Had my HCG retested today and it's down to 25 (it was 146 last Monday). So, it's almost gone, thankfully.

Pbn - I'm still getting dark positive Wondfo OPKs... Do you think that's still b/c of the HCG?

So glad you're body is getting back to normal ABC

Start clomid again tonight, CD5.

We got a little eager and started BD last night. Thought getting some fun stuff in now might help make it easier around business time So now E4D will be 4,7,10,13,16,19 etc... Gosh I hope my luteal phase sorts itself out this cycle.

Hope everyone has or had a great day!

Thanks ABC. Did you ask about the metformin?

Thanks ABC. Did you ask about the metformin?

No I haven't talked to my RE since the appt last week. Still haven't heard any of the results from the blood tests she ordered. I found out she tested me for 9 different things (blood clotting disorders, genetic defects, chromosome issues). I will ask her about the metformin, as well as CO-Q10. Have you been told anything about CO-Q10 for egg quality?

Abc I took coq10 for awhile but it's really expensive in the amounts/dose it needs to be taken to be effective and my ob was sceptical of it making any difference... apparently ubiquinol is best but I couldn't source it as its own thing in Australia when I looked into it...

Its good that they are being so thorough. I really hope they manage to get you sorted, you so deserve a happy sticky BFP. Yes HRC also has their patients take coQ10 about 600-800 from memory but Id ask specifics on dosage as Im a little vague, like Pbn said ubiquinol is best. Very expensive but more easily absorbed by the body. Hubby took a much smaller dose during HT too, I think I gave him 250 a day.

[ABC.2606]

Thanks Pbn and emshe. I took 100 mg of coq10 (ubiquinol) per day between my 2nd m/c and 3rd BFP (so for about 5 weeks). When things looked good at the beginning of the last pregnancy I wondered if the coq10 had helped. Probably didn't, and as we know, things turned out bad anyways. I also don't know if it's a good idea for me as atomic thinks it may make the blood a little more "clotty", and since it seems that the issue that the docs most suspect is going on with me is something related to blood clotting, it may not be a good idea. I don't know - just something to ask the doc about. Meant to do it last week at my appt but I forgot.

[Pbn3]

Abc I wouldn't think 100mg would have made much difference as the recommended dose for improving egg quality (supposedly) is a minimum of 450mg I thought. Like emshe said I think 600mg is the standard base recommendation. You need to find a high dose one, that carries at least 150mg per pill. Just means taking 3-4 a day if you cant get one higher than that.....
