    I take prenatal, 400mg of coq10, vitamin C, fish oil and maca root. Dh takes vitamin, maca, 200 mg of Coq and vitamin C. This is all from my own research. I don't see an RE and my OB was not helpful when asking about natural stuff.

    Oh make sure your Coq is ubiquinol form.

    @vlagrl29 THANK YOU! I'm almost positive the coq 10 is ubiquinol but I'll double check! Thank you!

    yeah no prob!  I've been at this long enough lol.  I just started adding the extra supplements last month.  This is our final push at natural for the rest of year then I guess we will consult an RE.  I honestly don't have it in me to keep at it naturally for god knows how long but I don't have it in me to do it medically for very long either.  I'm just at that point where I want to enjoy my life.  I'm thinking I'll add rasp leaf to it this month.

    I'd advise against doing anything natural that might alter your hormones or cycle.  Like Soy Isoflaves or Vitex unless maybe you've had your hormones all tested.  Don't mess with what isn't broken.  That's my motto anyways.

    @vlagrl29 AGREED! We both had work ups earlier this year my OB said everything looks good and SO was a little deficient in Vit D so he is taking supplements for that too.

    @vlagrl29 I'm a newbie! First time trying I'll be 37 on Wed! Hoping things go smooth and trying to stay positive about all the crap I read online about ttc after 35!

    well I'm 37 as well and we started trying for #2 when I was 36.  #1 came very easy for us when I was 30.  This is a totally different process.  Don't worry about age.  I believe the AMA stuff they put out there is crap.  you can be very young and have worse issues than someone older.  It's all about lifestyle and how you take care of yourself IMO.  I use to think something was wrong with me but I no longer believe that.
