Answer

My regiment is very similar to the CCRM supplements administered to women who are poor responders/ have poor egg quality. CCRM is one of the top reproduction facilities in the U.S specialising in older women ttc. The only thing I don't include is the pycnogenol( more for men) and l- arginine. L-arginine is a blood thinner, serrapeptase is also a bit of a blood thinner, so I chose the supplements that worked best for my personal situation. I had my tubes checked  years ago with a possible slight blockage in the right tube, so because of that the serrapeptase trumps the L- arginine!  I'd rather have clear fallopian tubes!! At any rate, if anyone is curious just look up CCRM supplements for poor responders. You'll see the full supplement list that has worked for many women through CCRM! (I added PQQ for extra egg health benefits.If you research PQQ for fertility, I almost guarantee that you'll want to include that in your daily vitamin supplements as well!) 😀

Share more about the dhea and what you know about it? Do you have a professional that suggested it and aporoves it?

I ask because after lengthy research it just seemed so uncertain how safe it was. So many places flagged it as not to be used in child bearing years.

I'm currently taking Ubiniquol, Coq-10, vitamin C, l-arginine, pycnogenol, fish oil, and  Ovboost (vitamin E, folate, grapeseed, melatonin & Myo-inositol).

3 weeks of taking it & Dr said my ovaries very active vs nothing prior. Don't know if its the supplements or the one round of clomid i did 7 weeks that helped start things. I'm mainly taking it with the hopes to have very healthy eggs by the time we conceive. I'm 40 years old. Saw the Dr because i wasn't conceiving after a loss which turns out my eggs weren't releasing. I'm also on birth control starting tomorrow for one month to dissolve a coule cysts.

I'm on a lengthy list of supplements. Some are Red clover, maca, tribulus, damiana, green vitamin powder, amino acids, shatavari. They each have their effect. It seems a lot of us have cleansed and gone healthy. Most importantly I pray.

Husband is taking FertilAid for Men, Count Boost, Motility Boost, CoQ10 (ubiquinol), zinc, and two daily
Smoothies as well.

I've ordered Royal Jelly as well as my natureopath has stated "It certainly can't hurt".  Has anyone had experience with Royal Jelly or knows if someone who has had success with it?

Answer

I'm taking 600mgs of c Q10 (ubigunol) and a fertiliaid. The fertiliaid only has 400mgs of folic. That seems low for my age. Also it doesn't seem to have much vitamin d3. I'm wondering if I should increase both. Any opinions?

Answer

I get mines from GNC.
