DHEA & CoQ10 Increased My Follicle Count (ubiquinol coq1)

- My antral follicle count (AFC) increased! DHEA woke up my sleepy right ovary and CoQ10 improved my response to the fertility medication Femara (Letrozole). In this video I talk about my personal experience and results with these two supplements. I'm 46 and after suffering a miscarriage in 2017, began undergoing fertility treatments and started the journey to my rainbow baby.

Your videos are very informative. Thank you for sharing with us. I have a question. Could you please tell me can you take ubiquinol if you’re pregnant?
Thanks! In general, Ubiquinol is not contraindicated for pregnancy, as it is naturally occuring in the body. However, ,I recommend you partner directly with your healthcare professional, as they have specific information related to your medical profile, that may impact the decision.
Thank you so much for your reply. You’re so kind. Yes I will ask my doctor about it. Tc X
You are welcome. Good luck with everything!
I don’t even know why I ask that question. I really wanna get pregnant this cycle. I had a miscarriage in October at 12 weeks. It’s so heartbreaking. TTC can be very stressful. Really appreciate women like you who makes these kind of videos. It gives us hope. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re amazing.

For me helped DHA together with Q10, folic acid and vitamin D. Very fast I got pregnant, within a month❤❤❤
Such a thrilling video to watch. It is reall inspiring too. The video says it all that how can life change from nothing to everything. It is reall nice that how treatment improved the things. Timely professional advice is a must. It is informative too.
Thanks, Caroline. I appreciate the feeback.
Very informative Tanika! I didn't think about making a journal for my IWC journey to observe symptoms etc.
All the best!
MrsLivinginHope thank you for watching! I am glad you found it useful. I hope you are well!
This worked! I did ivf at41 and am pregnant with twin boys!!!! Also get thyroid checked and vitamin d levels. Low vitamin d is bad for fertility
Congratulations!! This warms my heart. Thanks for sharing!
Where did you do IVF treatment name, please?
Thanks. What a great attitude.
Thanks, Gatss. Feel free to ask any questions.
Very informative videos i want this now, right now i m taking dhea for follicles count.
Good luck!
Thank u so much for sharing information. You video give me hope to survive.
How is your TTC journey going?
I just ordered those and was feeling skeptical.. THANK YOU!! ❤
Sending baby dust! XOXO
I've had "Just the Two of Us" stuck in my head all afternoon and just realized it was because I watched this earlier this morning. Hahaha - On another note, great video! I've been taking the vegan liquid form of CoQ-10 (found at Costco) for it's supposedly superior absorption. I turn 41 this year and had a failed IUI a few months ago, so fingers crossed! This is our first round.
Just seeing this. How is your journey going??
Hi Tanika,
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hi Tanika. Great information on the parent hormone! I am almost 60 and I started taking a low dose of DHEA about a year ago for my menopause. I too have had a very positive experience with micronized DHEA despite my doctor's warning that it is useless and "harmful". My level was low too! Only 50! So...I started low and went slow. I take only 2.5mg along with my estradiol patch. No acne, my chin hairs have almost gone and I keep constant energy throughout the day. This is the secret I believe to good female health!
Yes! I am glad you saw such great results. I feel like it is turning back time. I know it's not really possible, but my elasticity has changed and my body is "fuller" in a more youthful way...it's like I'm in my 30's again. I also have great energy. The acne is here, but again, that is what my body did in my 20's and 30's, too. I am responding well to acne meds, so I'm okay with that. I have been getting my levels checked and my aim is to keep them in the 30-35 year old range ...for now. How long have you been taking it?
Simply Tanika : what is the 30 - 35 yr old range supposed to be?
I'm 55 and I want a baby. You woman have really encouraged me thanks!
Mary Neal...i saw your comment and gave a thumbs up. How are you now? Any update?
Hello Tanika! amazing videos. Thank you so much for sharing! How much were your DHEA-S and testoterone levels at the beginning? and what was the goal level to reach?
Thanks for watching! Goal for DHEA Sulfate was to increase it so that it was on par with a younger woman, aged 30 or younger. The lab indicated that the range should be between 59 - 432 ug/dl. My last test it was 399. Prior to supplementation it was in range for my age (46 at that point) at 80, as the lab indicates range is 26-287. There was no goal for the testosterone, except to keep it within normal range. It hasn't changed.
399 was good? you took it for 3 months? Mine is 59, i just started taking 25mg 3 times a day, hopefully will increase in the next months. Thanks!
Any luck???
"Every month, you're eggs wake up and their like, 'Hey, what's going on?"🤗😂💕Love it and love this video!!

Definitely double thumbs up for your video!!
M 34 with only left fellopian tube present. Endometriosis operation done for chocolate cyst on November 2017. Detected AMH 0.43 on April 2019. M on ovulation study and fertility meds.
Now seeing ur supplements’ video I spoke with my Gynaecologist about DHEA and coq10. She instantly prescribed and supported my research info which was basically yours.
Fingers crossed just 6 days on supplements. Gynaec suggested for next 90 days.
Really hoping to have good news soon. Wish me luck.
Congratulations to you and best luck.
Regards
Shilpi
+shilpiblackstone nice! There is tons of research on DHEA and CoQ10 Ubiquinol for fertility. Definitely improved my follicle count. 90 days is perfect. Hopefully they can test your levels throughout that period. I’m excited for you! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Please keep me posted on your progress. I’m looking forward to good news!!
Can you please update us if the supplement worked for you? I’m hesitant to continue the DHEA
Thank you for this information. Where did you go in NYC for the fertility testing?
Hmmm. I haven’t watched this video in a while, so I’m not sure which specific test you are talking about. Are you in NYC? Your OB, GYN, GP, RE or endocrinologist can do the tests.
I just found your channel and I’m so glad! I’m taking both supplements. I live in Canada and micronozed dhea is difficult to find. So I’m taking 100 of the normal dhea. I am taking 400 of the ubiquinol. But so neat to know from day 3-7 you double to 600. I may do the same. This routine has made me go from 11 follicles to 15 which is exciting. Best of luck to you!
Hi! I love your channel name. I have seen a good response on my medicated cycles when I double it on the same days as my meds. Also DHEA has helped in crease my follicle count. I think the Ubiquinol helps the size of the follicles. The one cycle I didn't double it, they were slow to grow. Not scientific of course, just my experience.
Simply Tanika sadly my follicles went down to 8. From 15 to 8 in about six months. Hoping to do ivf soon and so I’ll try the 600 ubiquinol
I think it varies depending on our stress level and other variables. Best of luck with your IVF. I’ll be starting mine soon.
ubiquinol is great. 300-600 mg get's very expensive. I'm a 44 male who takes DHEA and ubiquinol on TRT for several years. My sex drive wasn't as strong until I added DHEA and Pregnolone together....I feel even better. I can def tell my mood has improved too.
That is awesome! It does get expensive. I think after a bit it is okay to taper down to a lower dose, having restored values. How much DHEA are you taking and do you get your levels tested on a regular basis?
Simply Tanika I need to get my DHEA levels tested. I just take between 25-50 a day with a 100 of preg. I picked it up from some guys I know on a bodybuilding site who no longer care about destroying their bodies and more concerned about longevity than being huge, which I’m not.
This is exactly what my Kaiser Dr. In infertility recommended... I'm starting today hope it works
I have definitely seen positive results as far as QUANTITY. I'm having my first egg retrieval next month, so we'll see how it goes as far as quality. Please keep me posted on how your journey is going. Let me know what I can do to support you.
@@SimplyTanika I been drinking them every day for a month already.... I'm still not pregnant but I get less period cramps and less bleeding during my period.. My infertility Dr.@Kaiser Permanent she recommended to drink up... Hopping for a Baby!!!
Any medicine for high fsh and low amh
@@SimplyTanika it's been a year now... And I'm still drinking CQ10 & DHEA every day....I have gained some weight but still no Baby.. The positive thing is that I don't get horrible cramps when I'm on my period..... I'm still here girl Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020!!!! Many Blessings and Baby Magic for all of us on your channel.
@@aliciacabrera1493 sorry for asking
But have u had a baby
Hi Tanika, so glad that I came across your channel and it was so informative.
I just had my 1st IVF cycle terminated this morning as my folicles was not responding at all to Suprefact and Gonal-F shots. Anyways, I'll be proceeding my 2nd IVF cycle after 3 months from now and I've to start on DHEA tomorrow. Anyhow, I was not asked to take CoQ10 but I would like to combine it with DHEA. Do you think it is alright?
Hi JC!
I am so sorry your cycle was terminated. Good for you for doing your research in preparing for your next round. There are so many variables and you have to decide based on the context of your situation.
Check out these videos from CHR www.centerforhumanreprod.com/fertility/increasing-fertility-coq10-and-female-egg-quality-video/ and www.centerforhumanreprod.com/services/infertility-treatments/getting-pregnant-with-own-eggs/ to help you make an informed decision.
I take 300mg daily of the CoQ10 Ubiquinol. It naturally occurs in the body, but declines with age. It is safe to combine with DHEA and is more widely tolerated. DHEA is not recommended for women with PCOS, for example. However, CoQ10 has no such issues. There are two forms of CoQ10, ubiquinone and ubiquinol. I would recommend supplementing with the later as it is more readily absorbed.
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you hang around here. I'm getting ready to start my first IVF round. Would love to have your support on the journey. Sending you loads of baby dust!
XOXO,
Tanika
Thank You!
You're welcome!
I had only 4 eggs collected with mini ivf. That wasn't a lot.
I think i will atart dhea, i will start ivf soon to.
Best of luck!
Should you take both? How long should you take the CQ10 to improve the egg quality?
Definitely get a DHEA blood test to see where your levels are...
Hi
Can coq10 & dhea can be continued while implantation & also post to that
Hi myStyle myDesign! I've read conflicting information on this. I continue it during my luteal phase, which is when implantation would occur. However, the DHEA is controversial. The CoQ10 shouldn't be an issue. I plan to continue it throughout my pregnancy. Talk to your doctor or your NaturoPath and see what they think about your specific situation. Best of luck to you!
Thanks for the information. I want to increase my egg
You can IMPROVE your egg count and you can increase your follicle count per cycle. You aren't increasing the overall count of your eggs, per se. That was predetermined at birth.
Hello,I enjoy watching you.I have a question I want to produce my eggs so I can have twins etc.What would be the right vitamins for that?Im not sure what this fall under to increase it to have more than one child?
Hi! I’m also on elevit. Do you know if i can take these three tgt?
I am not familiar with that medication.
Could you give us information on your doctors so we could go to them
Are you in NYC?
Thank you for your good information 🙏🤗
Can you please tel me wish DHEA to take?
Thank you
I recommend the one by PURE. If you get the 25mg, you can break it up over the day (morning, afternoon, evening) to get your 75mg.
Thanks
☺
Could you please share your clinic information I also live in nyc and I can’t find a fertility doctor to reason with me I’m over 40 and they think I’m too old. Thank you
I''ve been to the following clinics in NYC:
RMA - IUI
Columbia Women's Reproductive Center - IUI and iVF
Sher Fertility Institute - IVF
There is also New Hope Fertility, which also serves advanced maternal age
Hi Tanika...Why women with PCOS cannot use it??Can DHEA help women with menopause to have again follicles??
Women with PCOS have high testosterone and high androgens. DHEA increases androgens. Since women with PCOS already have high androgens, they don't need it.
I hope u can share the progress on your journal. Because i wonder how many month u take to increase each dose. Like how much month u take 25mg to 50 mg and finally 75?.
You get your blood levels check and increase based on that and how well your body tolerates the prior dose.
Why we have short fertility period?i mean we study,we make career and when we get married ,most are lucky to have kids within a year but some do struggle for a baby for the rest of the life or till menopause....i pray for all of us who r struggling.
+Nuz Atif I pray for us all, too. May we all get our hearts desires fulfilled. 🙏🏽💋
@@SimplyTanika thanx Tanika😙
Did you have symptoms of itching and rashes with coq10?
No, Ness. Are you having those symptoms? Please discontinue use of them and seek medical treatment. Yikes!
Hi tanika my amh level is 0.799 do you recommend me to take dhea with ubiqinol that help me in my ovary system
Assuming you don’t have PCOS and have tested your DHEA levels, the DHEA supplement can help improve follicle count.
Ubiquinol is good for everyone. So definitely take that one.
Unfortunately there is no medical evidence to support that we can increase our AMH.
Best of luck!
It's seft to sex if I am use it
Please I have Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and insulin resistant can I take coq10?
Definitely consult with your health care provider.
My prenatal has Ubiquinone in it already and I purchase Ubiquinol. Any feedback on taking the two together? I’ve found not clear cut answer in my research.
What is your total dosage. I think if you are at 300 mg or under, you should be ok. It really depends on how you feel, how much you weigh and how tall you are. If you have trouble sleeping, maybe dial it back? If you are feeling fine, continue as you are. Interesting it is in the prenatal, I was told to discontinue use after a positive pregnancy test. How long have you been taking both?
@@SimplyTanika Hello my dear. Dose of Ubiquinone is prenatal is 300mg. Been taking both for 3-4 months. Prob need to scale back because my Ubuiquinol is 200mg. The prenatal is FH Pro for Women & comes in form for men as well. Thanks again for responding and wishing you the absolute best. Admire your determination and energy 😇
Tanika, do you need to keep taking DHEA when doctor starts giving you progesterone to get eggs?
Every RE is different. Most will have you continue until you get your BFP. Make sure you have your DHEA and testosterone checked BEFORE you take the DHEA supplements.
@@SimplyTanika thank you Tanika I LOVE you 😊
You're welcome, Love! XOXO
I use DHEA, DHA, and CoQ-10 everyday as part of a vitamin regimen and my ovaries are bulging with follicles that won't mature and drop as eggs
What are you doing to balance your estrogen/progesterone ratio? How long is your luteal phase? It might be an imbalance with the hormones and that is what is preventing the maturation of the eggs. Follies are growing, that 's a good sign. Now we gotta get them to DROP.
Simply Tanika thank you so much for this video but how can I balance my estrogen progesterone and testosterone level?
Use clomid
Go outside in the morning and during the UVA window, block blue light at night using blue blocking glasses and Cook your food in proper saturated fats such as lard, beef fat and butter. All of these things will turn on your hormone pathways and start regulating your hormones. Basically get back to nature
Hi Tanika! I am new to your channel and I don't know how to thank you enough. Please keep it up. I was told I had low ovarian reserve that preventing me to have a child,I am 37. My 1st ever IUI ( it was medicated using femera) was failed. I tried the 2nd immediately on my cycle after failed IUI, but my follicles doesn't grow so my RE decided to cancel it after trying higher dose of femera..... So now after I saw your video I asked if it is okay to take dhea & ubiquinol before we go for the next cycle? RE was okay for me to start taking both and I want to try improve number of follicles and quality
Excellent! It took me about 4 months to really respond to the DHEA. I saw improvement in 3 months, but the 4th was the tipping point. My last IUI I was on 5mg of Femara and got four follicles. My very first IUI was 7mg of Femara with one follicle. So I am stimulated more readily with less medication after taking both the DHEA and Ubiquinol. If the doctor cleared you to take it, start with 75mg of the DHEA and 100mg of the Ubiquinol. I am now using 300 mg, but I progressed gradually. DHEA is NOT recommended if you have PCOS and also it's nice if they will do a blood test to check your DHEA levels on a regular basis. The DHEA did cause my acne to flare up (I suffered with it when I was younger, so it wasn't totally new) but my dermatologist was able to prescribe some endocrine friendly topical creams and my skin is much better. Just know, oily skin is a known side effect of the DHEA. Please keep me posted on your progress. I'm so glad you've found me and I hope I can help. Oh...I should mention, I'm 47. I was pregnant last year (before taking supplements) and had a miscarriage. I also have one adult child, who is 24. Hope that helps!
Hey Tanika! I just started dhea & ubuquinol after i watched your channel my second IUI was already cancelled due none growth follie... but i am glad i found you,if not it was different story. I was told to get donor egg the same day i found you then I asked RE if it is okay to take a break and supplements you mentioned with dose appropriate for me. I was told it is okay 75 mg dhea (which i am taking only 25 don't care about acne or hair but other serious issues about it. I will increased as today is my 5th day) ubiquinol 600mg . During my first IUI, I only have one single follicle but nothing I was given 2.5 mg femera X 5 days then after mid cycle scan, I was given 5 mg x 5 days because it wasn't grown enough then when i get to 18.9 mm i got triggered and IUI on mother's day I was so excited but unfortunately, it failed my heart bleed and i cried a lot I thought no more egg/follie for me ever...then I was convinced to start over because it is new follie every month.... on second IUI cycle we found four on one side and two on other side, I was so happy then I was given 7.5 mg femera again for 5 days then mid cycle scan was bad all four follie die off and among the two other only one survived but it wasn't good enough even to get measured then i was given 10 mg of femera for another 5 days. I went back for monitoring no progress it was only 10 mm so RE decided to cancel it.
I am single TTC I tried with my own with out RE for about 1 1/2 years (no kid at all) then I turned myself in to the best RE in my area to get help (I am using donor). Please see my initial base line for 1st IUI.
E2(53),FSH(12.45),LH(4.43) It was all a little above or below the normal range but follicle count was very low/grow very slow, finally wont grow at all. Please advise me and thank you!
One more question: how often do you check DHEA ? it is my 5th day today
Wow, that is a LOT of days on oral meds. Silly question...are you drinking lots of water? That helps the follies, I just had that issue the current cycle. I take the DHEA daily. Some people spread it out over the day (25 mg in the morning, then afternoon and evening). I take mine all at once. Decide what works for you and what you can do consistently.
The good news is your follie got to 18.9. It an happen again! What do you to "be good" to yourself? Massage, yoga, meditation? That part is very important, too!
I do drink lots of water even before fertility drugs/supplements. I just walk 2 miles every other day that is all. I am 130lb. I will see acupuncturist tomorrow for first time for same issue.
How often you test for hormones in regards to DHEA? to be safe?
I m a pcos patient ...can i take coenzyme q10 for conceiving with fokic acid. For egg quality. M 33 yr now
You definitely need folic acid. Please check with your doctor about taking COQ10 with PCOS. I’m not sure.
i am from Mauritius and want to know where i can have DHEA
I purchase mine from Amazon, you want to get the micronized version. Are you able to use the link in the description?
My fsh is 8.7 and I am nearly 41.
I am going under ivf soon.
What dose do you recommend for dhea?
I recommend working closely with your medical professional.
Hi, Tanika I m from India, my Amh level is 0.66 can I take this medicine
Hi Jyoti, there is no scientific evidence to support that medicine can impact AMH. FSH can change per cycle and these medicines may help reduce that. Best of luck!!
What did you end up doing my Amh is low too?
Hi Tanika- Is it ok to take DHEA in case there is Endometriosis Cyst
You should have your current levels checked first. It’s a simple blood test. If your levels are low, you should be ok.
Women with PCOS should NOT take DHEA. Definitely work with your GP or PCP or an endocrinologist. Best of luck!
Hi Tanika. Thank u so much for reply. I got the DHEA-S test done n it is 106. Would u recommend DHEA supplement?
Hi my AMH 0.219 which supplement is good for me plz suggest..
Unfortunately AMH is not proven to increase with supplements. Focus on your overall health and egg quality.
@@SimplyTanika with this low amh I can concieve??
Happy Sunday Tanika!! Ok I have question, I hear u speak about Royal Jelly.. I’ve had only ONE Fsh test and the Hospital lab where I worked was known for screwing things up 🙃. My 3rd day FSH was 26. I’ve never had it retested. Do u think it was the Royal Jelly that decreased your FSH?? Cuz if so I’m ordering some off amazon TODAY!!😁😁😁😁 . And second.. sometimes I have my menses every other month. What Med do they use to trigger my menses. As I said I’m going for Letrazole next week but my period is about 10 days late. Let me know and a big thanks to u!
Good morning, Renada!! So I think the FSH CONTRIBUTED to my lower FSH, but wasn't solely responsible. I definitely notice that is spikes whenever I allow myself to get stressed. FSH can and typically does change every month, so it is important to get it re-tested.
I have heard of the RE using Provera to bring about bleeding. I believe the give progesterone and then stop it, which causes the lining to shed. They typically will do that after confirming you didn't ovulate and it is appropriate to bring about a break through bleed. It isn't a true period, without ovulation (much like when women use birth control), however it will allow a new cycle to begin and the doctors can manipulate your cycle, as needed.
Are you sure you are late? Do you have a good idea of when you ovulated and how long your luteal phase is? Sometimes I ovulate late and that makes my cycle longer. Does that make sense?
Simply Tanika thanks! Yeah that does make sense. I took a pregnancy test today and it was negative so I’ll go ahead and restart the Progesterone tonight . I take 200mg but I hadn’t used it in over a month but now I’m going to give this my all. So I’ll start the Progesterone this week. Later this week I have an appointment with the fertility specialist to hopefully get the Letrazole. Meanwhile I’ll order the Royal Jelly. Then hopefully we will do the IUI next mo or early November.. Does that Spain’s good?
She asked about Royal Jelly too. You did not say anything about it in your answer.
Hi madam my friend amh is 0.76 go for plan ivf one overy behind fybroid so what wl do plz reply
What are the doctors recommending? Does your friend still have a cycle? Are there follicles produced each cycle? Can the ovary be reached during IVF? Lots to unpack, please work directly with a professional in your area who can guide you through all those touchpoints.
@@SimplyTanika cloude nine dr.suggest go for ivf and month period also correct each overy 2 follicles is there now . But one side overy try becoze fybroid so what u suggest mam
How to use these medicine I mean from which day to which day
Test your DHEA first to see if you need the supplement. It's a simple blood test. You would take both daily.
My age is 34 and my amh is less than 0.08 and I didn't have periods since 6 months, can this supplement improve my AMH level? Do you know any such case in which amh is improved by these medicines? Please help me. 🙏
Hello! Currently there is no clinical evidence that any treatment can improve AMH. You want to focus on the QUALITY of the eggs remaining in your reserve. Eat well, exercise and supplement, as needed, based on your bloodwork. Hope this helps!
Do you get pregnant of ur own eggs after using dhea with combination of ubiquinol?
Hi my AMH is 0.44 and my testosterone level is normal. therefore shall I take DHEA supplement??
+jana Khoban Do you know what your current DHEA levels are? That number will tell you if you need to supplement.
@@SimplyTanika 2.85
Any medicine for high fsh and low amh
Unfortunately AMH cannot be increased based on all reliable research. It is a measurement of hormone meant to indicate your ovarian reserve. Our reserve decreases over time, as eggs are released from the ovaries.
Can you take to much Biotain I have it in my organic multivitamin sis but I also have it in my colligan & biotin pill 2,500 on that and I think 350 on my multivitamin

Happy Birthday, SIS!!! Hmmmm, good question. I steered clear of the biotin because I was doing medicated cycles and the biotin can impact test results. Are you taking 2850 microgram (mcg) or milligram (mg)? Here is what I found: 30-100 mcg for adolescents and adults. There are 1000 micrograms in every milligram (mg), so 5000 mg is a significantly high dose: check with your physician before taking biotin 5000 to treat any medical condition. Let me know?
@@SimplyTanika its 2500 mcg and 350 MG but I definitely will call my doctor on Monday and will let you know what they said that day cause I agree I think it's kinda high and I dont want it to mess up my body in any way especially fertility what does it do in regards of tests and what not ? Ty sis for tons of birthday wishes hugs!!!
Here is what I have....FDA warning about biotin and fertility tests: labtestsonline.org/news/fda-warns-biotin-may-affect-some-lab-test-results
@@SimplyTanika wow I will be changing my mcg from 2800 to 300 only
Hi Tanika
I’ve saw this video before but came across it again however I noticed you said your follicle size was a 19mm and one was a 14 and I think you said another was a 20, I was watching a video from the CHR, the clinic that you mentioned about the women secretly doing DHEA and noticed that the Dr was saying in the older women doing in a IVF cycle at there clinic they would retrieve there eggs much sooner around 16-18 or a 15 and noticed they were having a much higher success rate in pregnancies. I’m just curious to know what’s your opinion on that? I have my retrieval tomorrow and think mines are being retrieved early due to me going from one follicle to 3 with in a week and already at 15mm but anyhow I posted the video below of the Dr expressing this and curious to know what’s your thought on this thanks
czcams.com/video/i0ZBCvHrGbk/video.html
Follicle size can vary from cycle to cycle. Retrieval timing is typically based on individual follicle size, total follicle count and estrogen. I don't have a specific opinion about retrieving eggs solely based on cycle day. Hope your retrieval went well!
@@SimplyTanika Ok thanks, i was noticing topics in other channels about retrieving the eggs sooner before it gotten to a larger no# and was curious about it. Yes the transfer went well but the Dr mention that the embryo was graded on a lower grade, although its growing we still was able to do the transfer on the 5th day blastocyst and now I'm in my two week window wait so I'm waiting patiently....
Hi! Can you take DHEA with femara ?
You can. You should have your DHEA levels checked before you start supplementing.
What dose and brand do you use? Thanks:)
Hi Ivana's Passport! Here is the DHEA that I use. I take 75mg daily. It is great, it is micronized and each pill is 25mg: amzn.to/2G9fAE5
Here is the Ubiquinol, I use the 300 mg. amzn.to/2HhKYQf
Let me know if you have any more questions!
How much did you increase your AMH? Thanks:)
AMH was only increased by points. I increased my AFC signigicantly, as I didn't have any visible follicles on the right side when this started, now I usually have ~5 each monitored cycle.
Thank you:)
Good luck:)
Dear Tanika
I asked my RE about coq10 supplements she sd yes I can take...i forgot to ask at what time should i take it?and is it safe to take during periods?and I don't know ubiquinol?what I bought ..is Q-KEN... 1 tablet contains:
Omega- 3. 440 mg
Omega- 6. 100mg
Omega-9. 67mg
COQ-10 enzymes. 100mg
I bought it from my RE pharmacy ..its name is Q-KEN.Is it ubiquinol?I read somewhere that put this tablet in tongue let it dissolve n then swallow it with water.😐is it right?plz reply.i m already taking dhea,myofolic,maxfol400,ascard 75.n now a days from last month due to stress I got high bp.so taking norvasc 5mg at night.
Glad you spoke with the doctor! Can you email the pics of the meds? Tanika@simplytanika.com I don't know that brand. A picture of the front of the bottle, back of the bottle and one of the pills.
How many month you used dhea to get pregnant
Hi Parween, the sources that I used indicated that it takes 60-90 days for it to impact your egg. It's not for everyone thought, for example, if you have PCOS. It's also recommended that you have your current DHEA levels tested before you supplement. In addition, supplemetation should be targeted if you are over 40 or have premature ovarian failure (POF). I used this source (and her book) as guidance: www.paleo-mama.com/improve-egg-quality-supplements/dhea-egg-quality/
I hope that helps!
Is it ok to take DHEA if I have PCOS?THANKS
+Ren Pasaoa No ma’am.
@@SimplyTanika thank you for replying.. 😍
+Ren Pasaoa anytime! 💋
I also did my research on ubiquinol and ubiquinone. Some studies say that both chemicals exist in our body and they change into each other constantly. Therefore ubiquinol is not necessarily better. On top of that if the ubiquinol supplement is oxidised due to low production quality or storage than it is just an expenseive ubiquinone supplement. So i opt for 200 mg ubiquinone per day.
+Bakımsal Şeyler yep, both substances exist in our bodies. The body converts ubiquinone to ubiquinol. Absolutely agree that you should do what makes sense for you! Lots of baby dust! 💋
Im on that same situation, my amc is low and my fsh is too high, they said im in pre menopause, I dont want to give up until I get a second AFC. on the first one the Doctor couldnt find my ovaries, Sent me straight to an Egg donor. I havent responded, Instead I started taking Co10 and Dhea. Hope it works.
Sending you loads of baby dust. They are QUICK to suggest egg donation. Follow your heart. DHEA increased my AFC, which I was very grateful for....
get a second opinion, one dr told me this, turned out they tested me at the wrong time of the month and my thyroid was off. Thyroid levels must be under 2.5 to have a healthy pregnancy.
I'm having the same problem.
I'm 44 how old are you?
@@SimplyTanika dear would like to know please have your period ever stoped as I just sub. To your channel and so proud of what you did and wish you all the best.
Dhea is beneficial for your low AMH?
Hey tanika I'm diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and I'm on supplements you told in your video.Even I went for PRP ovary.Can you just tell me how many months I should be taking the medicines.
You need at least 3 months in order for it to impact your body and hopefully your eggs!
My fsh was 8.8 and it is 6.3 now with DHEA. I start ivf soon. Can you use dhea with ivf medicine and use it until to egg collection,xxx
Work with your RE. Some regularly work with DHEA and others don't. Make sure you are transparent about all your vitamins, supplements and recreational drug use.
@@SimplyTanika . Ivf doctors dont recommend dhea, it's not allowed in uk. They don't know about it. They are useless.
I am older lady with diminished ovarian reserve, so I definitely need dhea to improve my ivf outcome.
My hormones test come back beautiful 😍 I truly believe dhea can help to, you got to believe it
Congratulations!
I have PCOS I took it for anti-aging and DHEA got my period back and
Fix my PCOS ..so yes u can take it what a blessing supplement
So happy for you. Would like to ask you please I didnt get my period too as for almost 4 mon. Now but did you did any hormone test as when I did they found my FSH very very high I was very frustreated as I am still 40.
I’m just curious how high was yours mine is 103 very very frustrated
Could you please let us know what brand you took? I have not had period for months now thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Can you take DHEA & COQ10 together with a fatty meal?
COQ10 and Ubiquinol are fat-soluble molecules and are best absorbed with fat or oils. Best to take with a large meal.
DHEA however is water soluble and will dissolve in fats, oil or alcohol. They are better absorbed if taken with food.
Hope that helps!
@@SimplyTanika Thanks!!
Of course! Best of luck!
Can one with POS take DHEA supplements?
No, it is NOT recommended for women with PCOS.
@@SimplyTanika what about ubiquinol? What can one with pcos take? I'm 46 what can I do?
Do you take CoQ10 all month long or certain days of the cycle?
All month long.
@@SimplyTanika thanks
@@SimplyTanikaHi, thank you for this video. Did you stop the CoQ10 (took late last year for a month and stopped) after getting a positive pregnancy test? And same question about the DHEA(ive never taken this). I'm always confused about when to stop.
Hi where did you buy your ubiquinol
Amazon!
I wonder if the vitamins works the same if u just let the vitamin dissolve in ur mouth. Never learned to swallow pills.
A sublingual vitamin will. You put it under your tongue and it dissolves. My Vitamin D is like that.
@@SimplyTanika yes my vitamin d do too. But the ubiquninol I just let it dissolve in my mouth. Fingers cross it can work like that too because there is no way I can swallow that pill.
You are a gangsta! I don't think I could keep it in under my tongue long enough for it to dissolve. They also have places that will do a shot and/or IV of the CoQ10
do our ovaries produce eggs ?
Before we are born our ovaries produces our eggs, yes.
Can we take this during our period? Or stop during period?
You can take them all month long. Definitely have your DHEA tested before taking it.
Does it come in plant base
These both occur naturally in the body. I'm not sure what you mean by plant base?
I have 8.95 amh level shld I take this please suggest me
That is a very high AMH. You should be fine. Is there a doctor telling you otherwise??
My infertility Dr. @ Kaiser Permanente she said that DHEA and Q10 is prescribed when females have a miscarriage...
+Alicia Sanchez makes sense! I had a miscarriage in April of 2017 and even though we didn’t test the embryo, egg quality was considered to be a factor due to my age.
+Alicia Sanchez nice! I had a miscarriage last year and am “advanced maternal age” so there ya go!
Have you tried NMN
Yes.
Follicle size can b increased?
Follicle count.
Are you still taking this?
Only the Ubiquinol
Do you still get period I haven’t and i want to have a baby
Go for it! A fertility doctor can help you.
I've been taking DHEA, Multivitamins(prenatal), vitamin D3 5000 and thyroid med. I want to add Co Q10. But hubby doesn't want me to 😭 what do you think?
I am a big fan of Ubiquinol, It is great for the mitochondria. How old are you are and why doesn't your hubby want you to take it?
@@SimplyTanika he feels that I've been taking a lot of supplements already. 😂
Oh! I know that feeling. I started to feel like an old lady when I would dispense my meds for the week on Sunday!
@@SimplyTanika LOL 😂 thanks for your advise!
I also want to take coq10 but I think how much supplements ...i am taking.well I will ask my RE on next visit that should i take it or not.
I m also started ovares plus and ubiquinol 400 mg.my 1st ivf had failed.then I wish to gap of 4 months.in this time I m taking these medicines. My AMH is very low.40
Sorry about your failed IVF. That is never easy. What are the doctors recommending as you next steps?
@@SimplyTanika dr said try another cycle with doner egg.but I refused.i will try with my own egg in jule month.in between 4 month I have take ubiquinol and DHEA ,fish oil ,vit E and melatonin. Pls advice me what can I do for success
@@namratasingh889 Hi girl I hope things are going well for you. My AMH level is about the same like yours. Did the supplements helped your follicles in anyway? I took the DHEA for 2 months with no improvement and had 2 failed ivf. My doctor told me to continue the DHEA, but I stopped secretly. Do you think I should continue?
@@bebettertoday8444 I had eaten those supplements for 6 months.but no result.only wasted of money and time.go with doner egg ivf
@@namratasingh889 Thank you so much. I’m glad I stopped and I’m not going back to it. I was worried about the scary side effects.
i m pakistani my left overy is silent can i take these medicine
Dear Shaheen Fatima,
Those are supplements not medications. Both COQ10 or DHEA are good for antiaging benefits. Therefore, there is no harm in taking them.
😘
Hi ... my AMH level only 0.7 and I am 35 years old never been pregnant and have pcos and fibroids ...
My doctor adviced me to go for IVF immediatly... do you advice me the same as well?
Hi Sweetie. I am not a medical professional and it would be hard to even give my opinion with such limited information. I would strongly urge you to contact a reproductive endocrinologist and partner with her/him to agree the best path forward for you. I wish the best of luck!
Simply Tanika Thank you
Hi Tanika,
My AMG is 0.02 🙄 do you think DHEA can increase AMH?
+mccaljamaica Studies have shown that DHEA can increase active follicles. There haven’t been any studies, that I have found, that demonstrate anything can increase AMH.
@@SimplyTanika hi dear just watched your videos for the first time.i read in baby community centre that if there's vit d deficiency then your amh will be low.vitamin d supplements can increase your amh level.
Tamika you're an angel,
May God bless you.
Dear Tanika ,i am too sleepy now.... i have been watching your cHannel and it has given such great drive not to give up. I am also on the "other side" when it comes to age,but God willing, i will carry my own babby with my own eggs! Thanks .
My overioan reserve or AMH is 0.1 so upset I'm 36 Years OLD

Hi Parisa! DHEA is dehydroepiandrosterone and Ubiquinol is the reduced, active antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). I hope that helps!
I ovulate late and my luteal phase is too short, should I be taking Co Q10
Hi Marissa! CoQ10 is great for providing additional energy to our mitochondria in our cells. The egg is the largest cell in the body. More forward thinking REs are in favor of women over 40 supplementing with CoQ10 to help restore our levels (it occurs naturally in our body) to where they were when we were younger.
A short luteal phase is usually due to a hormonal imbalance. Something off in the transitioning of estrogen and progesterone. I would say look into maca root to help restore your hormonal balance. How short is your luteal phase? How long has it been short? Are you confirming ovulation with a thermal shift by charting?
@@SimplyTanika thank you for the reply I am only 24 that's why I was asking if you recommend that I should take Co q-10 my luteal phase is only 8 or 9 days and I know that it should be between 12 to 14 days I was on birth-control for the past 4 years and I'm not taking birth control anymore but I am trying to lengthen them my luteal phase,I track my basal body temperature charting my temperature that's how I know my luteal phase is too short
My luteal phase has been short for the past 4 years because of the birth control I want to restore the balence my harmones
Got it. Because of your age, you probably don't need CoQ10. The birth control has basically stopped your cycle for four years, so you'll need to give it a bit of time to balance itself out and figure out it's new normal. You can support that process with maca root and even vitex. (Vitex seems to cause side effects for both, so I wouldn't recommend starting with that one.) Charting is a great way to know your cycle, good for you! Try the maca root in a shake. Stay away from phytoestrogens for a bit (Soy and flaxseeds, for example) and give your body a chance to do what it is meant to do. Also, make sure you are getting enough sleep and doing some relaxation exercise or activities on a regular basis. Those help regulate hormones and calm the nervous system. Best of luck and please keep me posted!
Is this for women over 40 only
Hi Erickey Gem. Great Question! No. It's for women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) or Premature Ovarian Failure (POF). Premature ovarian failure (POF) is when a woman's ovaries stop working before she is 40. Most women with POF cannot get pregnant naturally. Fertility treatments help a few women; others use donor eggs to have children. There is no treatment that will restore normal ovarian function. However, many health care providers suggest taking hormones until age 50. (Source data: medlineplus.gov/prematureovarianfailure.html )
Simply Tanika I recently had an m/c and I’m planing on trying again after my first period and I’m looking for great fertility supplements other than “box brands” I’ve herd about Maca vitex and pre seed (box brand ) I haven’t tried anything yet but again look for support supplements
Simply Tanika by the ever great video
no, I have been taking dhea, dha, and coQ-10 for a long time, 16yrs. I'm 34 now, but when I was 18 I was in a traumatic accident that tore me up literally, from the floor up and 2 years afterward I began to take supplements bc I had a traumatic brain injury. I'm blessed to be alive and functioning and the docs didn't think I would ever be anything but a vegetable. Now, I'm a happy wife with a wonderful life with my amazing husband and my ovaries are bulging with follicles. (follicles mature into eggs) now I just got to have a surgery to check my cervic/tubes and see why I've not gotten pregnant
@@mrs.228 did you find out the reason for your infertility
Does dhea cause birth defects in fetus?
There are no documented instances but it is not recommended for use after pregnancy is confirmed.
Can we take during cycle ?
Hello Tanika. Thank you for your advises. Can a continue using Co q 10 and DHA during pregnancy? God bless you and your baby.
but dheaa gave me pcos like cysts i suppose this isn’t for everyone
Definitely partner with your healthcare provider. You want to have a good baseline
do you still have your period with this.? i took dhea but my period didn't come for two days... is this normal.?
I do have my period while taking these. Do you track ovulation? Typically your luteal phase (the time from ovulation to your period) remains the same, mine is 12 days for example. So if you are sure you ovulated and your period hasn't come at it's regular time I would say take a HPT! You might get a BFP. Let me know how it goes?!
Simply Tanika what is HPT and BFP ? I only ask because it'll help me..
Hi
Hello
Be careful of the dosage of DHEA. IT IS VERY DIFFERENT FOR WOMEN AND MEN. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. SEE AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST.
Yes, absolutely! I'm taking 75mg and have my levels tested via a blood test.
