Over 40 Natural BFP with DHEA CoQ10 Vitex Black Cohosh Low AMH

Wow, that is fantastic. Congratulations. Could you please tell me what brand of the CoQ10 400-600 of Ubiquinone form, divided doses, taken w/fatty meal (aids absorbtion) you got. I'm to take 600 of it but do not know were to purchase?

I personally used Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb Ubiquinol. Sometimes I only had Jarrow original CoQ10 "Q-Absorb 100 mg, which is cheaper, but esp. last 6 mos before conception used exclusively Ubiquinol. It's expensive, (Amazon has way better prices than say Vitamin Shoppe or Whole Foods) But I told my DH, not anything like fertility treatments $$$...I never tried the Costco brand, didn't know they carried it, but they usually have good quality products.

Hi, wow. So inspiering. I am on my tww. already eat a prenatal but will get the mother to be. I am going to buy the Q10 and start with wheat grass. Should I take it as of today or should I wait? will it help with implantation? I am almost 41.
Thank you for sharing.

 

[notrustyyet]

pipipia you can start right away. Only thing is if you have high FSH and want to use very high doses of wheat grass to lower, concentrate on first half of cycle. wheat grass has a detox effect, probably not best for implanting embryo. Normal daily doses fine all month. I ate pineapple core during 2ww to help with implantation. The reg CoQ10 is still really good, just need more of it to equal dosage of ubiquinone. (you can take 600 mg CoQ10, but only 200-300 mg Ubiquinone) As long as you eat it with fat, it gets absorbed much better. I ate mine for example with my eggs (have lecithin, natural emulsifier) and fish oil.

Hi, Thank you. I had some wheatgrass but will stay off it. I got the Q10 but 200mg, I guess I am worried i will chock my body, I thought I better start of slow. Eating pinaple and brazil nuts I am 9 dpi, yesterday I has some cramping and weird burning sensation but the burning sensation could have been in my mind, it only lasted for less than 5 min. Today I have no cramping whatsoever I feel that is a bad sign.
I have not yest bought the Ubequinone.

Can someone tell me whenI should start taking DHEA? It is at the beginning of a new cycle or any any stage? Also has anyone had their DHEA bloods/levels tested beforehand?

I've finally got around to buying it in preparation for possible IVF later this year + taking Q10 200mg & prenatal vit ever other day..can't stomach no more!

 

[notrustyyet]

Many people start CD1, but you can start anytime, but it takes 3 mos to affect egg quality.

 

[notrustyyet]

I know I've posted this in another thread somewhere, but for anyone wondering if DHEA and CoQ10 improve egg quality in us over 40 ladies, proof seems to be positive. I'm carrying a genetically normal/healthy baby girl according to amnio. I also had the additional microarray genetic testing done on my sample which is even more thorough, not even slight copy number variations or anything. (There is some evidence that having certain copy number variations may imply succeptibilty to autism)

 

[LLbean]

Awesome! Well I hope I have the same success soon!

 

[peacebaby]

Great news Nottrustyyet

Well done on doing all your research!

That's interesting about the copy number variations and the link to autism.

Sorry I'm sure you said something about this earlier but I forget, did you stop the Coq 10 early on in your pregnancy?

Question: I've noticed since increasing my vitamin intake to include vitex, bee pollen , coq10, fish oil & soy isoflaves that my period is lighter & I have spotting well past when my period should end
This is only happening ow that I have tried this new vitamin regime

Any thoughts on what it means?

it does not look good to me, spotting should not be happening at all. Out of everything you are taking I think vitex or soy might be playing a part here. Others are rather harmless and not as strong to make such a difference. maybe try leaving soy off for the next cycle and see if spotting stops?

 

[peacebaby]

About Vitex and soy - perhaps you should try 1 rather than both?

Thank you Briss
Maybe your right I guess it's not spotting rather than its a end of my period being really light but longer than normal

I will stick to a low dose of vitex
Appreciate your feedback

this thread is pretty big, so forgive me if this has been answered already:

for those with bfps, how much coq10 did you take each day?

i read from a mama on another thread 200mg, 3xs a day.

do you recommend this amount? in conjunction with vitex?

thank you!!!

and good luck to all

Yes I think your right. Amazing the power of these herbs

I stopped CoQ10 as soon as I had BFP, as it had done it's work. Had I miscarried, I would have started back up w/it right after, same with DHEA. Supplements are more concentrated for fetus, so I don't take anything while pregnant except prenatal and fish oil, but I was on progesterone first Tri.

 

[peacebaby]

Vkj i was on 400mg daily then back down to 200mg on BFP. I slowly weaned myself off it between then and 6wks.

I agree Nottrusty, once the supplements have done their work its best to stop

You're halfway And right behind me too, i guess your little girl is due mid June then
