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

[choccielover]

I'm loving this thread, it makes me laugh everyday

I think cock is sooooo expensive though, does anyone else agree? The 200mg tub is over £30 from Holland and Barrett for a months supply!!!

I know it's small fry when you compare it to fertility treatment but it's not the only stuff I take...Pregnacare, Vit B6, Maca, FertileCM...phew!

I just got my COCK from Amazon this morning and gave OH one and a multivit. I've got the 100mg capsules so I took one myself but do I need to be taking more COCK? What's everyone else taking? Am also taking multivit prenatals with folic acid and Omega 3. But COCK's my favourite. LOL.

I'm always pleased to get more COCK.

What?

 

[Indigo77]

No more COCK for me....What about you, Super?

I'm still taking COCK, though I'm down to 200mg per day. It's helping with my overall energy--big time.

 

[Indigo77]

Maybe I should take it then....bcuz I have zero energy....

 

[SuperAwesome]

It couldn't hurt!

hi choccielover

have you tried Amazon? i found that both Pregnacare and CoQ10 (doctor's best brand) is better priced there.

need some new cock very soon! almost done the 2 bottles that I paid $90 for....I got the enhanced absorption stuff and I just did a search and found www.iherb.com, and 2 bottles with shipping to canada came to $30!

https://www.iherb.com/Natural-Factors-Coenzyme-Q10-Enhanced-Absorption-100-mg-60-Softgels/2715?at=0

Ive been taking 3 per day and tempted to up it to 6 per day for my 2 weeks of IVF stimming before egg retrival, but I assume it wont help if it takes months for eggs to develop....what do you ladies think? the girl at the vitamin store said the enhanced absorption stuff works faster than the regular

 

[dachsundmom]

Thanks Sarah! I have also been looking at puritanspride.com

My uncle swears by them and I have an order at home that I haven't opened yet.

IDK about doubling them when you start stimming; I have no idea if it's possible to over do the stuff.

Sarah-

I wouldn't double up on the super-absorb stuff. I think 1-2 months super absorb = 2-3 months regular. So you are likely in a pretty good spot already. on the cheaper, new source.

Hi everyone - just a reminder that no studies have been done on the safety of CoQ10 during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it is not proven safe to take during these times. (It may be, but without research no one can say.) So all the advice I've seen is that it should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Apparently there is some evidence that CoQ10 can decrease the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnancy, so if you are prone to preeclampsia speak to your doctor about taking it.

ok great to know, hope it will work!! will find out at ER in 2 weeks. If they tell me I have super human eggs then we know its good stuff!!

I will also stop if I get my BFP.

Have been on the COCK for a week now and it's, erm, started to have an unfortunate affect on me. I have been, how did dmom put it?....craptastic . Christ on a bike. I hope this is temporary.

I bought some awhile ago but did not take it often. Reading this thread a few weeks ago made me look for my bottles. Have been taking 100 mg about 4 days a week on average for a few weeks and this month my libido was up leading up to and during O. I wondered where it had gone to Coincidence or not
Have also been taking alot of food based vits I bought in August from Rainbowlight - they are supposed to be absorbed better - that could be a factor as well. The Coq10 I have is not food based but iron, b-complex and prenatal are.
