Ok. Sorry to keep repeating myself but please keep doing this all month long even if you don't think it's necessary.

Has he ever had a sperm analysis done?

Re SMEP, if he can't DTD that often, then just do what he can do.

I can't tell you what is going wrong here. Some of the things you were doing in the past were not conducive to conception and it may be that we've made the right changes but the right sperm just hasn't met the right egg yet. Occasionally, though, when we've gone on a long time not getting pregnant, we've found that there was some male factor infertility or endometriosis/other physical issues preventing conception and so it may be time to consider having things checked out now.

hi atomic another month where af has just come! temps were sky high this morning and had gone up 0.2, basically chart does not look like a af coming chart :(

any further advice at all you could give? this coming december cycle marks us at a year, as in it is officially a year ago this cycle we started ttc. as last year i had af 10th december and then started ttc.

i am taking:
folic 400mg
zinc 15mg
myo-ionistol 1000mg, it also has folic in it, a 100ug dose (i take 1 scoop a day not 2)

thats all we do supplement wise.

I took Guaifenesin last month, but didnt use concieve plus.. to be honest i have used conceive plus lube all cycles up to this but wanted to see what would happen should i have a month off of using it

Any advice would be great. I know its becoming less likely for me now tho.

**edit: we did do a home sperm test on dh, swimcount, which apparently counts the number of motile sperm as opposed to just sperm.. https://www.myswimcount.co.uk/?gclid...SAAEgI7svD_BwE
he got the top result which is normal high, if i can recall right, more then 20million motile sperm

To add further..
Can i take coq10 & myo iniostol together? Is it worth it? What dose of each is recomended?
Can you recomend anything to help with what is potentially a hostile cm issue?

Thanks so much in advanced

Hmm are temps still very high?? Can you post a chart for me to look at?

Yes you can take coq10 and myo together at the same time. Totally fine to do that.

Good news on the sperm count although sometimes there are things that we need an expert to determine. I would keep trying with the SMEP or the e4d plus one more at pos OPK and with the guaifenesin and/or Conceive Plus.

Until we've had you checked I don't think you can assume that this is a hostile CM issue. That's about the least likely and I'd want you to rule out blocked tubes now.

Hi.. temps are lowering now tho which i suppose is a good thing?
How many mg coq10 is best?
What symptoms would show blocked tubes?

I cannot go to drs now till new years to be honest. Have to try and enjoy xmas as much as i can :(
Also i was told from someone today i shouldnt count all my cycles for ttc, technically this is cycle 13 now but . I had 1 anovulatory and 2 where tries were 'bad' one -5 one +1 due to factors outside my contol

should i up myo -iniostol to 2 scoops a day? making it 2000mg a day?
how many mg of coq10 is advisable?
thank you for any advice in advanced, i will go for testing needs be in the new year

Symptoms don't tell you if you've got blocked tubes. Only an ultrasound. It's not necessary to go to the doc if you don't want to, of course, but that's the next step here. It's not super common to have blocked tubes, but also not super rare either and def. something to rule out.

By the time you get to 13+ cycles it really doesn't matter if it was 10/11 technically or 13. It's time to call in backup, LOL. I would tell the doc 13 cycles as they'll be even more inclined to help you.

RE the myo - you're ovulating, so I don't think that's the problem here and I"d not have you add more.

Coq10 - 200-400 mg

Thanks Atomic,

I will do a dr trip Jan if required

Doesnt myo help egg quality? If im correct, it takes 3 months to take effect on a egg quality?

Does coq10 effect ovulation would the 200-400mg dose have more impact on egg quality then the myo does?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Enzyme-Q10-...10+200mg&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...X3L&ref=plSrch

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Enzyme-Q10-...10+300mg&psc=1

Which one of these is best? My concern is some of the ingrediants listed as well as the coq10 itsself?

Am i best to just do myo or do coq10 as well? Is myo better then coq10 for egg quality?

Yes, myo can help egg qualtiy but it doesn't mean that more is better.

People always say "3 months" but the truth is that no one really knows and what the myo does is about more than egg quality. It's about improving your blood sugar and insulin response to alleviate PCO tendencies and keep you ovulating regularly and that happens right away.

We don't know if coq10 is more or less effective than myo. Just don't have that kind of data. Lots of people use them both.

Any of those coq10 are fine.

I think you're getting a bit too hung up on the idea of egg quality. We don't know that this is an issue of egg quality and that's why it is a good idea to get a look inside to see what is going on. Egg quality is only one part of the equation and generally it's more important for people who are 40+. At 29 it is quite unlikely your egg quality is poor. Possible, but not at all likely. When younger women are having trouble conceiving the majority of the time it's due to other reasons like blocked tubes, PCOS, unusually shaped uterus, autoimmune disease, or male factor infertility. I mention this because I don't want you going on and on doing things to "improve egg quality" (very few of which actually work, BTW) and/or adding more and more herbs and spices to supposedly fix egg quality when that is very possibly not even the problem here.
