Ok, so im not a lemon 😂

[Purplewitch18]

Still negative today so this round despite going so well hasnt been the one. Woke up fighting today and will do everything possible to make next time even better, feeling positive. Decided to give dhea a go and hopefully ill be ok on it, and doing more research today to see what else i can do. Also gonna stick OH on some suppliments, even though they said he is fine can still make his swimmers even better! Also read acai berry is good for egg quality, and does dhea really improve amh? Thankyou for all of your support and kind words this week 😘😘😘

Lemonade 🍋 it is then 💪🏻😆🤪👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤣🤣😘😘😘😘😘

I joined the coq10 gang this time around and the husband is hopefully taking his man tablets.

If your body is lacking something then great , and if it’s not then your body won’t use it . Seems sensible to me 😘💐💐💐👌🏻👯

( I still think it’s less painful to be hopeful on the journey and two week wait , less of a waste of energy and your heart won’t sink double low if the answer is ‘not yet’ this time)

Sending love and hugs of complete understanding ,

Well done brave soldier,

Love and hugs 🤗

Rhinocat x 💐🍋💖🙏🏻

[Purplewitch18 in reply to RhinoCat]

Thanks Rhino. Well ive worked a lot on egg quality but never tried the dhea, was too scared, though my clinic told me too. The success rates do go up significantly when its been taken. Seriously, im like a suppliment expert 🤣, this comes from years of managing endometriosis naturally, and it works! I take co q10 anyway its great for a lot of things, including chronic fatigue, definately a great suppliment to be on. Ill be getting OH some “man tablets”, dont see why he cant take them too xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purplewitch18]

Where should I read about DHEA? My clinic just say take folic acid

[JoP32 in reply to RhinoCat]

I’d be keen to know about this too! Xx

[Purplewitch18 in reply to JoP32]

Omg you guys, your clinics havent told you about this?! Its standard practice in the us, if you google dhea and amh you will see a load of studies and youtube vids etc. Only reason i didnt try it earlier is because i was scared it would flare up my endo but theres conflicting info so may as well try it xx

[ttcemmie]

Hi lovely. I'm glad you're in a positive attitude mood for the future. Definitely stick OH on some supplements! It all helps and it gives them something to do towards this! xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to ttcemmie]

Yeah, supplements and housework duties 😆😘

[Purplewitch18 in reply to RhinoCat]

We can dream eh 🙄xx

[Purplewitch18 in reply to ttcemmie]

Definately ttcemmie! Yes, back to my positive self, im never down for long 😁xx

Hey lovely! So glad to hear you back and fighting, you really are amazing I would be wallowing for weeks.

I have been to health food shop today and bought some Ubiquinol, which is CRAZY expensive and also some Royal Jelly as my best round I was on that. I have heard the Ubiqionol is better than CQ10 but it’s like 75p a tablet!! The royal jelly I feel is natural anyway so can’t do any harm surely! (I am in 2ww but so convinced it’s already failed all I can do is focus on what to do differently next round as think it will be our last)

Where have you found DHEA? Do you know what dosage to take

I love your positivity and am cheerleading you on all the way xx

[Purplewitch18 in reply to Hidden]

Hey Daisy, aww please dont think that its failed already. Yes royal jelly is great also ubiquinol, and expensive i know!, but worth it. Your body converts coq10 to ubiqunol, so you can just do the q10 but need larger quantites of it. I take at least 400mg daily, as i take so many suppliments for endo also it was bankrupting me buying uniquinol aswel! I found Dhea on biovera uk, the dose is 75mg daily, and this was also told to me by my clinic. Its was £23 for 300 tablets and you can also get a discount for first orders. I actually like this part, the getting my body ready. I have full control over it and i know im improving my situation. If youd have seen me a year or so ago, back and forth to a and e, in excrutiating pain, and how ive turned that around just by diet and suppliments the difference is amazing. I do beleive we can do the same for our fertility xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purplewitch18]

What is DHEA for and how long do you need to be on it before egg collection ?

[Purplewitch18 in reply to RhinoCat]

Ideally 3 months as your eggs start a new cycle, but even a month can make a difference xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purplewitch18]

Too late for me this time then as I’ve had down reg and start stims on 18th. Awh well

[Purplewitch18 in reply to RhinoCat]

Its not too late at all, youve not even started stims yet. Have a read up on it and see what you think and if its for you. Its great youre on the coq10 already, just make sure youre taking enough of it xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purplewitch18]

Im taking 300mg of coq10 . ( I bought 100mg ubiqinol too but haven’t taken that as the coq10 arrived early)

[Purplewitch18 in reply to RhinoCat]

300 should be enough, i take more but thats personal choice. If you swap to the ubiq you need x2 of those a day xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purplewitch18]

Thanks, having a search for DHEA here as we speak . Thanks 🙏🏻

[Purplewitch18 in reply to RhinoCat]

No problem, feel free to pm me if you want to know what im on xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Purplewitch18]

🤣🤐

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

I've just started ubiquinol (a little too late for this round!). What do you do with royal jelly? xxx

[Purplewitch18 in reply to ttcemmie]

You can either buy it as a food and just take a spoonful, or you can buy it in capsules which is easier to take xx

[Hidden in reply to ttcemmie]

I took royal jelly capsules - one a day I think they are 300mg. I don’t know why I stopped as that round I got much better quality eggs than any other round xx

[Purplewitch18 in reply to Hidden]

Ive heard a lot of women have better eggs from taking it xx

[Purplewitch18]

Oh and by the way, my period came today so it can still come while on crinone, just incase this is useful to anyone xx

[Purplewitch18]

Ill probably get told off for writing about suppliments on here, but ive only mentioned ones given by my clinic so hopefully ok. Also look into nac and alpha lipoic acid xx

[KiboXX]

Glad you’re feeling more positive today! I don’t have any advice other than the normal ones but just wanted to say happy to see you’re going to try again 😊♥️

[Purplewitch18 in reply to KiboXX]

Thankyou hunny. Yes we are but im going to have a break first xx

[Purplewitch18]

Erm, just went to chuck preg test in the bin and theres a faint line 😬, like really faint, clinic gave me a crappy blue dye test with the clear test strip. Dunno if its an evap, think im going to have to test just to make sure, dont know how to post a pic of it xx

[Hidden in reply to Purplewitch18]
