The Facts About Egg Quality and How to Improve It 

Dr Aimee , Do you recommend to keep taking the Coq10 & DHEA during the 2 weeks wait post IUI ? I just stopped it in case . I'm taking progesterone and afraid it interferes with anything . Thank you again !

I love how she calls studies "nice" or "beautiful". : ) It shows how much she loves and appreciates the science and the research that comes out. I wish every doctor was like her, seriously.

It was through a Redidit post that I found out about Dr. Aimee. I’m so grateful to now know about her and wish other fertility doctors took her approach. I’m currently on about month 3 of acupuncture for fertility. My acupuncturist suggested a good amount of these supplements. I don’t believe that we’re truly infertile (unexplained category). It’s just age is a factor for both of us, I’m 34 going on 35 and willing to take the natural route before IVF. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready for IVF, but I know that I’m starting the building blocks for healthy eggs! Thank you so much!!!

This was so great!!! 36 now, IUD removed 1 1/2 ago and have been passively hoping to conceive, but now I'm more intentional and determined at my increasing age.

These supplements and vitamins really work. Thanks to Dr. Aimee, my AMH increase from 1.6 to 2.13 in 1 year. Thanks Dr. Aimee for sharing such valuable info. My first egg retrieval 36 resulted in 8 eggs retrieved 1 day-5 blast and 2 day-6s - 2 ended up being normal. This round after taking vitamins (above) for the better part of a year (maybe a month break here and there) and I had 14 mature eggs retrieved, 11 fertilized, and ultimately 8 Day-5 blasts. Still waiting on PGS testing. I'm also 1 year older, 37.

Hi doc. I fell pregnant very quickly at 38, after taking coq10, fish oil and vitamin D, before taking those supplements we tried a few months and nothing happened. I totally believed it helped. Ad the time my doc could see 5 follicles on one side and 6 on the other, so i still had enough. But the number is not everything

Thank you so much for this video. I watched for the first time last year. I was diagnose with low AMH:0.75 and I have 34 years old. And my husband had low count and also a varicocele problem. He did operate the varicocele and also took the vitamin that you recommended. He took Concept XR and also I took DHEA 25 Gr, COenzima Q10, Omega 3 for 3 months. And also with our amazing doctor now we can say that we wait for our bundle of joy. I'm 8 weeks pregnant now. It's our first baby. So we tried before to get pregnant to fertility,but without luci. And se tried this year again and yeeyyy!!. Thank you so much for all your videos. I learned so much watching them.

Awesome information thank you trying to get my FSH down was 62 now it’s 27 I’m getting there🤞🏽

Thank you for this video...I have PCOS and TTC... this gives me so much hope!

I’ve been trying for 3 years, with a background of severe endo. I was told by my GP that I need to do IVF. Your videos have been a godsend. I no longer fear the process as you have shown me that I am still very much in control of my eggs! I’m totally devouring all your videos. Thank you so so so much for sharing your wisdom! 💝

This is the first video that I have come across giving so much information. Also please advise the chances in the 47th year.

To nourish my eggs the best my doc at Biotexcom recommended to do the following. I was taking daily: Folic acid. Liquid zinc and selenium (NZ is low in selenium. Algae based DHA. Floradix. Vit D. And I inject B12 every 3 months. I got back into my daily breath meditation

Hi, I am currently 44. Can you please help me understand why other fertility doctors would tell me that there is no way of improving egg quality, they have all told me taking all these supplements is a waste of time. Thank you

water fasting, calorie restriction and berberine increases NAD levels naturally in cells. berberine can be found in barberries. dried barberries are super high in vitamin C and one of the highest antioxidant containing berries which are easily available.

Good information and best part of your clinic u have system for international patients of phone call and immediate response too !

Love you Dr. Aimee, you’re amazing!❤️

Love how you give woman on the fertility journey so much advice ❤ I'm 43 and starting the IVF journey because had 2 miscarriages and 1 tubal pregnancy. Both my tubes have now been removed so only option is IVF. Do you think I'd have a winning chance to get pregnant with IVF? I have regular menstrual cycles and I'm healthy

41 suffer with pcos took lots of vitamins in 2 years, chlomid, nothing 😢. I also dropped 2 stone. In UK you have to have 28 BMI max for your ivf which is sick discrimination 😅😅

Dr. Aimee! You’re so amazing! I love your knowledge and videos ❤. I’m preparing for my first egg retrieval and I’ve been taking Q10 300 mg per day as recommended by my doctor. Do you think it’s a lower dosage and I should take more? Thanks 😊

Hi Dr. Aimee, first of all, thank you for sharing all this information. It is easy to understand and give me confidence during this process. I am 43 years old and I had an egg retrieval last week, where they got 4 follicles, 3 were inseminated, 2 of them were fertilized, but none of them survived. Is this could be because of the egg quality? Is there something I can do for improving results on a 2nd retrieval? Many thanks!

Hi Dr. Aimee, thanks for this wonderful advise. I’ve shared it with 3 other friends already. I’m 40 years old, breastfeeding my first child, planning for the 2nd. Is it safe to take açai berry and CoQ10 while breastfeeding?

Love it! Thanks for the tips ❤️

Thank you for your video. Are there recommendations for high prolactin levels?

Thank you Doctor Aimee! I love how meticulous you are with educating us there is no other like you I could really tell you LOVE what you do You Genuinely care. You are helping so much of us all over the WORLD 🌎 Most of all I love how you mentioned our emotional health, that gives us the strength to start treatment or keep faith 🙏🏼 God bless you & thank you forever .

Dr Amiee i m 44 years old unable to conceive the doct. Says u have cross the age to get pregnant.but i haven't lose hope in god.pls suggest me some vitamins which help me to improve the quality of my egg if i have.if it works for me.thanks

Dear doctor Aimy ! I really hope you are keeping safe during these challenging times ... I have a question please , Can DHEA cause a delay in periods ? I take 25 mg per day . I started a week ago and my period are still not here, test is negative. I also had to stop the fertility injections 2 days prior to insemination due date because of the lockdown here in France , and not sure when and if i ovulated . I read that DHEA can cause delay ? my doctor does not want to comment as he doesnt believe in such thing he said , i'm a bit lost . thank you ! and stay safe !

Is green tea ok? Chinese naturopaths say to stay away from green tea and mint tea etc bc its "cooling" to the body, aka anti fertility. Also, how do you feel about royal jelly? I was told it helps improve ovarian function?

Hello Dr. Thank you for genius advice. I had missed miscarriage yesterday I wonder why my ob/gyn didn’t suggest to do embryo genetic test. How soon we can start taking supplements suggested in video after recent miscarriage One more question is there a way i can get your consultation online as im not located in California

NAD and Psterostilbene? Do you still recommend these for fertility in 2022?

Hello Dr Aimee, after a lot of thinking posting this question. I'm going 42, had many miscarriages, last 2 were at about 8 weeks. I'm regular on my thyroid medication and taking all prenatal including Coq10. What do you suggest should be the next logical step. Thanks tons in advance, you are changing lives here with this platform 👍🤗

I took ovasitol in past as i have pcos, but whenever i took it, it caused extremely heavy bleeding with huge blood clots. Everything got normal when i stopped taking it. I don't know what it was doing but i was really almost dead bleeding. Rest i wanna thank you for such a wonderful videos.

I think it just all depends on the woman her genetics and things of that nature

Dr. Aimee, I am 30 years old and I have tried IUI with a failed outcome. My partner and I were recommended to go with IVF and we did. We went through the whole process and waited for our embryos to fertilize, but that was not our case. He retrieved 9 eggs however, my Doctor was able to fertilize 2 embroys at day 3 and now wants to tranfer it. I'm having doubts because he told me I had bad quality eggs and that was the reason my other eggs didn't make it to day 5. I'm lost and sad and just overwhelmed 😢. Please helpe me I beg you 🙏

Hi Dr Aimee! I’m underway on my first IVF cycle. Waiting for my scheduled first FET. Are any of these supplements also helpful with implantation and during pregnancy? Since my eggs have been retrieved already. Thanks 😊

I had my worst cycles after taking Tru Niagen. Since then, I've heard that it can make endometriosis worse. Maybe it's not worth it to recommend to everyone if a significant percentage of patients will have endo or silent endo? Just a thought. Also, there haven't been great human studies yet.

Thank you for sharing this💓

Good evening Dr Aimee- when you say Fish oil, is Krill Oil okay? Just heard it has less mercury than regular fish oil. This is specifically for egg quality. Thank you for your advice 🙏🏽🌈

This video is so helpful❤

Hi Dr Aimee, is 10mg of melatonin too much to take on a daily basis? I work the night shift and this the only natural sleep medicine that has helped me. Thank you!

Hi dr aimme. We just finished our ivf and it went really bad, all the embryos (11) died in the process. I'm 35 and have good reserve and my husband sperm was fine. The doctors don't know what happened but their saying it could be a chromosome problem. We are both young and healthy. I'm afraid to try for another round and end up with the same result. I spoke to my doctor about the supplements but she doesn't really believe in them. We are not sure what to do. Should I begin taking the supplements anyways. And if we do when do you recommend to start another ivf. We've been trying for more than 3 years and nothing.Thank you so much. I love your videos.

Thanks, very helpful video.

Thank you!!! I love this

im following your recipe im 44 lets see if it works

Hi Dr Aimee, first of All : Thank you , you have no idea how you are making a difference for me, I so wish you were here in Paris! . No one talks about any other supplement here besides Folic Acids. so thank you for this video and all of the others . I have noted all CoQ10/ DHA / VitaD with fish oil etc . Should I get all of them ? or select any ? i'm a bit confused on what to take. FYI i am turning 39 in a week , been TTC for 1.5 year , had 1 misscarriage 5 months ago at 5w5d , AMH is 0.3 and FSH was 14 first check and second it came down to 7 ( did Macca for 1 month between both) . My fertility specialist was very negative about my chances of conceiving ( hubby sperm count is "correct" he said and i'm too low) , i have no medical condition besides low ovarian reserve, I don't smoke, very fit , i eat my greens everday . Thank you for helping me picking some or all these supplements . Thank you again

Hi Dr. Aimee , my sister will be going for IUI within a week or 10 days, as in PCT there were immotile sperm She is on fertility treatment with letroz, metformin, D-chiro inositol ,myo inositol, L-methylfolate and mecobalamin Also she is on prenatal vitamin but it doesn't contain DHA and omega-3 fatty acid. Her husband is on medicine having combination of L-arginine, L-citrulline, ashwagandha, safed musli, ginseng, phoenix dactylifera, L-carnitine, mucuna pruriens and vitis Vinifera, and medicine tadalafil. Is there any thing more to add?? Please help regarding which supplement or medicine should be taken post IUI

I have a question… if i started taking pregnancy supplements, should i stop taking my regular vitamins because they are also incorporated in the pregnancy vitamins brand i take?

Interesting my mom is 62 and still hasn’t gone through menopause and she’s been taking resveratrol for years!

Hi Dr. Aimee, I went for an ultrasound and it showed a dominant follicle of 31mm. I'm not very well versed in reproductive health, but in reading a little bit, I saw that this is a bit large and might contain a bad egg. I was told it's in the range of normal though. I'm 30 years old. Are larger follicles something that happens in some cycles or could it be a sign of infertility?

Dr Aimee do you still recommend all the same supplements if ttc naturally? Also, where can we check which supplements are safe to take while breastfeeding still? I have endo and want to start taking coq10 and nac, but not able to find if they are safe while BF.

Hi Aimee, great video. I am a medical resident myself. I loved how positive you are. I am 34 yrs old and under fertility treatment. I had my first IUI done recently. I have not taken any special supplements as my doctor did not suggest anything. All my hormone levels and USG looked normal. So my husbands so far. I have a quick question about the supplement you mentioned from coastal science. It has bunch of other vitamins as well. It has Coq 10 too. If taking that, should I not take prenatal and Coq 10 separately? I am not sure if you ll be able to see or answer my query after a year. But if you can Please let me know. Thanks so much.

Hi Dr Aimee, excellent advises..Alas! I could do my treatment with u.

Hi Dr. Aimee! Do you recommend to take Tru Neigin during prognancy as well? Is it safe during prognancy?

Thanks so much for the information. I am going to freeze my eggs and will follow your recommendations. But theralogix coq10 is not Ubiquinol. What is a good brand of Ubiquinol? Thanks

Can I take myo-inositol and coq10 together for pcos and egg quality

Hello Dr Aimee who is this supplements affect high blood pressure medication?

Hi Dr Aimee, can you recommend a good prenatal vitamin for people who are allergic to fish? Thank you.

Thank you Dr. For the great information. What supplement can a patient with endometriosis use? tried Coenzyme Q and Myoinnositol but developed cysts that had to be removed surgically.

My amh is 0.44 . My first ivf cycles no eggs were retrieved . What should I do . My doc is asking me to take coq10 . How long should I take and when should I go for next cycles

I don't agree with what the doctor say about the fertility AIDS because they told me the same thing and literally I didn't have all my children until in my 30s and I had six back to back

I have scanty periods - I'm 35- my amh is 0.5

Thank you for the info Dr. Aimee. I had my first cycle of IVF in October 2020 - failed, with 11 eggs, 7 mature eggs, 2 fertilized, 1 for fresh embryo transfer, and 1 didn’t not make to the frozen level. The embryologist found that there were little dark spots on my eggs and were too soft, and suspected the quality of the egg is not good due to endometriosis (unbearable period cramp and pain) and I am 34 years old. I am currently on COq10 800mg, fish oil, prenatal vitamins, and 2000 IU vitamin D per day. And what else do you recommend to take in order to improve the egg quality? Should I take melatonin too? My doctor has put me on Lupron for 3 months because of my endometriosis, and plan to start another IVF cycle on Feb 2021. I need mediation. 🥰

Hi Doctor,are DHEA supplements recommended to a person with PCOS. Also,does a person having low estrogen classify as a PCOS patient. Your points in video are very clear !

Hi Dr. Aimee, is it ok to keep taking Açaí supplements while on IVF stims or should I just take it before starting stims?

What do you think about folic acid vs methylfolate? I know I don’t have the gene mutation so is folic acid okay? Are there any risks with taking folic acid? I read too much can be a bad thing and my prenatal has 800mcg folic acid

I've been taking 800 mg of Ubiquinol coQ10 (400 mg twice daily). Is this too much? My doctor recommended 800 mg of COQ10 daily, but i was unaware that Ubiquinol form was stronger in the manner you described. I just thought it was the more pure and easier to digest form. What should i do now? Im half way through my medicated cycle & now concerned if i'v been taking way too much, as youve said 250 mg is the equivalent to about 750 mg. If I'm taking 800 mg of Ubiquinol coQ10 each day, is that too much, dangerous, harmful or detrimental to my cycle???? 😬

Thank you for all the info. Anything I can take besides melatonin? It gives me headaches afterwards💗

Am 48yrs , had some hormonal test recently with low amh . Am currently experiencing regularities with my period. But wish to improve my egg quality. Pls which of the supplement do you recommend. Thanks.

Hello Dr. Aimee, for male fertility, do you recommend both supplements mentioned? ConceptionXR and Proxeed Plus combined or just choose one? Also, for Ovisotal (not sure I spelled that right) would that be recommended for someone with PCOS but has regular periods and ovulation? I have PCOS but after some weight-loss(60 pounds)I have had very normal cycles and ovulation. Just curious if this would still benefit my egg quality without interrupting my cycle. Thank you so much 😊

Can't get this prenatal in the UK can you recommend a like for like alternative please?

I'm 50 as of the middle of this month ,my partner wants us to have a child,he's 47..how should I start to check my eggs? I'm in the Caribbean/Jamaica.What should be my first move?

Dr. Aimee I'm 35 yrs. old pushing 36 in Feb. what do I do if my doctor just told me that I have 0.6 low egg count? I need your help & advise please. I also have high blood pressure. I need you help desperately. Thank you

Mam I checked with my doctor on April 21 my amh level is 1.1 but on August 21 my amh level is 0.41 the doctor suggested me to lose weight in healthy way within three months.

I kindlyhope u will answer 🙏🏼: Why is fertility center harm fertility? (Can u explain in other words?) Why does it accelerate to get menopause? Thank you for your fantastic video ❤️

Hi Dr. Aimee, what is the dosage of Coq10 that will be effective for improving egg quality. In this video you initially mentioned Theralogix contains 750 mg each tablet. Than you mentioned 250 mg to be taken. So I got confused. Please recommend the dosage per day

Dr my amh is very low 0.087 an d fsh is 9.5 . My one ivf cyle failed . Husband motility little bit low .i m taking dhea, coq10 200 mg daily, omega 3 and folic acid 400 . My husband is taking preman , vitamin e and omega 3 .. can u pls suggest about medicine. These r right for natural concieve.or u can suggest hs any thing else pls reply i m waiting.

Thank you so much. This information is so valuable. Do you have any thoughts on taking NMN instead of NR?

Why can’t you take melatonin if you have thyroid issues? I have Hashimotos and take it AND am trying to get pregnant after 3 pregnancy losses

Can you provide a link to all the supplements you discussed? I want them all.

I’m curious how you feel about Thorne brand CoQ10 brand suppliers. I’ve always been told that’s a good brand.

Does the dosage change if it’s Ubiquinone? The bottle shows 200mg per capsule.

Hi Dr Aimee I have PCOS now I'm in the process of doing IVF do you recommend me take NeoQ10 or prenata DHAl?

Dr Aimee please how can I do away with Pelvic Inflammatory disease

Dr what do think about Proxeed Plus? Our doctor is recommending for my husband but it's pricey, $50-60 per pack of 30 and husband needs to take twice daily.

I don't have PCOS, but endocrinologist prescribed metformin as a preparation medicine for IVF. can Metformin be used for non-pcos females getting ready for IVF ? Pls suggest daily dosage and how long can this be used

Dr. Aimee, I took Letrozole for 1 year, after that I took Clomid for 6 months, with no success. I had always been told that I had PCOS but when I went to the fertility specialist he said that I don't have PCOS that I have DOR my FSH is 10.2 at the age of 32 and my estradiol is 46. Is IVF really my only option? Or should I start by taking the CoQ10 If I start CoQ10 should I still continue Clomid?

What kind of ubiquinone or obiquinol?which is better for fertility and how many grams?

Thanks Dr. Aimee! I am your age and tried 200mg of Pterostilbene and oddly enough, I experienced the exact same weird reactions you described for TruNiagen. Since most studies show minimal side effects I am wondering whether it is poorly interacting with my other daily supplements (Prenatal, 600 mg Ubiquinol, fish oil, Tyrosine, Lysine). Should I cut down to just 100 mg or eliminate it overall?

Hi, I love your content. I'm 36 with no health issues, currently taking folic acid pills every day should I add NeoQ10? I wouldn't want to start popping lots of pills every day. What do you recommend?

Thank you. Really appreciate all the details. May i request your support with alternative coq10 and prenatal brands as the same is not available in Dubai.

Hi Dr Aimee, I had 4 IVF retrievals at 42, made total of 11 blasts..and only one pgta normal frozen and recently transferred which failed. Is there any hope as I turned 43 last month. I’ve took liquid ubiquinol, serovital, total fertility, methanx, baby aspirin, levonox shots, progesterone shots, E2v shots. U name it I’ve done it. I have had a hx of recurrent miscarriages. Tho I did have a baby naturally 9 years ago. But when we started trying again in 2016.. it all resulted in mc by 6-8 weeks.

I hope you're seeing this comment even though this video was posted last year. I am a 35F G1P0 ,TTC. I have a hx of FVL and May-Thurner Syndrome with DVT x2 (the first after 1.5 weeks on BC @ age 20). I have been advised by MFM to begin Lovenox at a therapeutic level prior to TTC. Due to Covid19 I cannot currently get in to see infertility for a consultation. Would any of the recommended supplements possibly create an increased risk for hypercoagulation/dvt? I would like to do as much as possible to reduce the length of time spent TTC on Lovenox as I will have to continue for the duration of pregnancy and possibly short-term postpartum. Thank you!

How do I know if I’ve improved egg quality. I’ve been taking most of your recommended supplements for 2-3 months. Is there a test I can take to see if my eggs are better? I’m sure this is a silly question.

Hello dr aimee I have two missed miscarriage I want to have a healthy pregnancy what can I have take for my eggs not sure if it’s my eggs or not but I know my AMH was in the middle already what can I take supplements to get pregnant healthy I am 38

I am permanent night shift, so does it mean i have to take the melatonin during the day when im normally asleep?

Hi Dr. Aimee, firstly i think that you are doing God's work by giving so much hope to so many women. God Bless you. I've had 2 back to back miscarriages (4 months apart) and i have started looking into what's really happening with me. I've done blood tests for APS (negative), Thryoid function (all normal ranges) and Prolactin (slightly elevated- 27) which i knew would be high due to a pituitary microadenoma that i have and taking bromocriptine for for almost 2 years. My doc is also convinced that i have PCOS and has me on Metformin to help with ovulation. With the combo of the bromocriptine to control the prolactin levels and metformin i believe i got pregnant on both occasions. My issue is keeping the pregnancy clearly. Anyways all of preamble to ask whether taking CoQ10 and DHEA can interact with my current meds? And also would you advise taking my metformin and bromocriptine during the pregnancy? My doc took me off of both when i realized that i was pregnant, and my research suggests that I should have continued with the meds while pregnant. what do you think?

Thanks Dr. Please when in my cycle do I start with CoQ10

I'm 38 and had two previous miscarriages. Tested for testosterone and is 0.22 which my doctor considers on the low side. Should I consider taking DHEA?

Hi Dr. Aimee, I’m trying to buy the prenatal but the website is telling me I need a medical license to purchase their products. Is there a way around this requirement?

Dr Aimee , I was curious to know I am going to spring fertility in San Francisco Ca , if I were to switch over to your fertility clinic would I have to restart the whole process of tests & blood work I’ve done at spring fertility?

Dear madam What do you think about the MNM precursor of NAD+ Thank you
