You should also use ubiquinol vs coq10. It has better absorption

It Starts with the Egg talks about this…it should be mandatory reading for anyone TTC and considering IVF!

I just know an IVF clinic is a money grab when they’re not putting a single person on a tailored protocol to improve egg quality or sperm quality during the process. It grinds my absolute gears bc your chances of conceiving with low AMH is literally the same naturally as it is with IVF. UGHHHH.

I do Bird&Be prenatal with COQ10 boost (600mg). It’s the best!

I’m not a huge fan of ChatGPT but this was the only reason I knew to supplement CoQ10 with Perelel right away. Why is ChatGPT telling me this and not the doctors… 🤔

The book ‘It Starts With An Egg’ is really helpful for explaining the recommended dosages. After spending loads of money on the wrong ones, I switched to finding vitamins that match 😊

Another annoying fact - supposedly our body only absorbs about ~200 ish mg at a time so you’re supposed to split it up. If I remember I take 300 early on and 300 at night but I don’t always remember. We do what we can!!

I take 600 and I will say that this is what annoys me about fertility doctors. Like can y’all give us a little guidance with supplements. So annoying

It’s my understanding that Perelel and other brands wouldn’t have a high dosage of CoQ10 in their prenatal or preconception sets because they’re intended for widespread use and into pregnancy. Higher, targeted dosages of CoQ10 are only recommended for IVF prep, and not typical for widespread use and also not good for pregnancy. Your clinic or acupuncturist would be where you’d find this out, so it’s tough!

I’m so sorry ❤️my clinic gave me a whole protocol on coq10 (liquid) you absolutely should feel upset. Also acupuncture made a huge difference for me. Sending love

Your mom says hi :
Make sure you look at the difference for CoQ10 between ubiquinol and ubiquinone.

Choosing a prenatal has been the most stress inducing thing, I swear. NONE of them have everything you need. And perelel is close but so many pills. If you stick with Thorne, make sure you check DHA and choline.

I’ve been taking 600mg for months and my first retrieval was very successful (5 out of 5 euploids) We’ll see what happens tomorrow with retrieval 2.

I did bird & be for my egg retrieval! Ended with 4 PGT-A embryos! Now that I’m pregnant with our first transfer babe, I’m doing their pregnancy prenatal! My REI recommended bird & be (no partnership).

This is why I’m a fan of needed. They understand the dose of coq10 is so large it needs to be a separate supplement

Jenny | IVF :
This is such a great post to share to help others, I am a women’s health nutritionist going through my own IVF journey and I have found clinics (I based in the UK) have quite limited knowledge when it comes to supplements. Unfortunately most prenatals will usually not have the full therapeutic dose for most of the individual ingredients bar the essential ones for regulation such as folate/folic acid. Similar to how if you take a multivitamin you would likely need to take an additional individual supplement of a specific vitamin if you are very deficient in it. I would try not to worry too much about not taking a higher coq10 earlier, as while supplements are a great add on and supportive for your egg collection, there is a degree of luck involved when it comes to egg collections. We can only control so much, but I get it, you want to try and do all these additional things. If it helps, I personally take a separate omega 3 (1700mg), vitamin D (1000IU), vitamin C (1000mg), magnesium (375mg), coq10 (400mg - would take 600mg if I had poor response in past egg collections).

Yeah I take perelel plus the Costco ubiquinol (500mg) and my husband takes that one too. The 50mg in perelel is just a little boost it’s not a big dose!
