    Some women are taking Viagra for lining - while as a general rule I trust the RE to suggest stuff like that if it's appropriate for you (meaning, they probably know about it already and don't think it's appropriate for you for some reason) it may be worth asking about.

    Good luck and all my blue sticky dust headed your way!

    Thank you. I have a lining check again tomorrow so I will bring it up then. What is your opinion on Myo Inositol? I’ve read that people with DOR should try it. And regular folic acid it ok for me right since I have been ruled out for all MTHR things. Should I still take the one a day or should I get a prenatal with DHA and EPA?

    What is your weight?

    I prefer for only people who have proven PCOS to take myoinositol. I have had several people show up taking it for DOR who did not get pregnant till they dropped it and as it is now I think that unless you have PCOS, it's not worth the chance.

    Yes if you've been tested for clotting disorders and don't hve them folic acid is ok.

    I prefer you take One a Day and the DHA separately.

    So I received my BFP at 13 dpo, and again at 14 dpo line didn’t get dark possibly quite as fast but eventually got there? I just am terrified of my hcg not doubling again like last time.
    Should I continue with the one a day, 200 of coq10, and separate dha? Or just get one a day prenatal? I also take an extra folic acid.
    Anything that I should or shouldn’t be doing during this sensitive time? Like no intercourse or no going out into the cold lol? I don’t want to turn into a person who acts like she should be in a bubble but I feel like anything I do can ruin this.

    Progression in lines is not really a thing. While we don't ever want to see a very dark test go to barely there, some variation in darkness is not unusual at all and really tells us very little about how things are going. The biggest variable is the concentration in your urine and that doesn't tell us what is happening in the blood.

    Yes, I'd continue everything but start weaning off the coq10 now.

    Keep doing the extra folic acid till the end of the first trimester then gradually wean off.

    If you do want to switch to some other prenatal do it gradually over time, don't just switch from one to the other.

    Things like having intercourse and going out in the cold really don't matter (if they did, the entire human race would have died out a long time ago.) I wouldn't go bungee jumping LOL but normal day to day activities are no big deal.

    Thank you so much. Going in for second blood draw this morning. Terrified it won’t double like last time. It was 572 on Monday morning at 4 weeks 1 day.

    My hcg was 572 on Monday, then 48 hours later was 965. 68% increase, not doubling. Doctor and nurse say it looks to be normal and didn’t seem scared about it. I think it would have doubled for sure in 72 hours but I had it drawn at 48. I wonder how often this happens to other women? The doubling time seems to be changed to 48-72 hours but idk.
    About switching to a prenatal, how does one slowly make the change? You can’t really cut some prenatals in half, some you can. Should I cut a one a day in half and a prenatal in half etc unless one pill is a half daily dose kind of thing? Or one day take prenatal, then switch back to one a day the next , then back to prenatal for a few days? Also is vitamin e and a safe? It’s in the one a day and most prenatals but then you read that vitamin e is especially not recommended. I cut back from 200 to 100 coq10 for the last several days and planning on skipping today and taking tomorrow for every other day for a week? Is that safe? Or should I take 100 mg a little longer?

    It is normal and the doubling time is 72 hours because that's how long it takes to double! That's great news and I agree with the doc and nurse.

    You switch back and forth, take one one day, one the other, gradually increasing the number of days you take the one you want to switch over to till you're no longer taking the other.

    The "vitamin E" is higher doses of Vit E some women take because they heard it helps implantation or egg quality. Stick with the amount in the prenatal and it's believed to be fine, although they do need to do more research.

    Vit A is safe in smaller doses and very few multivitamins have the harmful levels they once did. Just dont' take it separately

    Yes thats fine how you've cut back on the Coq, I'd probably give it a wee bit longer spacing out the doses further than every other day till down to one per week, then drop

    Thank you atomic. I have another order for Friday to redraw, and I really don’t want to do it. Terrifies me.
    And I will do just that with the switch if I do switch. But as long as everything in the one a day women’s is safe, I might just keep taking it. But confession, I was taking an extra vitamin e along with the one a day since I was trying to improve implantation etc. but I stopped as soon as I read that. I wish I would have known. Have I caused damage already? I was taking an extra 180 mg or 400IU, but only for about a month.
