My plan says 500-1000mg. DH is taking 2x400mg a day in one go.

Pbn3, DH took 2 of those exact tablets a day but that was after I got my BFP because he wasn't at all keen on the taste of the liquid form (exact same brand) but I had read somewhere (can't remember where and probably not to be read into) that the liquid form was better. That was to be 15ml's a day but I measured it out and would usually pour 20ml's and listen to him complain each time that I'd poured too much :-))) Had to up the ante as much as I could because we were going HT and it's not cheap doing so from here so I/we were giving it our all. DH was a star and took it religiously every single day, without fail once.

Who knows if it worked, but I'm having a girl (oops baby), 2 scans and Panorama test confirmed, but I still can't bring myself to shop for pink! I will muster up the couage to do so.....eventually!

I just checked my plan again and said to follow label for wet ole 500-1000mg for dry. Darn it lol! Guess I'll be doing a trip back to chemist today

Hi Aussiesmiler! Dh has said he would not like the liquid one at all and doesn't really want to try it. I'm just happy he's on board so will try to find the lower dose tablets. Gee I'm glad this was brought up I never really thought to look just grabbed the bottle off the shelf and away I went congrats again on your girl and done with an oops lol it really must have meant to be!!!

I'm just glad you asked the question!!! Didn't even give it a thought when I bought them and only checked (properly) after I seen your post

Funnily enough DH liked it to start with but after about a month I think he was a little over it because it is quite strong, although I've had a sip and found it to be fine but possibly would feel the same way too 3mths down the track. There are soooooo many to choose from at Chemist Warehouse that I think in stood there looking at bottles and dosage until I was cross eyed!

Thank you :-)) and everything crossed for you and everyone on here!!

Hi covered in blue. Are you in Australia? I went to the chemist earlier and could not find ole in any smaller doses than 2400mg per tablet. Am going to try a larger chemist tomorrow just wondering what brand you have and where you got it from? Thank you!

I've seen some, mostly HT ladies, mention taking higher doses of OLE though they didn't specify. The thing about plant extracts is they come in different concentrations/strengths so a super concentrated 500mg capsule may contain as much or more active compounds than a not so concentrated 3000mg capsule. I'd just buy a reputable brand and take the max dose recommended on the bottle. So no need to return!

Thanks Maiden! I'll have dh finish this bottle and see what I can get for next one when the time comes
