COQ10 statistics

[here_we_r]

I agree as well go right back to the CoQ10 I'm so sorry.

Thank you all, I heeded your advice and started again last night. I was only on 100mg for two mths before my BFP so hoping it won't be long to build up again.

Looking forward to hearing more happy stories on this thread, much

Sorry for your loss Pat

Hi ladies, I just started taking CoQ10 yesterday. I'm almost 38 TTC #1. I'm doing Chinese medicine & acupuncture, & after reading good stuff about the CoQ10 I asked my Chinese lady what she thought about it- and she told me its very good & encouraged me to take it. She said to take 150mg, but I'm wondering what the ladies in here are taking?? And has anyone had a fertility specialist tell them to take it and how many mg did they recommed??

I'm going to read this thread from the beginning... But thought I'd introduce myself first : )

I am taking 300 and giving my hubby 100, I think it's working my FSH level dropped from 12.9 and 14.3 to 8 over the last 3 months. althoughh I did a few other things like cutting down coffee and eating well.

I am also thinking of Chinese medicine & acupuncture but cant find good (and not terribly expensive) practicioner in London.

Hi Juniper. I take 200mg of the Qunol Ultra High Liquid Absorption. I"ve also tried Acu for a couple of times and did the chinese medicine. The only two things I was taking at the time was CoQ10 and the chinese herbs and my Ovulation started to get further and further away. The last time it went to CD 28 before I ovulated. I was convinced one of these did it so I stopped both. Went on bcp to put my cycle back in order. I just started back with the CoQ10 and will not start the herbs as i think it was the culprit. Not saying that it happens to everyone or you but I think it's what happened to me.
Some of the other ladies here take more of CoQ10 from 200mg all the way I think I saw 800mg.

Acu is expensive. I totally agree. My insurance doesn't cover it but as well I didn't think the chinese lady knew what she was doing

I am 39. I am due to start my IVF in Jan. After having my liver function tested, my doctor prescribed me a month supply of dhea (25mg*3 times a day) to improve the quality of eggs. And I was asked to have another liver function test in a month. So, I suppose that dhea may have negative impacts on liver function.
He also told me to take CoQ 10.

Hi ladies! I just received my labs for cd21 (7dpo) and they are shit. I am having cd3 labs done as soon as af comes to see where my eggs stand. I will be looking into dhea supplements. Anyone have any insight on those?

 

[Juniperjules]

Alleysm, sorry ur labs werent good : ( I cant offer any advice on DHEA, but just wondering are u talking about the day 21 progesterone test?? If so, what were ur results. I had the day 21 test done a few days ago, just waiting for results now...teeny bit nervous I gotta say... It's the first testing we've had done.. Next is OH getting sperm analysis done- hopefully Monday.... Yikes.. It's all a bit nerve wracking!! AF is due this thurs, how amazing it would be to get a BFP & not have to think about any more testing!! A girl can dream right?? ; )

 

[alleysm]

Juniper yes day 21 progesterone. Mine were 2.8 the odd thing is i had a very positive opk and a thermal shift. But the lab result indicates no ovulation!

 

[here_we_r]

Alley. That is crazy. You had a +opk and a thermal shift and no O. I wonder if the egg tried to pop but didn't. Even if that is the case I wonder how your temp increased. I'm sorry girl.

I don't know anything about dhea. I need to read up on it since you girls are talking about it. Maybe its something I need too. Peep this...I had CD 21 bloods done last cycle and it was 40 something. Well they call me and didn't realize I was progesterone (Dr. office) and did a pregnancy test at 7dpo. Seriously? I don't know how they stay in business sometimes.

 

[Briss]

Alleysm, that is so strange usually temp shift is a very good indication of ovulation. do you have a copy of your chart?

 

[alleysm]

Im glad im not the only one who thinks my cycle is crazy.. i will see if i can attach my chart when i get to a computer!!

 

[CaliDreaming]

Alley so sorry about the lab result. I read a doctor's blog who said that it was possible to have a temp shift and pos opk but no ovulation, but everything else I had read seemed to suggest that was impossible. You're living proof that the doctor was right. I guess it is true that the only way to confirm ovulation is by ultrasound. Are your cycles regular??

 

[alleysm]

I cannot load this damn chart. My cycles are very regular with a thermal shift every month.. crazyness i guess... ugh!!

 

[CaliDreaming]

This is really interesting to me because I have symptoms that suggest I have hyperthyroidism, which can cause anovulatory cycles. I have often wondered if I'm anovulatory because I have short light periods, but then I kind of dismissed that idea because, like you, my periods are very regular and I always have a temp shift and positive OPK each month.

I'm scheduled for a HSG test and sonogram after AF shows so I'd be interested to see if I ovulated as well.

 

[alleysm]

My next step is cd3 labs. I am also going to request an u/s this cycle to check my ovaries for cysts and/or ovulation and will be having 7dpo labs again as well. I guess getting old is catching up with me damn it!!

 

[Briss]

37 is not old! and I agree if you can get cycle monitoring with scans etc it will help to establish ovulation. I still cant get my head around having temp shift but no ovulation. may be you had a cold or smth that caused the temp to rise?

 

[alleysm]

Nope! No cold no sniffles no nothing.. im guessing my body geared up to ovulate and then it didnt release an egg or the egg released was shit hence the low progesterone.. onto cd3 labs this tuesday

 

[here_we_r]

I hope you get some answers honey. You know it really pisses you off when you think you have a chance from +opk and thermal shift but then in reality- NO egg! "Piss it to be darned"!!!!
