    MyGirl, Michaela and some of the other HTers are taking 600mg a day...on advice from their REs. So maybe the HTers are taking really high doses? All I know is it's expensive stuff!

    Keep me posted, I'd really like to know what you find out. I'll be swaying for egg health this time, no preference on gender, just want to have a healthy baby!

    Wow ELP! You are amazing!! 9 kids and counting.. Love it!
    That's Alot of supps your taking! I dont take so many but finding it hard to keep up.. I'm taking fish oil, multi vitamin, brewers yeast, wheat grass, folic and coq-10. I thought we were only allowed 60mg of the COQ-10 ? I was told to take that much by AS

    Any recomendations on other blue swaying supps?

    This means I wanted to bd twice on the day roughly 2 days before ovulation. I just had a superstition in my head that I wanted my bfp to come from a swimmer that was waiting in the crypts, so fill the crypts and have a race to the finish line when my body signals hopefully with the conditions favoring the blues
