Ubiquinol???

[Liliv]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading that Ubiquinol can help me increase follicles. Do I need permission to take these? I'm always so worried about stuff like that but I really need to try it if it works xx

I have never asked permission to take it but by all means you should ask your consultant. I have been taking 100mg 3x a day for over a year. I’m kind of convinced that it helped as I had a lot of follicles and good quality embryos. Of course this most likely was due to combination of things but I’m definitely for ubiquinol!

Thanks Kari55 I only had 1 follicle at my scan and I'm waiting start and desperately want to try and improve it so I'll try anything.

I’m on it. My consultant didn’t recommend it as she says not enough research has been done on it but she said it can’t harm you so it’s worth a try x

Hey!! Thanks for replying. I asked the clinic and they have said I would need to be taking it for 3 months and we're likely to start the protocol in 3 weeks so I don't know if it's worth it now 😔

My clinic say 6 to 8 weeks. If you start it now and if the ivf doesn’t work at least you’ve made a start on it and can carry on with it again if you have another round? X

This is exactly what I did! I was only on it for around 3 weeks when I had my last cycle of ivf. But as soon as I got my bfn I started it up again and by the time I start my next cycle at the end of November, will have been on it for over 4 months. I'm hoping this time it's had an impact 🤞🏼 good luck to you xx
