i am feeling like such a mess right now regarding all things children and fertility. i'm currently deciding if I want to freeze my eggs or freeze embryos with my mtf girlfriend, meanwhile I literally still don't even know if I want kids. i'm 35 and my fertility is low, so now would be the time to freeze, but that involves getting daily shots of hormones and a procedure that costs 5-10k, so it would be NICE TO KNOW if i even WANT THAT! it feels so unfair. why can't i just continue flouncing around like an idiot for the next 10-15 years before having to think about any of it tbh.

Hugs. I wasn’t ready in my 20 and now that 40 is looming, I feel like I’m quickly running out of time. I did get tested and found (surprisingly) that my eggs are still there, just waiting, lol. But, I also have PCOS and it’s been an absolute bitch trying to get pregnant w/o fertility assistance.

It’s just not fair that we have to decide on this so early in our lives. :(

I also have PCOS and my RE said that myoinisotol (I think 2,000mg/day) and COQ10 (ubiquinol form) 600 mg/day had shown some promise. I’m certain they helped me, though the other fertility-specific drugs of course helped too. So if you’re interested in trying to have a baby one day I’d definitely recommend the two supplements, though they’re not inexpensive either.

Ty, I’ll look into this, my doctor never mentioned either.

My RE didn’t mention them until I asked if there were any supplements that I should take. I wasn’t sure she’d actually suggest any; my doctor is at Northwestern they’re very evidence based, but usually what I hear about fertility “aids” is stuff like eat McDonald’s fries or whatever so I have been skeptical.
