Edit: I am not pregnant - prepping TTC

Not asking for medical advice, just curious if there is a pattern. I am taking about 16 pills each day and I am afraid they might be causing some significant digestion issues. Yes, I have been taking them with meals. I take the bulk of them at lunch and the other half of the CoQ10 pills after dinner.

My current regime:

Jarrow CoQ10 (600 mg) - 6 pills
NatureMade Prenatal - 1 pill
Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA - 2 pills
NatureMade Vitamin D3 (4,000 IU) -2 pills
NatureMade Choline (800 mg) - 3 pills
Jarrow B12 (2,000 mcg) - 2 pills

If I had to cut any out it would be the choline and I would just eat three eggs each day.

Super frustrating because I am so paranoid after experiencing a loss and I really want this next pregnancy to go smoothly.

Anyway, I have an appt with my PCP tomorrow to see if I can get some relief. The acid reflux has been so intense that I haven’t been able to sleep the last couple of nights.

Anyone else have a similar issue with any of the supplements above?

Coming up on 1 year post TFMR and I am definitely feeling a bunch of emotions. We honored our little boy’s due date by watching the sunrise on the beach, exchanging words and prayers, and we sealed his urn shut. I am wondering what others do on the TFMR anniversary. Definitely will light a candle and say some words and a prayer. I know it’s okay to even just sit in silence, but I want to do something more. I can’t believe it’s almost been a year.

Visiting for the first time during Labor Day weekend. Need recommendations for:

Best seafood restaurants on the water? (prefer more of a dive/rustic feel versus upscale)

Best places to explore + shop?

Thank you in advance😊

Need recommendations for nontoxic mosquito repellent for my lab - the mosquitos are so bad where I live.

He is on flea and tick prevention (Simparica Trio) but to my knowledge this does not protect him against mosquitos.

Thank you!🐾

9 months post TFMR and while there have been more lighter moments, I still find myself extremely angry (especially with how healthcare for women in the US is treated - def don’t really feel like celebrating the 4th of July) and also my faith has almost fully diminished…and this makes me sad because I used to be such a believer. Really struggling this week.

I feel like it’s never going to be better. There are days like today I feel so alone…and I am SO thankful for this community because I know that’s not the case.

I can’t seem to get a straight answer regarding the benefits and how much to take - especially for someone that is of AMA and had to TFMR.

I have been taking the Perelel Fertility+Support and Conception Support Pack since Nov 2025 (our loss was in Sept 2025). My supplements total 150 mg of CoQ10 but I am not confident that this is enough. My husband is taking the Men’s Perelel Multi Support Pack which includes 50 mg of CoQ10.

I was at Costco this weekend and saw that NatureMade is selling 200 mg and 400 mg of CoQ10. 400 mg seems excessive on top of what I am already taking, but I almost went home with the 200 mg and thought that I need to do a little more research (hence why I am here).

I have started reading “It Starts With the Egg” and tbh I find it a bit overwhelming. I am going to continue reading through it, but some of the feedback is impractical unless you want to live in a bubble imo. I will say that in our household we are trying to do our best to switch to nontoxic items and eat quite healthy - organic when we can, whole foods, etc. But that’s another topic for discussion.

Back to CoQ10 - how old are you and how much are you taking? What are your thoughts on CoQ10? It seems like medical professionals aka my MFM that we recently met with didn’t have a whole lot to say about it. The same with Folate/Folic Acid. She seems to lean on more of the conservative side of just eating healthy and low intense workouts.

Editing to add: Going to TTC again naturally

So now I am low key kind of freaked out about coffee makers and microplastics…however we have a Keurig and love it…are there ANY coffee makers out there that are convenient when you’re on the go that are non-toxic? Maybe a reusable stainless steel K-Cup is the way to go?

Hi - I am in desperate need of super supportive sports bras for running…ladies who are more on the larger side understand. Does anyone have any good recommendations without breaking the bank?

Hi! I just saw a really neat stair idea when voting during the Design Festival today and I was moving too quickly to take a picture🥲 tried to figure out if there was a way to backtrack. Anywho, it involved a trail and gravel path. I tried to replicate based on memory and it did not give the same effect.

If know what I’m talking about could you please kindly share a snapshot of your stairs?

Also would love to see other stair ideas too!

Tysm😊
