Hello, I'm new here on the forum and I'm really counting on support and new hope. I'm over 40 and just after the fourth unsuccessful IVF cycle. I have not received a healthy aploid embryo so far. I am struggling with the quality of my occites. Previouslu I have been taking: Ubiquinol 400mg, DHEA 25

hi everyone, I recently got my AMH tested and it’s very low which has been a shock to me as it dropped badly to 0.26. I have read a lot about DHEA but my clinic is not in favour of this and insists on donor eggs but I feel I want to give one last shot. Does anyone know when to test DHEA and total

I'm taking Coq10 in the lead up to my 2nd IVF egg retrieval in the hope of improving egg quality (along with diet changes). Most of my eggs were immature in the 1st round leading to poor results...I've noticed many people recommend Uniquinol and I've just noticed I've been taking Ubiquinone. I bought

Hi everyone, The arrival of another period has sent me into another frenzy of Googling and questioning absolutely everything I'm doing. My period was a couple of days late and stupidly allowed myself to hope that it had finally happened 😞 So this mornings panic is - am I doing too much exercise,

I have just realised my Coq10 I’ve been taking for three months is ubiquinone form. I just thought I was taking ubiquinol 😫 Been doing 300mg twice a day. I’m worried I’ve missed a trick now. I’ve ordered some ubiquinol now but I’m starting downreg in about three weeks. Thoughts please lovely people

hello, so I feel like a fish out of water. Me and my husband have been trying to conceive for coming up to 3 years this February 25. We have had no luck not even a “maybe”. Last year we went for fertility testing privately as the gp really didn’t seem to care and said come back in 5 months once I’

So I have googled a lot of the posts in this forum on DHEA and it seems to be the general consensus that DHEA is worth taking (I have been taking it) but that when it gets too high it can intefere with egg quality, which is a concern. Like everyone I have read It Starts with the Egg and of course the

Hello, I’ve had strange unexplained bruising all over my legs so got a variety of blood tests through my docs. Only thing that has come back is what I believe to be under active thyroid. Is unexplained bruising a common symptom? I should add that in 6 months post partum. I had thyroid tested pre
