The LTTTC thread for everyone.

[Milty]

I have to say I didn't notice anything either

 

[Bravemom]

Not that I have noticed really

 

[Jennjenn]

Radiance...I got them from Walgreens

 

[Jennjenn]

The first bottle I bought several months ago was off of Amazon and $25...I found bogo free at Walgreens and started using those

443 pages later and I finally found the end of the thread! Wow, that was almost as long a journey as my two and half-ish years ttc. Hoping I can join; I'm 36, diagnosed with unexplained. Waiting to get to the top of the Ivf waiting list and still (naively) hoping it will happen naturally before then....I've posted a couple of messages on the other lttc thread but figured I could graduate to the over 35 thread?

Good Morning everyone! (6am here on Saturday morning)

Thought I'd check in and say "hi!" AF got me yesterday. Horrific migraine came along with it. Nothing like adding insult to injury.

We'll be using the ovacue this round and seeing if it helps at all with giving us additional info. We're both on enough supplements to feed a small herd. Surely something will give someday.

Have any of you used the COQ10? We've always used fish oil since early in our marriage (many moons ago) but I'm thinking at my age now, I might try adding the COQ10.

I've been trying to read up on the DHEA. I'm not sure of the exacts of why some use it? It obviously seems to help some, so I am curious and need to read up on it.

I hope everyone has a fabulous day and BFP's are fast on the horizon!

Welcome, Westminister!

Sorry you find yourself in need of being here, but you are certainly welcome. I'm newer here but can say that the other ladies here are wonderful, kind, and most helpful.

 

[Jennjenn]

I think many of us take coq10 and DHEA. It can take 3-4 months before you see results meaning a BFP

Thank you!!

I know I can find DHEA at a Walgreens or CVS. I'm about to find out if I can find DHEA over the counter at such pharmacies as well. We're in a big city today (St. Louis) so I thought I'd see what they have here vs back in the boonies where we live (pharmacies are a bit more limited there).

 

[LLbean]

you can get it at GNC too

Welcome Westminster!!!

H0peful- DHEA helps with low AMH which is a common problem in the over 35's It helps the adrenal gland produce hormones so our ovaries don't have to work as hard and this results in ovulating a better quality egg each cycle, it also help to actually ovulate the egg and not go through the motions of ovulating if that makes sense Q10 helps with egg quality as well and fish oil is also a good one to keep, zinc is very important as well as it takes a lot of zinc to mature an egg so that's another to think about that isn't expensive

DHEA has to be taken all cycle and as jennjenn said it can take up to 4 months to get results so hang in there with it

 

[H0pefulagain]

Right now, I take a supplement that has 15mg of zinc. What type of dosage do yall take for zinc?

We're picking up the DHEA and coq10 tonight. We did locate it at a pharmacy here so I'm happy with that.

Is there anything else I should be looking at seriously?

 

[crystal443]

My zinc is 75 mg I'm sure some of the other girls probably have things they take as well. LLbean is a great one to ask about supplements etc

 

[Milty]

I have zinc in my prenatal but it's only 10mg so I'm thinking that is to lame since maturing eggs is my main goal

 

[LLbean]

Hmm I'm not on any additional zinc over what is on other stuff I'm taking. Will have to check when I get home

 

[crystal443]

FS put me on zinc at my first appointment, he just said it takes a tremendous amount of zinc to do the final maturation of eggs, here's a link if that helps out https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100809133327.htm it kind of explains what the zinc does.

He just said to take an extra zinc tablet per day

 

[LLbean]

I totally forgot to look tonight but will in the am for sure
