@NamechangeTTC a positive is peak. So if you get 3 days of positive tests you're peaking for 3 days and need to have sex for 3 days plus a 4th day for ovulation then you skip one day and do it again.

A high opk is almost positive

But is positive high or peak?

I’m fine with tablets it’s him that isn’t.

@NamechangeTTC really? Maybe hubby and I are used to big tablets because the pregnacare and wellman don't seem huge to us but in South Africa we do get much stronger medication which would mean bigger tablets than in the UK so maybe thats why but we honestly drink them without any issues and I hate tablets lol!!

SMEP is do it every other day from the day your period finishes until you get a positive opk then you do it on peak day, on ovulation day, skip one day and do it again.

Oh he was on well man but couldn’t tolerate the size. Coq10 is all I’ll manage him for now and got him buying us pomegranate juice which also help apparently. Thinking SMEP this month but unsure about what it means by high- high or our peak?!

@NamechangeTTC oh ok makes sense. I thought the liver thing was for women not men my bad. I heard it take a few months for it to get into your system so best start ASAP. Really hope that helps.

@Kaybobx maca has been good for my moods too lol I guess because I am taking it everyday I take it for granted now. Youre right not stopping that one. Just know hubby will hit the roof if I give him more than 3 tablets a day to drink whahahah. He already thinks its too much. Alright will swap panax ginseng for coq10.
Fun fact just checked the well man ingredient list and it has maca root and ginseng in it lol!!! Who knew but very low quantities so it must help with sperm quality if they are adding it in. And there's coq10 in as well but its only 2mg not gonna do much hey lol.

@candycrush2298 maca is good for my moods, i can tell when i dont take it. Literally can't stop that. Need to try hubby on something though as he's not taking anything at the minute

NamechangeTTC · 18/09/2020 21:07

I’ve ordered those last two too but not the £40 tubs

NamechangeTTC · 18/09/2020 21:03

No just two cause of the liver things. Two tubs of them and one soy on the 3 for 2.

@Kaybobx yep there's loads of things people recommend that worked for them. The coq10 is for both men and women so thinking of replacing our maca root with it once we run out. Not sure how much we have left. But I would get coq10 for hubby and ubiquinol for me.

@NamechangeTTC was just thinking if hubby takes 4 tablets a day of the tesco one that would put you at £20 a month

@candycrush2298 @NamechangeTTC jeeze theres so many things to take. Confusing!

candycrush2298 · 18/09/2020 20:59

@NamechangeTTC the Tesco ones are only 100mg so will you make hubby take 4 a day lol? If so you would need way more than one tub a month whahaha

@NamechangeTTC yep whoever said TTC was cheap obviously got pregnant unexpectedly lol!!! The things we have to try are unbelievable. Once my hubbys panax ginseng and maca root (we both take this) run out then I am going to see what else is on the market to try.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 18/09/2020 20:47

Ooft the uniquinol is so expensive! It said younger men can metabolise coq10 so I might start with the Tesco £5 ones rather than £40! It’s adding up. Two fertility reflexology booked again

This is the one I was looking at because its got omega 3 in which is realllllllly good for fertility and comes in the expensive preconception vits my cheapie pregnacare doesn't have it.

But on mumsnet I was reading multiple threads and everyone recommended this brand for him and her and they got pg first cycle

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B0YCMSS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_eIqzFbRQXR96E?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Another thread people had these Royal Jelly tablets people are swearing by using what bees make

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MFLG2ML/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_8IqzFbJD3ZV81?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

And then the video one of us shared about things to do whilst in the TWW the homeopath said to take calc flour from ovulation to AF/BFP to help implantation as it strengthens the lining.

Yes my Amazon basket is full hahahah

@NamechangeTTC yes I have read it but heard for women over 25 its best to take ubiquinol which is what COQ10 is derived from and we break it down better and I THINK same goes for men so might be worth getting the 200mg tablets make hubby take 2 and you take one??

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 18/09/2020 20:01

I’m starting at 200mg as 300mg and above can impact the liver. Might be worth considering.

Def upping my soy.

Kaybobx · 18/09/2020 19:59

@NamechangeTTC thank you!!! Added to my Amazon basket. I'll be forcing 400mg down hubbys throat lol. Next month I'm getting pregnant!!!! AF can absolutely F right off 😂

Seen a few links for it

Kaybobx · 18/09/2020 19:53

@NamechangeTTC oooh whats that?

NamechangeTTC · 18/09/2020 19:47

Anyone got the menfolk on coq10? I’m tempted to try 200mg this month with 400mg as an option. Both improve motility.

Boc86 · 18/09/2020 19:31

Ah no sorry @NamechangeTTC
