Research "Supplement CoQ10 could be key to pregnancy for older women"

[pinksmarties]

Hi all. Just looking for a bit of advice. I had mmc (had the erpc yesterday) and I have just started to take the CQ10 after reading all about it on here for when we are ready to try again (soon I hope!). The amount people take varies. What should I be taking? I have started on 100mg but should I go higher? Do I give to the OH also? I am 37 and he is 42. Thanks!!

so sorry for your loss

I'll tell you my story.. I started off at 400mg for two weeks and noticed a huge difference in my energy level. I decided to lower my dose to 100mg and then to 200mg but noticed that my energy level went back to what it was before I even started taking Coq10 so I started up again at 400mg and noticed a difference in my energy level right away...

Ive read that Coq10 helps with sperm and Ive read threads on here where ladies put their hubbies/OHs on it. I don't think it hurts. if this cycle is a bfn, I am going to force my hubby to take Coq10 and L-Arginine for his spermies as he has low motility

Hi girls

Just wondering what your thoughts are on which vitamins to take to help egg numbers and quality, the FS said the quality was fine but one didn't fertilise and the other 2 did but she said they didn't go any further so even though she says a judgment can't be made on three eggs I want to cover my bases.

I was thinking CoQ10, DHEA, I've taken Maca before so I might use that again and prenatals and Folic Acid. Anything else and I think I'm going to try acupuncture as well, I'm not going to start anything until I get AF from this current cycle. Also I need a good way to get protien that's kinda no fuss..Indigo I noticed you have protien smoothies do you get these from the health food store?

I was also thinking of trying the ceyenne pepper that LL is going to try to help blood supply, do these come in a supplement form? Thanks Ladies

you CAN get them in supplement form at GNC...look how many brands have it https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_7?url=search-alias%3Dhpc&field-keywords=cayenne+pepper+capsules&sprefix=cayenne

Also there you can get Protein powder if you like...have it like a shake! the best one in my opinion is the Platinum Hydro Whey...or you can get it at Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Platinum-Hydro-Chocolate/dp/tags-on-product/B002QZN8JW I personally use the Vanilla one but they have other flavors

That's what I use for my morning protein shake. I use the vanilla and add some fiber, my COQ10 shot, a banana and some cinnamon. It's yummy!

Great minds think alike I don't add anything to it but I make it with coconut milk https://www.iateapie.net/images/brands/silkpurecoconut.jpg

I eat eggs every morning...maybe the cholesterol will kill me? Lol

if you have one egg and just add egg whites you are better off

 

[Indigo77]

Ooh....coconut milk sounds good...I tried it with almond milk, but didn't like it as much....

 

[dachsundmom]

I use one whole egg and one egg white...


DD uses soy milk for everything; I tried it in my lattes, but couldn't get used to it at all.

 

[Indigo77]

I can't get used to soy, either...

 

[LLbean]

I must stay away from Soy cause of the estrogen

I love coconut milk I'm going to see about the protien shakes..its probably easier and then I know I've gotten what I need for the day and adding a banana etc sounds good as well...I might put DH on them as well, it won't hurt and if I get him on them he'll make them for us Win win situation, I've got an appointment for tomorrow to see about blood pressure..I'm hoping I can just get it down on my own and won't need to take anything.

Cut sodium from your meal and drink lots of water, that should help a bit. Watch for hidden sodium in food. It is a pain but start reading labels. You will be surprised at how much sodium is in everything

I'm going to stay away from anything that will mess with ovulation and just concentrate on making more eggies. Soy will mess with my head I think lol

I don't add salt, haven't for years because of my kidneys but I've stopped checking what's in food so I really need to start doing that again...once I get used to it again it'll be ok

Especially canned goods...that is how they preserve them...in salt!

My other favorite label thing is sugar... people do not realize how much sugar they are consuming... a glass of milk alone has 13 gr of sugar!

I KNOW!!!!!!!!! I was gobsmacked at this. I had gestational diabetes and could not figure out why my readings we not good despite being really careful with my food. I was drinking lots of milk cos I thought it was healthy - fail!!! I was allowed one small glass a day, had to cut out most cereals and fruits cos of their high sugar content.

It really is amazing what we consume without realising it.

I have started the CoQ10 and am doing 300mg per day, now I know it takes ages to get onto your system BUT I am now 2 doses of clomid in and no side effects. Last time I spent most of the night tossing and turning with insomnia and hot flashes. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

That is why I use coconut milk with my protein shakes if you get the ORIGINAL one it has a lot less sugar than regular milk

The CoQ10 I have supposedly gets absorbed by your body faster making it more readily available

Everything I have read about excessive hair growth, seems to be if CoQ10 is used topically....I cannot grow a beard.
