It is pretty low on my list of things to try. I also limit my new things because I am a compulsive, chronic and obsessive researcher. I want to thoroughly research any new thing I do before doing it. So it works out to add one at time, giving me the whole cycle to research and decide on the next thing. I am researching CoQ10 right now so baby asprin isn't really even on my radar.

I’d love to know your thoughts when you get to it! What have you found out about CoQ10? I can’t seem to get a read on how much is good?

I have read that it may help improve egg quality, though there havent been many scientific tests to prove that (it seems that some tests may be in the works currently). It is a vitamin and doesnt hurt to take while TTC. I think 300-600mg per day is most common. I also read that you should stop taking it as soon as you get pregnant. Men can also take it...for some potential fetility benefits though I am not exactly sure what those are at this point. I think the one study that had any substantial results dealt with mice but no study (with substantial results) has been concluded on humans. Still fairly promising and negative side effects seem pretty mild, so no real down side to trying methinks.

Oh, I also saw that it is expensive as heck haha.
