Ubiquinol...how much and for how long?

Hey,
So I’ve been looking into starting on ubiquinol if I don’t get a bfp this cycle.

I’m nearly 38 ttc number 4 and have read lots about it improving egg quality which at my age I need.

I’ve found some that have been recommended on lots of sites, I just keep find different info on what dosage to take?

Some say 300mg a day, some say up to 600mg a day.

Is it better to start with a lower dose?

Also do you take it continuously throughout your cycle, daily like you take folic acid? Or should you stop once ovulation is confirmed and then restart on cd1 again?

Are there any side effects? I’m sure I read somewhere that it can sometimes lengthen your cycle which is the only thing that’s put me off before as I currently take soy isoflavones to bring my ovulation forward as my cycles were long.

Any help much appreciated!!!

Can men take it too?
I've been taking it every day and giving hubby one aswell as he has dodgy sperm.

I'm new here and a bit late to this thread but here's my experience if it's helpful...
I'm 39, ttc first baby for 3+ yrs. I read 'it starts with the egg' while waiting for my fertility consultation and took a multi fertility vit, 300 mg ubiquinol, and 25-75mg (up the dose by 25 each month) of dhea over 3 months. My baseline scan showed I had 14 follicles developing and 5 were already starting to mature.
We had to wait 3 months before we started IVF and I stopped taking everything except the multi vit during the next 3 months. This baseline scan I had 5 follicles, 3 maturing. I was put on decpeptyl and 150mg ovaleap (FSH), went back for ultrasound on day 8, I had 2 follicles over 20mm and 1 at 11mm, the others had all reabsorbed. The cycle was cancelled and we tried IUI which unfortunately didn't work.
My Dr is going to try again after a cycle break with LH and FSH combination and I have started taking 200mg ubiquinol and 600mg NAC in the meantime. I will let you know if it increases my baseline and stimm response when I find out.
If it doesn't work next time I will probably take a 3 month break and take 300mg ubiquinol and the dhea again. The cost is difficult to cover though!
