OLE in Australia - different to other countries?
Hi Atomic, I'm sure we covered this back in March last year but just want to clarify the ole dosage for what we can get in Australia as we have such an apparent higher level than other countries? I'll add photos of what I've been buying dh. He's been taking one tablet pretty much daily since march 2015. He actually likes taking it as he says he has little to no joint pain anymore and hasn't gotten a bad cold in nearly a year (would usually get several) Our tablets here state 3g which is triple the 1g max recommended dose on here but our dosages must be different somehow as they recommend taking up to 5/6 of these during a cold!!! Also do you think there is a chance that dh taking ole for so long could be decreasing his fertility? I was thinking of cutting all his tablets in half just in case lol but thought I'd ask first. I went to close to 12 different chemists last year and this was the lowest dose I could get..... I know this has probably been asked by a hundred other australian women so apologies in advance that you'll very likely be repeating yourself yet again to answer mine.uploadfromtaptalk1454126234245.jpguploadfromtaptalk1454126249037.jpg

Have him take 1 capsule 3x a week.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Thanks maiden. Do you think there's a chance its been lowering his fertility? He'd been taking them for approx 12 weeks before we started ttc June last year and it's just had me wondering if this may have contributed (even minorly) to our struggle to conceive? Oh and the reason I was going to halve them is because I thought it would be easier for him to take half dose daily rather than trying to remember when he took one last lol but as you said they are capsules not tablets and it clearly states that on the bottle - champion duh moment for me!

It's not just OLE, it's SP and a couple other things too. The Aus. dose seems astronomically higher to such an extent I wonder if they use some different measurement or something but have never been able to get a straight answer from anyone.
I would reduce them to 3x a week. We have the least amount of experience with OLE and when in doubt, if you're not conceiving, let's start trying to mix it up a bit.

I think there's always a chance and let's cut back to see.
remember there's no magic to 3x a week, let's say he forgets and takes 2 one wek and 4 another week, it all shakes out in the end. Our bodies aren't so exacting like that.

Dh happy to cut down to 3 x week for ole but has asked if he can then take glucosamine and fish oil daily as well. Will attach pic of ingredients, will this be ok? Not sure if this affects fertility whatsoever so thought I'd check. Thank you uploadfromtaptalk1454200976519.jpguploadfromtaptalk1454200988292.jpg

That's the exact same Ole I bought for my hubby too, but he keeps forgetting to take them. He was taking one a day in the beginning.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
