Trying to conceive at 43 years old

[Canadianmom4]

So my husband and I have decided to try again after taking a break. I have a list of things I want us to take to help with fertility, egg quality and his sperm count. However, I don't know how much of everything to take. Also, has anyone had success with fertility blend for him and her? It's on my list of vitamins to get.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there... I'm Canadian too .... and 43! I have 2 older children (20 & 14) and am going to start ttc #3 next month.

I'm taking CoQ10, a prenatal multi-vitamin and an antioxidant blend called Reserve.

May I ask what your DH is taking? My DH is taking Reserve, but I'm not sure if I could get him to take anything else. He's very skeptical about supplements, vitamins, etc. There's been quite a lot on the news lately about multi-vitamins being ineffective, etc.

Anyway... Just wanted to stop by and say hello to a fellow Canuck and wish you lots of luck for 2016!!... Oh and **baby dust** too!!

Hmm im canadian and 43 as well! How funny is that we are ttc but being realistic in our expectations, if it doesn't happen we still have 2 amazing kids. I still have some frozen embies from our ivf which gave us our daughter (ivf is free here!)

Congrats left wonderin!
Good luck to you fab ladies

Hi! My dh took fertilaid for men and maca! There is a website www.doublepinkline.com that lists a bunch of supplements for women and men. I took a bunch of stuff including coq10, vitex, geritol, and some other things that i can't even remember right now. I am almost 41 and thinking of maybe trying for number 3!

Oh my gosh StranjeGirl--THANK YOU for posting that site! Never heard of it and am going to take a look after this

With our 1st two, I was only on a prenatal and DH took nothing. This time around, so far, this is our "menu":

Me: CoQ10
Folate
Royal Jelly in capsule form

DH:
Vitamin C
Folic Acid
L-Arginine
Zinc Orotate
Selenium

DH got sick 3 years ago (LOOOONG story) and his swimmers need help. He was on FertileAid for men, which he had zero problem with---we just literally now decided to try this alternate route after doing more research just to see if these other supplements may help him too.

I'm 41 and DH is 42

Good luck and BFP's to everyone!

Sorry it's taken me a bit to reply, but my husband is taking:

Fertility Blend
Multi Vitamin
COQ10
Maca Root
Calcium
B Complex
Fish Oil

I'm Taking:

Fertility Blend
Pre-Natal
Calcium
Fish Oil
Extra Folic Acid
COQ10
Maca Root
B Complex

I'm on CD 14 today, and we've BD'd the last 4 nights, and will for the next 3 nights. We've been taking all this for just a month and a half so I don't expect my BFP quite yet, but I am hopeful.

Good luck everyone and baby dust!
