FSH Rising? This Protocol REVERSES Ovarian Aging in 12 Weeks
Code to Conception
Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window

🔬 Pre-Bump Biology
Can you really reverse ovarian aging in 12 weeks? The truth: you can’t turn back the clock—but you can upgrade egg and sperm competence in a single gametogenesis cycle. Studies show that targeted antioxidant-mitochondrial support, circadian repair, and phenotype-specific add-ons (like inositol for PCOS or DHEA in select cases) boost embryo quality and reduce IVF cycle cancellations.
🧬 Protocol Drop
Today’s 1-Step Protocol:
Take CoQ10 (ubiquinone or ubiquinol) 600 mg/day, split into 200 mg with each meal, for 12 weeks before conception attempts or ART. In women with diminished ovarian reserve, this dropped IVF transfer cancellations from 22.9% → 8.3% and quadrupled embryo cryo-availability.

Oocyte competence: The ability of an egg to mature, fertilize, and support early embryo development. It’s not just about egg count—competence reflects mitochondrial energy, DNA integrity, and the surrounding follicular environment. Higher competence means better odds of conception and live birth.
