over 40 conception

I’m 41 going through my first cycle. I wanted to try and improve my chances of success due to my age. So have been taking coenzyme q10, regularly, as well as low dose melatonin, and omega 3 oils, folic acid and multivitamins. Also undergoing acupuncture and light therapy to improve egg quality.

I’ve read about some evidence of the above with improving egg quality. Interestingly I also came accross a study where prayer helps with ivf and was published! I have faith in god in any case but thought might be helpful to share.

we are likely just doing one cycle so will share outcome in a few weeks. Hope useful to others, but there does seem to be evidence of success in older women with the above. Ovarian rejuvenation seems another method although more trials needed.

Good luck and hope you have success
