my eggs the whole time. I mean it could have been but I really think now it was the clotting. Do I need to get the correct lettering or do you kinda know what I'm talking about.

 

[Suziq1]

I know exactly what you mean. So, do you think it's ok to wait after a BFP to get tested or do you think I need to get tested now. Is the test just a simple blood test?

 

[Suziq1]

Also just wanted to let you guys know, all those who were asking about the PQQ. I just saw a woman on an over 40 ttc forum got pregnant 3 weeks after adding 10 mg a day to her regimen so I think I'm going to stick with that dose. Good luck you guys!!!!! Keep me posted!!

 

[here_we_r]

I would get it as soon as you could. By the time the baby tries to implant and produce enough HCG to detect pregnancy..the clots have already formed and cut off implantation. Definitely make sure the baby aspirin is okay with the other things you are taking. I know another girl on here had repeat miscarriage and had the test done. Found out she had it - clotting disorder...She started on blood thinner and baby aspirin and got pregnant right away. She is now 13 weeks preggo. I'm not saying you have it so don't worry yourself unnecessarily but it would be a great idea to mark it off your list.
