Ttc using co enzyme q10?

@harry78 - 400mcg I believe but please do check that. I think all pre-natal supplements will be the same if you compare the quantities on the ingredients..

@Miami81 - how are things going?

Congratulations @Miami81, I so hope this is a sticky one for you huni. Bet you have a mixture of emotions today. All the best to you.

@littlemimosa
Thanks for that. Well I just got another bfp this morning. Hoping against hope that the last 4 months of ubiquinol etc really helps.
I think I will stop taking it now.
In terms of what else I am taking, it is pretty much all the normal ones that are in the pre natals, I have upped my dose of folic acid due to bmi and have been taking vit e as well.

@ckc45d10 how would you know it was fat/water soluble?

@Miami81 I'm so sorry for your losses. That is very tough. I've heard Solgar is a good brand. if it says Ubiquinol and not CoQ10 then I'd say you've got the right stuff. The thing we were talking about upthread is that your body converts CoQ10 (which we get from food) into Ubiquinol but that as we age our bodies lose the ability to convert it. I've read that it starts to decline from age 20! So some say that taking CoQ10 alone is a bit pointless, saying that though there are some very inspiring stories on here about people using it and falling pregnant. Dunno really. I bought Coq10 but am going to use it up then switch to Ubiquinol.
What else are you taking? I just take a full fertility/pre natal supp plus the Coq10 and probiotics.

Also wanted to ask those who took Coq10/Ubiquinol, apart from the fertility boost did you feel any extra energy boost?

Hi can I join the chat?
I have been taking ubiquinol solgar one at 200mg I think since my last mc in December. I think solgar are a good name so hoping that is one of the proper ones? Anyone know?
I am 35 with two mc in the last year, no children. It is all just so miserable, I would take anything if it meant I got a take home baby at the end of it.
I am on the full 'it starts with the egg' protocol, I really needed to feel like I was doing something positive for our chances. So every day I take around 9 tablets as I wanted to make sure i was taking the doses she suggested.
I would also be interested to know what your are all planning to take when you get pregnant again? I won't continue the ubiquinol if I get a bfp, but want to make sure that I am taking the best possible supplements.

Great to hear that ubiquinol worked for you!

For anyone considering trying CoQ10/ubiquinol out, it’s important to pick a CoQ10 supplement that is both water and fat soluble to be sure you are absorbing it. Feel free to PM me if you want the study information!

Hi,

I'm really interested in all the feedback on ubiquinol. I was taking it until recently but am now wondering whether stopping was the right thing to do given all the positive feedback!

I lost a baby due to tfmr in October and at the recent post mortem meeting with the consultant I got a grilling about what I'd taken when pregnant. Just to be clear he didn't say that ubiquinol could have caused any problems but he said enough generally to make me stop taking everything other than pregnacare conception.

I wondered if anyone knew the benefits (if any) of taking it under 40? I'm 38 so not that far off 40 anyway so would imagine the benefits are pretty much the same as for those over 40?

Re aspirin the advice I had was to take it from 12 weeks pregnant but only because I had pre eclampsia and blood pressures generally when having my dd.

Just wish there was a magic pill we could take!! X

I stopped taking it as soon as I got my bfp, not sure why just felt like the right thing to do.

Christmas 2015 I found out my AMH was extremely low and I only had 5 antral follies. Before our ivf cycle started in August, I took cq10, multi vitamins and had acupuncture.. I had 10 antral follicles before we started. I appreciate there is no way of knowing for sure if it made the difference but it couldn't have hurt!

For those that had BFPs, when did you stop taking it? I'm sure I read somewhere that you shouldn't continue into early pregnancy but I may have imagined that....

My favourite subject! I've posted on mn a few times about this! Ttc dc took almost 2 years was about to give up. I did some research and found compelling evidence for Ubiquionol took my chances and no joke, within a month I got my bfp. I used the Dr Best brand as it has something else useful in (pic attached). I gave birth just short of my
40th birthday. Good luck to all those trying.

It was ubiquinol, 200 daily throughout my cycle, I think, can't remember which brand but probably ordered off Amazon! I definitely started taking it a few months before ttc.

Yes i took both. (Late 30s and two miscarriages.) Third pregnancy went well, she's now 4yo. Obviously i dont know if either of these things made a difference, but i feel strongly that they did. Best of luck x

I read something that suggested that aspirin can be bad in some cases so I refrained from using it. I forget where I read it though sorry.

I'm 34 but have a v low AMH and struggling to conceive DC2.

I have taken 100mg of coQ10 since around Jan. I did get pg lat month but it was a CP.

I've continued taking it and I'm waiting to test in the next few days as cycle returned to normal quite quickly and I have some compelling symptoms.

I've also taken 75mg asprin since day after ovulation.

Thanks for the really helpful info littlemimosa - maybe I should up the coQ10 dose a little, along with exra folic acid (currently taking the recommended 4mg x3 a day but it seems the super dose are much higher!).

Congrats AliBingo

Congrats Alibingo - you deserve a bfp for that level of dedication if nothing else - think alcohol is all that keeps me sane!
