Over 40 ttc - summer baby dust for me!

Yes I do. I used to take 2-3/day but now I take them whenever I remember!

Thanks Ali. Do you take the 100mg ones?

Thanks Mimosa, I’d be surprised!

I take Woods Ubiquinol btw as they have a 3-for-2 offer on a lot.

Ali - I so hope it’s bfp for you later.

Cleo - is the brand Solgar?

Karigan - I always though FRERs were more sensitive than that so good to know. I’ll do a IC before bed, expecting a blank on that.

Thanks Cleo. I’m adding dizzy spells to the list now - I feel really crap this afternoon!

Critter that sounds really promising, especially the boobs thing, I had lots of stabbing pains with my bfp. I am very hopeful for you!
Ali hooefully it is not a cp. Test again tomorrow and see if its gets darker. Fingers crossed for you!

Mimosa I get a 200 dose from ebay, its the gold one thats usually really expensive from h&b but is much cheaper from ebay shop (same brand). I was only taking 100 a day but upped to the 200 dose now (one a day)

Makes no difference Ali. Even first response start at 25 and the range even at 5 weeks can be from 18 up

Thanks - it was First Response so should have been a sensitive one.

I did some reading about ubiquinol and while there was a lot of stuff about how it may help improve egg quality, the only vaguely factual info I found said that there was evidence that a daily 600 dose improved egg quality. The problem is that these are tests on mice as obviously experiments aren’t done on human embryos.

Some ladies on the infertility boards said their consultants recommended a dose of 300 per day so I dropped down to 1 capsule a day - didn’t want to risk over dose no anything while the embryos are on board.

Yeah I did s lot of googling at in many cases the hcg levels can still be fine for a good pregnancy and yet too low to show for several weeks past AF. If you look at hcg ranges for pregnancy and compare them with the tests it’s pretty clear that the range end falls outside what many tests can detect. So be patient and test again in a week.

Or if still not sure you can always get an ultrasound like I did. Unfortunately it wasn’t to stick but it was definitely there.

Because it’s too faint for this stage and I have cramping that started out of the blue this morning. I should have tested on Monday when AF was due. I have a strong feeling AF will arrive today or tomorrow.

Fab news @Alibaba2! Why do you think it might be a CP? Test again tomorrow and see if it gets stronger?

@littlemimosa I buy ubiquinol from Amazon. It’s a 300 dose and I think the onl6 300 dose on there.

Sounds positive Critter! Not long to wait.

So, AF didn’t arrive on Monday as expected. Had no PMT, white discharge (it’s normally brown before AF). No AF on Tues, Weds either. Getting hopeful by this point, but scared.

This morning woke up at 4am with cramps (this happened a few months ago too) - really felt like AF. Cramps went but came back again.

So just took a test quickly before the hormones drop and there is a faint line. Think it’s on the way out but at least I know I’m not going mad and imagining all these CPs!

Which brands of ubiquinol do you all take please? And dosage?

@Orchid - that’s great news - go pounce on hubby 😊

Thank you all who have been so kind and supportive and crossing your fingers for me - it means a lot when there aren’t many people you can talk to about it!

My symptom spotting continues! New ‘symptoms’ since last night are: odd shooting and cramping spams in vagina/cervix which come and go, this morning waves of nausea on and off all morning ( I actually had this yesterday morning too but it was much milder and I thought I might be imagining it - deffo much stronger today), breathlessness when I rush up stairs , do housework etc, a very different pain in boobs since last night - feels like they’re being punched or stabbed every now and again, and in between just a deep uncomfortable ache, and still no AF 😊

Do Any of those sound positive?

I am excited for you critter, and I agree re enjoying the feeling of hope. Really hope it all works for you.

Hello @LapsedHumanist and @nor77 so sorry to hear your story but such an amazing and beautiful outlook to you experience.. ( if that's the right word) brain is a little befuddled this morning.. ) keeping everything crossed for you CritterTamer 🤞🤞💕💕
