Ab7890:Coq10, maca yes but Addyzoa, some mamas here said it did not help, even though it helped one or two here. I will say if that is what you have or what your doctor prescribed then go ahead. |
Gratefulheart2:If you still have not gotten it chat me up on what's or send a mail. |
Dymo11:In addition make sure you eat alkaline food and fruits that circle and before. Acidic vagy/honey pot can be very hostile to male/XY sperm. XY sperms strive more in an alkaline friendly environment. You both(mummy and daddy) should try and avoid acidic food and fruits. |
Good morning beautiful mamas.. |
Who is ovulating and tracking their circle this week? ![]() You can post your opk and bbt chart and ask any question. Anyone can answer.. Know when you are ovulating and baby dance(se3) with your dh. Not knowing your ovulating time or period can cause delay in your trying to have a baby. BBT means Body Basal Temperature. It's your first temperature every morning, at the same time when you wake up. It's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning, even before getting up from bed. Your temperature drops just before ovulation and rises after ovulation. It stays up for at least 3 days. Most times you have a deep/drop during implantation. When you get pregnant it stays high and when you are about to have a period your temperature starts dropping. For this method of tracking to work, you have to take your temperature for 2/3 months to find a pattern. You can download premom/easyathome app from google store and input your daily morning temperature and OPK pictures. It also tells when your OPK is positive. When you are about to ovulate, when you have ovulated. It's an app for TTC mamas. OPK means Ovulation Prediction Kit. It a test that predict when you will be ovulating. Unlike the pregnancy test that says positive with two lines, whether the second line is faint or not. An OPK is only positive when the second line is as dark as the first line, or even darker than the first line. Fertility blessings my people. |
Hello beautiful mamas and papas how are we doing beautiful/Handsome? You are all kindly welcome to check up my new thread. More often new thread that will help (Educate and others for fun)TTC mama/papas will be coming up. Read up and Pls stay tune! Fertility Blessing all! |
On this thread we will be talking about fertility supplements and how they boost our fertility. Every TTC mama/papas and mamas/papas that graduated from TTC are welcome to contribute and ask questions. Also tell us if you used this supplements while trying to conceive now that you are pregnant or have had a baby. Today we will be talking about Ubiquinol/Ubiquinone/Coq10 Are you among the thousands of people told you have poor egg or poor sperm health? Perhaps you are over the age of 35 and trying to conceive. If this is you, you just came across crucial information that may greatly increase your chances of healthy conception and a healthy baby. The most biologically-active form of coenzyme Q10, known as Ubiquinol, has been shown through several studies to improve both egg and sperm health, while playing a key role in protecting DNA at a cellular level. CoQ10 is considered by many to be the miracle nutrient because almost every living cell relies on it for energy production. An important fact that you may not know is that the body requires certain levels of CoQ10 to function properly. If these blood levels drop, the body becomes more susceptible to disease and premature aging. This is why CoQ10 is so vital to the health of both the male and female reproductive system- most importantly egg and sperm health. But to truly understand why CoQ10 is so important to health, you must first learn what it is and why its most biologically active form, Ubiquinol, is a key player in improving egg and sperm health. What is CoQ10 & How Does it Work? CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that is produced naturally by the body, but it is also available as a nutritional supplement. It is present in the membrane of almost every cell in the body and is required for mitochondrial ATP synthesis, which is responsible for creating cellular energy. There are two forms of CoQ10, ubiquinone and Ubiquinol. CoQ10 starts off as ubiquinone and then is converted within the cell to the more powerful Ubiquinol. Ubiquinol is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants. CoQ10 is a considered a “vitamin-like” nutrient because it is synthesized in the membrane of human cells, but it is also obtained in small amounts through dietary intake. It is most abundantly found in organ meats, but can also be found in dark leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale and broccoli, nuts, seafood, and meat, though the amounts of leafy greens a person would need to consume to obtain therapeutic amounts of CoQ10 would be high. That is why nutritional supplementation of CoQ10 and/or Ubiquinol is suggested. Most all CoQ10 supplements available are in the form of ubiquinone. Ubiquinol is different in that it is the most biologically active form of coenzyme Q10 and does not need to be converted by the body. Ubiquinol is eight times more potent than ubiquinone. Studies have shown that the presence of the most biologically active form of coenzyme Q10 Ubiquinol in the cell membrane may help reduce cell and DNA damage caused by free radicals, which has been shown to reduce blood pressure and improve egg health, sperm health and, in turn, embryo quality. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cell structures. In normal everyday life free radicals are produced from the activity in our bodies (for example, free radicals are made during ATP synthesis for energy production) but chemicals in our surrounding environment can also create free radicals. It is said that each cell in our body is attacked about 10,000 times a day by free radicals, accelerating the aging process. As we age, the ability of the body to produce and metabolize ubiquinone to Ubiquinol declines. In turn so do energy levels and cellular health. This may be due to increased metabolic demand as the body ages, poor nutritional intake, gene mutation, and oxidative stress. Some reports have stated that this decline becomes most apparent around the age of 40, but may begin as early as 20 years of age. So, what can be done now to increase levels of CoQ10? Supplement with Ubiquinol. Why Ubiquinol is Superior to CoQ10 Alone Remember how I mentioned that most all CoQ10 supplements are made of the inactive form known as ubiquinone? Well, by supplementing with the most biologically active form of coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol), you are able to bypasses the body having to use energy to convert the ubiquinone to Ubiquinol. Ubiquinol provides a strong first-stage antioxidant effect against cellular oxidative damage. Ubiquinol needs to be replenished regularly to maintain cellular health and proper function of the entire body. Ubiquinol is readily and easily absorbed in the intestinal tract, making it more “bioavailable” than ubiquinone. Studies have shown that Ubiquinol is eight times more potent than ubiquinone. For people under the age of 30, the body may be able to easily convert CoQ10 supplements from ubiquinone to Ubiquinol. But for those who are older, suffering from chronic disease or exposed to excessive oxidative stress, Ubiquinol may be a superior choice of supplementation because it can readily replenish Ubiquinol stores. Ubiquinol to Improve Reproductive Health and Boost Fertility Several diseases associated with infertility and reproductive dysfunction are linked to oxidative stress including endometriosis, unexplained infertility, PCOS, POF, menstrual cycle irregularities, preterm labor, recurrent miscarriage, egg health, sperm health, and motility. Several studies show that antioxidant supplementation can reduce oxidative stress, which positively affects the outcome of each of these issues. Click here to shop for Fertilica™ Ubiquinol Start With Egg and Sperm Health! In order to have a healthy pregnancy and baby, both the ova and sperm must be healthy! The cells of a developing embryo just after conception cannot divide properly if either ova or sperm health is poor, resulting in miscarriage. If the ova and sperm are very poor in health, conception may not be able to occur, even through IVF. Researchers think that CoQ10 supplementation may help cells function more normally and divide more normally by restoring normal energy to the mitochondria in each cell. This is very important when considering conception and how the first stages of life are dependent on proper cell division. Ova (Egg) Health For women over the age of 35, ovum (egg) health begins to dramatically decline. Once a woman is over 40 years old, ovum health continues to decline and at a quickening pace. Each ovum is but a single cell, the health of each ovum matters greatly. Within each ovum is the blueprint of a future child; DNA is the genetic code inherent to the healthy life of a human being yet to be. Ubiquinol has been shown to inhibit DNA oxidation (damage from free radicals), thus protecting the genetic code. A study published in Fertility and Sterility showed that supplementation of 600 mg of CoQ10 daily by older women improved both egg quality and fertilization rates. Other studies published in Fertility and Sterility also showed the same improvements in the ova of older mice. A preliminary study of mice by Dr. Robert Casper and colleagues at Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, showed that CoQ10 supplementation on mid-aged female mice resulted in more pregnancies and more babies per litter. “They found that when CoQ10 was given to 52-week-old mice – about mid-age for a mouse – their eggs appeared to rejuvenate. There were significantly more egg follicles in the old mice treated with the CoQ10…” Sperm Count & Health Just as each ovum contains DNA, so does each sperm, the other vital half to the creation of a child. CoQ10 deficiency may lead to not only damaged DNA within the sperm, but low levels affect the ability of sperm to swim, known as motility. Ubiquinol supplementation has a twofold support system for sperm health, one it is protective and second it supports motility by increasing cellular energy. CoQ10 is found in the highest concentrations inside the mitochondria of all cells. For sperm, this is located in the midsection, the area where energy production occurs that powers the tail whip. The higher the blood levels of CoQ10, the greater the sperm’s ability to be strong swimmers. A study in 2009 showed that low levels of CoQ10 in the seminal fluid impacts sperm motility, but supplementation with CoQ10 greatly improved and restored sperm motility in men with very low levels of sperm motility. One study showed that healthy sperm, with normal morphology (shape), incubated with 50 mg of CoQ10 had a significant increase in sperm motility. That same study also showed that 17 patients with low fertilization rates who supplemented with 60 mg of CoQ10 daily for 103 days had a significant improvement in fertilization rates. Defective sperm function in infertile men has been shown to be directly associated with increased free radical stress. This is where Ubiquinol supplementation may greatly help to protect sperm health, as well as the health of all the cells that make up the reproductive organs, and the entire body. Note from Kimberly Langdon M.D., OB/GYN: While mice studies are not always indicative of human response, CoQ10 as an antioxidant alone would be protective of eggs in general as described in the 2018 study out if China in the journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology below. “CoQ10 pretreatment resulted in significantly lower gonadotrophin requirements and higher peak E2 levels. Women in CoQ10 group had increased number of retrieved oocytes (4, IQR 2–5), higher fertilization rate (67.49%) and more high-quality embryos (1, IQR 0–2); p < 0.05. Significantly less women treated with CoQ10 had cancelled embryo transfer because of poor embryo development than controls (8.33% vs. 22.89%, p = 0.04) and more women from treatment group had available cryopreserved embryos (18.42% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.012). The clinical pregnancy and live birth rates per embryo transfer and per one complete stimulation cycle tended to be higher in CoQ10 group but did not achieve statistical significance.” In addition Langdon shares, “Since fertilization depends on good eggs being retrieved, by default one would argue that the eggs were better in the treated group compared to placebo because more were fertilized and produced better embryos. Furthermore, more cyropreserved embryos are dependent on good eggs.” I spite of inconclusive studies with human or animal subjects, Ubiquinol is a safe supplement with so many proven benefits as an anti-oxidant that when faced with egg health or advanced maternal age, supplementing is worth considering. In any case, all people should be on it for all of its benefits to other body systems including the heart, etc. Supplementing with Ubiquinol Ubiquinol is easily altered by both light and air. Once it is exposed to light and air, it converts back to the oxidized form of CoQ10, ubiquinone. Because of this, development of a bulk Ubiquinol supplement for consumers proved to be difficult. Today, through advanced technology, scientists have developed a process that has perfected stabilization of Ubiquinol, keeping intact its active electron-rich benefits through a specialized softgel that protects it from oxidation. The general suggested daily dose of Ubiquinol for the average person is 100 mg per day. For those who are older or suspect decreased levels of CoQ10 due to health issues, supplementation may be started at 200-300 mg per day for two weeks. After two weeks, blood plasma levels plateau and dosage may be lowered to 100 mg per day, as maintenance. Click here to shop for Fertilica™ Ubiquinol The Importance of Diet Supplementation of Ubiquinol alone cannot serve its purpose if healthy diet and lifestyle are not in place. The role of diet in cellular health and fertility is truly the foundation for proper reproductive function. We find that without eating a whole food Fertility Diet, Ubiquinol cannot be as effective. Learn all about the Fertility Diet here… Supplementing with Other Antioxidants For those who want to improve reproductive function, learning how supplementing with “sister” (other types) antioxidants is also important. Ubiquinol is not the only antioxidant that is important to fertility, so are Lipoic acid, vitamin E, vitamin C, and Glutathione. Antioxidants rely on one another to revive each other, so each one can continue on protecting cellular health and function. While Ubiquinol is considered the most powerful of all antioxidants, these other antioxidants play their own important key role in proper function of the body, including egg and sperm health. Learn more about each of these important antioxidants here… Reduce Exposure to Free Radicals The human body is bombarded by free radicals daily. Not only can Ubiquinol, antioxidants and diet help improve cellular health and energy, but so can reducing exposure to free radicals. Avoid car exhaust, chemical pollution, smoking, alcohol, excessive exercise, and hydrogenated oils.

cherishyy:7 days?!! 3days..5days. Never heard of 7 days. |
Fireandice0589:Through scan, hsg, physical examination if the adhesion is on the cervix. And again the doctor needs to be experienced to know what to look out for. Which area do you feel pain. |
nneejima:Yes darl, you can very much take coq10 but ubiquinol is better. Ubiquinol is the bioavailable coq10 and works better. More expensive too. You can also take ovacare if that is what you have and can afford. You take them and pray to God to make them work for your conception. |
Glorioussugar:Work on your egg quality hun.. There are lots of ways to do so. Omega fish oil. You can get this from your local pharmacy. Ubiquinol, Vitamin D3, eat plenty of green veggies, carrot, cucumber etc. Check my post, I have answered this question in the past. Their are many ways to increase your egg quality. Do this for 3 to 6 months straight. For shorter circle, one thing that helped at a time is: Vitamin c 200mg with a ferious tablet daily or take a multivitamin/Pregnacare. If you have short luteal phase speak with your doctor. He/she may place you on progesterone two days after a confirmed ovulation. Continue with the progesterone if you conceive (your doctor will up your dose when you conceive) and stop when you see your period. Whatever supplement you take. Always allow your body to rest intermittently after 3 to 6 months. Fertility Blessing all. |
joliefille:My darling, you may or may not have adhesion. The kind or type of hysteroscopy and the experience of who did it matters a lot. Yes dear you can very much get scars/adhesions from hysteroscopy. Some people don't even know they have adhesions.. their Doctor may not know too. Especially if they are not well experienced. That is why we all need to read up. Research is the key to knowledge my darlings. Read..read read and ask your doctors questions. Keep asking until you get the right answers. And ofcos, pray pray and keep praying all the way through this journey. We all need God. I had severe adhesion when I had an operative hysteroscopy. A serious one at that. Thank God that the Fertility specialist/gynecologist placed me on wobenzym weeks before the procedure and the Almighty God was involved in my case. When I started having severe pain about a week/days after. I added serrapeptase. Intact the whole story is/was scary and personal.... let me stop here. ![]() And the end of the whole thing God healed me sha. copy: Fireandice0589 |

Inkopere:Almost omitted your post...No doctor here though. We are mamas and papas who have life experiences from ttcing The result is bad. Do a semen culture and use two most positive medication to treat infection. Eat healthy, stop smoking if you smoke, stop hard drugs if you do them, stop alcohol. Very important. Eat healthy, no junk. Life change to a positive one will bring positive result. Take Wellman original, zinc 30 or 50mg, Vitamin C 1000mg, Vitamin E 400iu daily for 6 months uninterrupted. But make sure you treat infection. Very important Wear boxers..no night pant for now. Free you joystick/tools/instrument as much as possible. |
Tripletwins222:My dear, if it's just brown then continue pls. Brown means old blood which was there before. How is it now. Hopefully the old blood should have seized by now. Like I said earlier, please do not use Chinese tea, vitex or any herbs whatsoever until you are two months post operation/surgery |
GodwilldoitAmen:No dear. Maybe you don't ovulate when you think you do. Or it's taking some time to work on your eggs so that you release good eggs. I know it sometimes extend period date by a day or two which could be as result of the Vitamin B6 in it. I think about 10mg of Vit B6. B6 helps to extend your luthial phase to give your eggs/embryo enough time to reach it's destination/uterus. Which is a good thing |
. |
cherishyy:Thank you my dear cherishyy. May your heart's desires be granted in Jesus name. Amen. She knows what she is doing. She did that on purpose. |
My dear Godwilldoit, stay strong love. God that did it before will do it again in Jesus name. Yes as customizedme said, there are mamas praying and crying to God because their period did not come and they are not pregnant. So look at the bright side dear. Try cross your T's and dot your i's 1. Make sure you treat any infection to avoid a reoccurrence 2. Eat healthy. Make sure your eggs and dh sperms are healthy. 3.Do a scan to be sure nothing like fibroids is blocking the way. 4. Yes, you can repeat hsg if the last was 6 months ago. Be very careful where you do hsg. Note that doing hsg too frequently and doing with quacks can cause adhesion or scar tissue on your cervic which could further cause delay. When a woman has swollen cervix it likely she has adhesion/scar tissue which may cause delay. Avoid inserts that could damage your cervic. So pls rule that out. (Others can learn from this) 5. You could give Chinese tea a try. Use rightly. Anywhere around 3 days after period to about a day or two before ovulation. 6. Progesterone 3,4 days after ovulation confirmation. Very important you continue if or when you conceive. 7. Pray pray pray By Gods grace I did not do cerlage but i used progesterone and God saw me through. Even when my doctor said i could stop at 16 weeks. At my age and pregnant, had history of miscarriages and long years of trying. My sister i continued till 3rd trimester o. Pls bear in mind that body differs. Please my dear avoid stress and hard work during pregnancy. Rest well. Avoid food that triggers contractions or labour. Some people can eat pepper soup with all the strong spices, take bitter leaf and all the strong leaves, take pineapple and other fruits that bring on cramps and labour and they might not have issues. Some will definitely miscarry or have preterm labour if they do. Body differs. Please play save. And stay away from these food/fruits/spices. Water. It's importance can never be overlooked. Drink plenty water when pregnant. Even before pregnancy sef. At least two big bottles of eva daily(that is 3ltrs). It wade off or prevents some infection, keeps you hydrated which can help with cramps and preterm contractions. Helps in circulation and blood flow to the uterus. I remembered adding some little juice to flavor my water because pregnancy induced nausea will sometimes stop me from taking enough water. Another thing that helped me take water is ijebu garri.. I will put tiny garri in a big cup or plate and feel it up with plenty water. Then drink the water. Oh my! The taste na baba ![]() Another thing I did differently in my case was staying mute. Please my sisters don't announce your pregnancy to the world when you conceive after trying for long, especially after having series of miscarriages. Hide as much as you can. I did that too. Nobody knew i was pregnant until i was far long. Infact i avoided some people and places until i was way into my third trimester. Pregnancy can't not be hidden for long. Time will come when some will see it. But it is better they find it hard to guess how long than having to calculate your due date. Just keep it within just you and dh. Some might see this as too much while others will see it as wisdom. Please all, kindly unquote me if you have quoted me in my recent posts. Since I have my info in some recent posts I may want to modify and remove such information. Please bear with me. God bless you all Please do not quote this. Thanks for your understanding. |
Mommdav: |
ananne:No dear, not all. Women who can get pregnant easily and carry to term may not bother. But if it took you time to conceive or may have had miscarriages is the past then it will be a good thing to talk to your doctor/gynaecologist about it. Food/fruits/spices like bitter leaf, uziza, utazi, thyme, pineapple, mango, pawpaw etc. Pepper soup spice. Ewedu..make your food yourself or ask someone to come make it for you at home, that way you can monitor what goes into the food. You can make your ewedu at home avoiding the kaun or potach. I think I have written a post about this before... |
shadow88:Emerita My dear, I read through your story. God will do it again very soon and you will bring forth in Jesus name and carry your baby in your arms and he/she will grow to the glory of God in Jesus name. |
Tripletwins222:My dear it's best you use both at the same time. It works faster and better that way. If you can't afford wobenzym then use just serrapeptase. It better than nothing. But pls do not use yi mu cao and xi xian cao right after surgery. There is a reason we don't use them after ovulation when actively trying. Use after two months please. Do not use any herbs or tea before this time, especially when it causes contraction. Vitex causes contraction too, so pls don't use two weeks after a serious operation like a myomectomy. Sorry for responding late. Been very busy and lazy to come here. Congratulations to the newly pregnant mamas and their dh. Healthy and happy pregnancy to you all in Jesus name. Please work with your doctor for progesterone injection or tabs. Eat healthy too. There are soups/spices/leaf/fruits that pregnant women should stay away from. Please play save and avoid them for this period. Nine months will soon be over and you can eat whatever you like. |
Bunny19:We are fine. May God's name be praised. |
Fibroid do not stop pregnancy or conception as long as it's not in the area where your baby will implant. Ask your doctor if you can conceive with it then do all you have to do fast. You can carry your baby and give birth safely even with the fibroids. I am not a fan of herbs that shrink fibroids. It doesn't work. It will hep them grow faster. Just eat right, exercise, be happy. Try not to stress. Just enjoy the moment. Make sure you are seeing a good gynecologist and make sure you are praying. Fertility blessings. |
