I’ve had elevated cholesterol since I was 20 & 105 pounds, not a red meat eater (total genetic problem). I started taking coq10 to help egg quality & it ended up really helping my cholesterol levels. They are the best HDL/LDLI’ve had. 🤷♀️
Outside my area of expertise but there is minimal evidence that CoQ10 lowers LDL (maybe in diabetics) and none that it increases HDL. Don't sell yourself short. Its likely all of the other healthy lifestyle choices you make. Good work!
@@InfertilityTV idk what did it but I’ll take it. I’ve always exercised & avoided red meat bc of this issue I’ve had since in my early 20’s. Maybe it’s the fish oil? I’ve been taking that too. Love your channel!
"The lack of an effect of CoQ10 on LBR and MR may be attributed to the small number of studies that provided data on these outcomes (two and three studies, respectively),whereas CPR data were extracted from all included studies (five studies). However, a trend for a beneficial effect of CoQ10 on LBR and MR was evident, despite the lack of statistical significance." This is from the meta-analysis you have mentioned above.
1) Lack of any proven benefit may be due to insufficient power, however, even if a future study shows some benefit (unlikely), when added into the meta-analysis, it likely means that any beneficial effect would be exceedingly small 2) Lack of statistical significance means that the results could be due ENTIRELY to chance rather than to a treatment effect
Thank you for this video. It prevented me buying these unnecessarily and have another disappointment. What do you think about royal jelly? Can it truly boost fertility? Thank you for your answer.
Have those studies showing that CoQ10 did not improve over placebo actually tested whether CoQ10 levels increased following supplementation? Thing is, oral CoQ10 is poorly absorbed. Therefore, to be sure, only administration od intramuscular CoQ1o could actually produce a possible effect. Since you have not listed the studies I could not verify whether the scientists checked levels of CoQ10 following oral administration
This is crazy because I have been to 4 IVF Dr's and IVF Acupuncturist and they all have pretty recommended CoQ10. Who do you believe? I am so frustrated
Believe the data! Maybe someday one of these supplements companies will conduct a large scale, high quality study will show a benefit to CoQ10. They will submit their data to the FDA and then receive approval to market their supplement as an effective treatment. We dont have that now. The BEST you can say is that its hopefully not causing too much harm
@@InfertilityTV not really. Embryo = Personhood failed several years ago. I’m hoping cooler heads will prevail. We have some friends in high places. Hopefully they will listen to reason. It is a bit scary, I must admit.
@@InfertilityTV I'm so sorry. I couldn't load it for ages but i have now watched it and seen that my question was premature and senseless. Thank you for your wonderful and helpful videos. I've recently subbed and I'm really enjoying the content. Have a lovely day😊
Hi doc. Atm here in london the ivf clinic told me to take coq10, vit d3, omega3 and alpha lipoic acid., I had endometriosis laparoscopy twice. And 1st ivf last year frozen transfer results chemical pregancy.
My husband has taken coq10 for 6 month before my egg retrieval. But morphology was 0.5%. We have to do TESA after that. And out of 8 eggs 7 we're blastocyst. 5 of them are 4aa and 2 were 3aa
I have been following ur videos since years. I didnt saw any promising things for ivf success. So the bottom line is , is IVF is jst an " try ur luck " game ? As there is nothing proven to improve chances.
Sorry I know this question is not related to this video but I saw couple of unanswered questions at right place so putting here (also commented same under the video of IUI) Is there a chance that fimbrea at the end of Fallopian tubes (which are open) won't able to pick up egg and egg would get lost somewhere in Abdominal/Pelvic area ? If so, what are causes & are there any way to detect & prevent this? I observed most if not all Drs. never speak about this issue, hoping if you are having any thoughts. Thanks in advance!
wow, I started taking them three weeks before my egg retrieval. They have retrieved 12 eggs and only 3 reached blastcyst I am so confused whether to stop taking them or continue, especially when everyone including my doctor has told me to take them help pls 😔
LOL. The nice thing about writing a book like that is that there is no "peer review" process. You can make any claims you want and because it is a "book" people tend to believe it. Preying on the desperation of others is a great way to get rich
Dr. Morris, I would love to come to your office for an evaluation especially since my obgyn has suggested that I see an REI /IVF doctor 9 months ago after my last miscarriage. Here’s the stumbling block I ran into when I called ur office , left a message and someone called me back. She asked me a few questions one including if I’m trying to conceive and the other one she stated something about me bringing my partner in was a must. The problem is my partner does not live here in the same state and he won’t be able to come in but possibly later on. I’m mainly looking to have myself evaluated since I’m the one who’s had 3 miscarriages in a 10yr span with three different partners. None of my pregnancies made it past 10 weeks. Is it possible to get an appointment to focus on my health and get an answer on why this keeps happening to me.?? HELP!! ☹️☹️☹️
Hmmm. We have not done consultations in the office for two years now. All consults are done by video so it really doesn't matter people live. However, you can have a consultation and an evaluation without your partner's participation
I just started taking coq10 last week because I’m starting my first ivf cycle later this month. Should I just stop taking it all together? So much information out there but who knows what is right and wrong anymore. I’m 37 so I really need this to work on my first try!
This is the problems with SCAMs and other misinformation. If you flood the internet with enough reviews and social media posts , people will say "I don't know what to believe" This is why good science is more important than ever If somebody publishes a randomized placebo controlled trial in a reputable peer reviewed medical journal today that shows CoQ10 improves the live birth rate, I will start recommending it to my patients tomorrow. There is a reason why supplement companies are not allowed to make claims that their compound can "treat or cure any medical problem" - it is because in the USA, you must prove your supplement or drug works before you can make those claims.
We Are in same boat i started mine on monday but i have headpains every day starting my number two i vf nest week after the first One failed on 10 th this week .

Thank you Dr my ivf can.t success the 1st time doctr say egg quality befor i start 2nd what i do Please help he take 6 egg but didn't work i am 36 years
Thank you, this is very valuable information! I was prescribed Metformin to improve my egg quality, however it caused alot of GI upset and I had to stop. In place of it my fertility clinic recommended ovasitol or myo-inositol. Can you please comment on those? Thank you again!
Metformin may help women with insulin resistance or PCOS to ovulate There is no data to show that metformin (or anything) improves egg quality Supplements like ovasitol / myoinositol have not yet been demonstrated to be effective
Can we have ivf if we are having pcos? I have pcos and my doctors want to wait till the medication work. But I don’t want it. I want to go for ivf as it makes things easier and faster.. please let me know
IVF is a commonly used treatment for people with PCOS. IVF does have higher pregnancy rates BUT I don't think many people would say that it is "easier"
@@InfertilityTV well said. I’ve already had my egg retrieval and I am waiting until the results of my saline sonogram to see if we can start my FET. I had very good response and results so far, but it has not been easy at all.

THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS ADVOCATING FOR GOOD SCIENCE. It is so hard to get this message across with supplements and natural health products.
Agreed. But interestingly, there is nothing "natural" about them
Great video! Thanks, Randy!!
Many have stated that IVF will be banned in Missouri (and other states with trigger laws) after Roe falls this summer. Do you have a plan?
@@InfertilityTV not really. Embryo = Personhood failed several years ago. I’m hoping cooler heads will prevail. We have some friends in high places. Hopefully they will listen to reason. It is a bit scary, I must admit.
Is it the same answer that CoQ10 doesn’t make a difference if you are TTC naturally?
Such a helpful & informative video. Thank you Doc!
Informative 👌
Doctor which vitamin to take when your doing Ivf
Thank you, sir/ Please recommend infertility supplements for those over 40 years of age.
I am not aware of any particular supplement that has been shown increase the chance for a live birth in people over the age of forty.
@@InfertilityTV Thank you sir
Please I want to get pregnant what should I do or eat to get pregnant?
Is there a specific amount to take? And should men and women take it? I'm 40, partner is 43. Thank you doctor. God bless.

Hi doc. Atm here in london the ivf clinic told me to take coq10, vit d3, omega3 and alpha lipoic acid.,
I had endometriosis laparoscopy twice. And 1st ivf last year frozen transfer results chemical pregancy.
I hope you read my comment and answer. I hope to have twins. Should I use it Q10
Coq10 is so expensive. At Kroger it’s 50$ for a bottle of 30tabs. Your risk that you posted I took it and non of that stuff happened to me.
My husband has taken coq10 for 6 month before my egg retrieval. But morphology was 0.5%. We have to do TESA after that. And out of 8 eggs 7 we're blastocyst. 5 of them are 4aa and 2 were 3aa
Hello. So what that on the positive side for you and your husband?
Update ? My husband also has 1% morphology? Did anything work for you? Please suggest
Does coq 10 increase breast cancer risk?
Is it the same for Ubiquinol? I’m currently spending £40-80 a month on Ubiquinol
Yes. The same.
What about the egg quality?
I have been following ur videos since years. I didnt saw any promising things for ivf success. So the bottom line is , is IVF is jst an " try ur luck " game ? As there is nothing proven to improve chances.
Seriously, it looks like 'try and see if you are lucky' to me! But endometrial health and synchrony I think helps a lot in implantation
I love you Dr. You always give me real facts.
