I recommend taking ubiquinol instead of CoQ. It’s a purer form of the same thing. Also read it starts with the egg for some other advice. Best of luck.

Hi, best of luck with your fresh cycle, I just wanted to tell you, if your embryos are doing well till day 3 this means your eggs are ok and most probably it’s sperm issue. Ofcourse it’s better to give yourself the best chance possible with diet, life style choices and supplements but I think your other half has to do the same. X

I thought it was the other way round that after 3 days it’s the egg that is more important ? I got around 13 to day 5 on my last round... 2 made by twins and they froze 2 as they have high freezing .. 1 never implanted and the last one ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks x

No dear first Three days it’s the egg and after the sperm. If you think it’s implantation issue, there is a test that you can get done, also the level of your progesterone on the transfer day is so important, I’m sure you know all this, I made my clinic to do two blood test before transfer, and also took extra Cyclogest with my doctor permission. Good luck xx
