This list shares the key supplements I took to support my fertility and conceive naturally at 41.
With so much negativity around TTC over 40, I want to offer hope and insight into the nutrients that helped me on my journey.
While every body is different, these supplements are known to support egg quality, hormone balance, and overall reproductive health.
I carefully researched, worked with my health care providers, and selected each supplement to optimize my chances.
I focused on antioxidants, essential vitamins, and natural compounds that promote conception.
We are all unique, so please talk to your healthcare provider to determine what is right for you!
My goal is to empower other women with knowledge and encouragement, proving that pregnancy after 35 and beyond is absolutely possible!
✔ CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) – Boosts egg quality & mitochondrial function
✔ PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) – Works with CoQ10 to enhance mitochondrial function
✔ Acai Berry – Antioxidant-rich for egg protection
✔ Prenatal Vitamin – Essential nutrients for conception & pregnancy (with Methylfolate NOT Folic Acid
✔ Omega-3 (DHA & EPA) – Reduces inflammation & supports hormone balance
✔ Myo-Inositol – Improves egg quality, especially for PCOS/insulin resistance

✔ NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) – Antioxidant that supports egg quality & reduces inflammation
✔ Melatonin (Low Dose, 2-3mg if advised by doctor) – May improve egg & embryo quality

✔ Low-Dose Aspirin (81mg, only if recommended by your doctor or health care professional) – May improve blood flow to the uterus & help with implantation; I took this as part of the trifecta recommended by my OBGYN: 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily and consuming dairy products – see more detail in my post about low dose Aspirin & Fertility here
✔ Iron – helps with iron deficiency; see important fertility blood tests
✔ Vitamin C – Helps iron absorption and naturally boosts progesterone
