Hi ladies, please read this if you have time http://natural-fertility-info.com/antioxidant-ubiquinol.html
It talks about how Ubiquinol COQ10 can help "reverse" the age of our eggs, improve the quality and such.
You need to take at least 3 months before you TTC or embark on any fertility treatments.
I can't find the Ubiquinol version in Singapore but can order it through iherb.
No harm giving this a try as it's a very safe supplement.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
It's usually best to start 2-3 mths prior ivfI have started my ivf, is it too late to consume the supplement?
Hi fel, do u mean AMH? What is your fsh if you don't mind sharing? I just did 2 fresh cycles 3 mths apart and only managed to get 2 average quality blasto in storage. I have high fsh of 12. Now I'm preparing for Fet. Quite nerve wrecking, not sure if it will work out.hi ladies i belong to this caterogry. have only 1.8 egg reserve. tcm said this is crucial for ivf
Hi I think is FSH with 1.8. Pre check before ivf. Now waiting for IVF for april/mayHi fel, do u mean AMH? What is your fsh if you don't mind sharing?

Hi WYbb,Hi ladies, just to share with you girls about my case.
Me too with Low Ovarian Reserve. I forget how low it is already. I failed 5 IVF cycles and 2-3 FET and maybe 3 IUI, all within 3 years. All failed and one of my doctors advise me to go for adoption. Sigh. I almost gave up after hearing that as i have tried all my best i could to make my IVF a success.
One year later, I decided to try again with another Dr. For each stimulation, usually I don't have many eggs, around 4-6 eggs only. This round, my new Dr wants to cultivate the embryos into blastocysts as the chances of implanting is higher. Well, only 1 out of 4 of my fertilized eggs reach blastocyst, however is a 5AA grade which i never thought of. i guess in our case, we would like to have good egg quality rather than good quantity. Thus, i would like to share the remedy with you girls. 2 months prior to my fresh ivf cycle, my Dr prescribe me with Androgel and DHEA. These 2 drugs increase your testosterone hormone which improve the respond of the follicle when you inject FSH for stimulation. Another note, is not to over-stimulate the follicles. Go for very mild stimulation, the egg quality will be better.
As i only have one blastocyst from my last cycle, my Dr advise me to do another round of IVF to accumulate 1-2 more blastocyst before my FET. My 2nd round IVF, I were quite busy and did not follow the instructions tight. I got 2 blastocysts of average grade, 4AB and 5CA. Dr said average grade blastocyst has an equal chance with the 5AA grade. Don't give up.
Overall, i have wasted a lot of money to trial and error for my IVF looking for the best remedy for myself. My current Dr is the 3rd Dr I see for IVF, and I feel this Dr had the best experience and knowledge. Maybe you girls can try my remedy.
I am now preparing for my FET. Am at Day 7 now. Dr said will transfer 2 best looking ones. Hopefully it will be successful.

@Yogi.L You are right. I am with Professor Ng at Gleneagles. BB Grade is consider above average. You too have good chance. i am planning to have a week bed rest after my ET although all my DoctorS said it is not necessary. Lets pray hard everything goes well. Good luck to your FET in April too.
@Serendipitygal yeah, i recorded everything down. I took Menopur 225iu from Day 2 and Saizen 12iu from day 5. i think the androgel and DHEA play an important role too to achieve good egg quality. My personal opinion I guess it will be good if you can start androgel and DHEA for 1-2 months before starting your 2nd stim. But better to seek advice from your Dr as i may not know your situation well. I did not prepare myself for the FET. I asked Dr what should i do to get prepared, and he said just eat well rest well. LOL. Since I start my stims, I just try my best to have protein rich food. eg. red bean/green bean soup/red dates & longan/meats. i am not sure how effect these are. Oh ya, and continue multivitamin supplements (with folic acid) prescribed by Dr. Hope my info helps you
@Serendipitygal , good luck for your next fresh cycle!Dear WYbb
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
I have been taking Dhea for about 3 months now. Not androgel though and it is probably too late now. I do take multi vits and CoQ10.
Have been cooking and boiling soup and going for TCM these 2 months. Really hope it makes a difference
Will likely start my stim sometime next week if all goes well. I hope I have a good story to tell in future thanks again!
Good luck baby angelic. Lots of baby dust to you.Me also low egg reserve. Only 0.93. Add me in. Just done 2 embryos today on Day2. Need to go for blood test on 13/3 and final blood test on 23/3. 2ww now.

Hi, ur number pls?Hi. Im new here.. turning 31.. also having low ovarian reserve issue.. tried SO-IUI but failed.. would like to join the grp chat
Hi, would you like to join our chat grp?Hi all, I am also with low ovarian reserve. Suppose to start my 2nd fresh IVF cycle in Jan, but has postponed from one month to another month coz the baseline scan done on Cd2 showed only 1-2 follicles each month. Dr advised not to proceed as there is a high chance of canceled cycle if the follicles do not grow or empty follicles. I do understand his concern but at the same time I am quite sick of waiting month after month. Any sis here proceed with the cycle even with 1-2 follicles?
Hi. In faith. You can sms me ur no. 93661618Sorry group chat I mean
