Hi @VenusStarr I’m not to bad thank you. Still trying to stay sane through all this madness.

Yes they are pricey which is why I had to look into it more as I don’t trust the reviews you read anymore. I’ve spoke to the doctor and just recommended vit d and folic. But I just need to be doing more.

Hi @CL1982 I have heard of this before. But have always been afraid to try it because I don’t know if I’d become obsessed with it when it’s not always manageable. Sperm ok. Not sure on egg quality. Have had tests and I do have a blocked tube but not had an amh yet. Thanks for the reply x

I can heavily recommend ‘It stars with the Egg’. Some of it is a little ‘aghhh’ (cutting out all plastic turned out to be really hard) but actually a few of the supplement advice was spot on (bits C, D and E for example which are all pretty cheap). I can really recommend if you’re looking to improve egg/sperm quality?

Hi @Carley321 👋 how are you?

I've not heard of them but just googled and looked at the ingredients and they're pricey and not sure they're much different to other fertility supplements. The one thing that stood out was its got 100mg of coq-10 - ubiquinol is absorbed more effectively, I take 200mg a day and am considering doubling my dose. I saw a recurrent miscarriage consultant this week and he was happy with me taking this plus folic acid and vitamin D. He didn't mention that I needed to take anything else.
