TTC supplements

[Ss2804]

Hi all,

Just wondering what supplements everyone takes? Any recommendations and success stories?

I am currently just taking an own brand folic acid, but have seen articles suggesting DHA and COQ10 are good for egg quality and help to improve fertility. Does anyone have experience with these? Is it worth a go?

I take folate as folic acid is the synthetic version. Also evening primrose oil up until ovulation, this is for hormone balance. Also using pre-seed fertile lubricant

I posted a thread about CoQ10 as only recently found out about. Not a lot of scientific evidence but it worked for my friend and she was told to take it (600mg a day) by her fertility doctor.
I take the CoQ10, folic acid and vitamin D. I’ve given up coffee and try to stick to a fertility diet (5 portions veg, 2 portions fruit and lots of fish) to improve egg quality (I’m 42) I don’t know if the diet really works but I feel healthier and so far haven’t caught any bugs/ the cold this year despite the whole office coughing & spluttering.
