Fertility Supplements: Starting fertility pills 3 months before trying

[@caitlinpaterson9710]

Would love to know what supplements your husband is also taking! Also - do you take all of these through your your pregnancy as well at the same dosage? Or just eliminate the ones with the * ?

[@DrJoleneBrighten]

Great questions. I’ll share a video about what my husband is taking soon. I do change things up once pregnant.

[@brittanyobryant9371]

Would love to hear more about diet and lifestyle changes

[@joannebuttner]

Thanks for this video... what supplements is Dad taking to boost his fertility?

[@DrJoleneBrighten]

Yes! Video coming on that!

I currently take ubiquinol (along with my husband) since it’s the more bio available form of coq10. Is there a difference between coq10 and ubiquinol when it comes to taking these to help support fertility?

[@marjsanchez]

Hello, could you let us know which you continue into pregnancy? Thanks

[@ashleypentecost6436]

Dr. brighten, you didn’t mention your Omega Plus? Didn’t it used to be advertised as a pregnancy planning pack with the Prenatal and MegaSpore? Do we not need EPA/DHA when trying to conceive?

[@paolamatarazzo2709]

Great video, thank you so much! I am currently taking breastfeeding post-natal vitamins since I’m still breastfeeding my 2 year old. Should I continue with those or switch to pre natals while trying to conceive? Thank you for your advice!

Hi Dr, I’ve seen conflicting things that said taking NAC may lower Ferritin levels as it’s chelating. Is there any truth to this? Thanks

[@girlonabike1]

I hadn’t heard this, but would love to hear more about this as I’m supplementing due to low ferritin.

Hello, I am so glad I found your videos. But I am 49, 2 months shy of turning 50. Is it possible for me to become pregnant? I have begun taking fertility supplements called TrueYou as well. Any positive input is welcome, thank you!

[@Intrepiddabbler]

Off topic but trying to find an answer: what do you think of testosterone shots with estrogen pellets and progesterone pills. Is that combo ok?

[@rosabernal2198]

Do you discontinue everything once you find out you’re pregnant?

[@adaireamorris5483]

32 and want to start ttc by next year… I have been taking your balance and adrenal supps for about 60 days now. Should I add these in addition to what I am already taking?

[@14joaninha]

After reading your book Beyond the Pill i started taking NAC and realized I’m allergic to it. What do you recommend to take instead?

[@wood18net]

how allergic ?

[@jessicabeebe659]

Hello Dr. Brighten! What are your thoughts on nicotinamide as a fertility aide?

[@shelbietyndall1184]

I have PCOS and I really have been wanting to get pregnant without having to go threw with any fertility injections do you have any ideas of what I can do for that also I've been told weight had been the reason of why I can't get pregnant but I loose weight just to gain it back all the time what should I do please 🥺

[@rachealhill6816]

I’ve always heard to not continue adaptogens during pregnancy; but I’ve always ignored that advice. I continued my adaptogens during both of my pregnancies. My first one I did very small doses. My second pregnancy, I did my usual dose (1900mg) of ashwagandha, 250mg of rhodiola, and a blend of a few other adaptogens. And I had a beautiful healthy home birth with my second. So what is the reason behind not continuing adaptogens during pregnancy? Is it just because there aren’t enough studies on it? I’m also 41. I just gave birth 4 months ago and am breastfeeding; but I really want a 3rd baby too. I was 40 when I gave birth in Feb. I would like to give birth to #3 at least within my 42nd year.

Hello. How much B12 one should take for fertility daily ?

[@julieruano2670]

What CoQ10 supplement brand do you recommend?

[@wood18net]

what about inosytol before egg freezing ?

[@DrJoleneBrighten]

Myoinositol can be helpful drbrighten.com/inositol-fertility-benefits/

[@wood18net]

@@DrJoleneBrighten thank you but it is so confusing cause I hear some say pre natal vitamins before egg or embryo freezing and Myoinositol for women with pcos only, what's your opinion ? ps:thank you for all the amazing content and your book was amazing.

[@xmyxymx]

I find that ashwagandha kills my libido, can't figure out what the connection/reason is..

[@DrJoleneBrighten]

Very interesting. There’s been small studies to show the opposite, but you need to trust what is true for you.

[@jessicabeebe659]

Did Ashwaganda make you tired at all? I had to stop taking the gummy bc I was getting sleepy.

[@veronicaott2337]

I’d love to hear your spouses’ supplements as well (:
