Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello ~ I am trying to get all the info I can about natural things I can take to help me concieve. Can any of you give me any advice such as what to take, how much to take and when to take it? I would reallllly appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Hello Amy X, I tried Vitex and it didn't agree with me, but my understanding is that you take herbal fertility supplements from O to AF and follow the directions on the bottle. The only thing I still take is Soy, once a day before bedtime, and I drink rooibos tea whenever the mood strikes me! The soy agrees with me well, and can cause headaches, although if you are the least bit dehydrated they are more likely. I hope that helps! Blessings and baby dust!

HI

Ah HA!! I've been having computer issues and my Axtive-X controlls were all messed up so I haven't been able to load from this site FOREVER!! DH just messed with the laptop for an hour and VOILA!! I can post! Anyway... HI everyone!

Hi guys - to be honest I just stumbled across this forum when searching for the connection between asprin and ovulation and I saw that someone asked something about Wild Yam: I just read something that said that it worked liked Vitex in that it regulates your cycle but it also thought to act as a natural contraceptive. Whether this is true or not I don't know but just pa__sing on what I came across. However, I am starting to think that i am also suffering from a case of information overload as there seems to be contradictory information everywhere! From my experience I have found that Vitex has helped to regulate me back to a 28 cycle , which is what I was on before taking the contraceptive pill. I have been off the CP 4 months now and TTC and since starting Vitext 2 months ago ( one pill a day from day 1 - 14) and evening primrose oil (300 mg from day 1 to 14) I feel the difference. My moods have stabilised, PM b___st tenderness has all but disappeared and my skin looks great! I have been charting my BBT and can pretty much determine when ovulation day is (it will be in a day or two) but now I am worried as I just read that asprin in large doses can inhibit ovulation and yesterday I took two adult asprin for a headache! see what I mean about two much information!

Hey ladies! Mama-beans, so lovely to hear from you!! I am only on the soy, because from O to AF I have progesterone. Cycles too short! Nicky, I take baby aspirin. I think that is the aspirin you're supposed to take, but not 100% sure. I take it because it's good for my skin. How is everybody?

Hi Frances, Hi Mama-Beans! Sorry I haven't been around but I just wanted you guys to know that I finally got my BFP today!!!! I'm hoping it's a sticky bean. I didn't use soy this month but have been taking vitex for almost 6 weeks and using OTC progesterone cream. Woohoo!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN!!!!

Hi, I want to ttc in May hopefully ... I heard that folic acid, primrose oil, and soy increase the chance of twins (and they're natural) ... af started on april 10th and left as usual and I am sure I am not pregnant because we have been using protection (because I want to try this folic acid and primrose thing) ... andyway .. so I have been taking folic acid tablets, primrose oil capsules, and prenatal vitamins that have B6 200mg in them which i heard is also good for fertility .. I have been taking these for a couple of days now .. I am having very wierd symptoms ..I have headaches and i feel naucous (sp?) and i have hot flashes .. my energy is also drained and i feel very tired all day long .. could this be from the folic acid or primrose oil or prenatal vitamins? ........ or is it something else?

hi yes i heard that too taking a high dose of folic acid increases chances of twins even heard of cases on the board a long time ago but im not sure how true it is, smart stork have some info and they mentinoned taking 800mg upto 3g of folic acid over a period of time, also green tea helps increase fertility nd raspberry leaf tea, drinking lots of water and a healthy diet,reflexology ,and epsom bath salts i heard stimulate the ovraries not sure how true it is but its worth a try if it dont work its still relaxing.so maybe if your very healthy who knows you might release two eggs but theres no gurantee.Better than clomid for women who are fertile. mybe you can join smart stork it is quite expensive.very important to have healthy diet so if you do concieve twins your body can cope.I heard about primrose oil is not good to to take after ovulation dont remember why. I hope i have been somewhat helpful.

yes thanks ... I know that primrose oil shoudl be taken up to ovulation only and not after ... what i am fearing is maybe the folid acid is giving me these symptoms .. :(

anyone???? please give me an answer :(

I wanted to ask Shelly if she got pregnant with the fertility blend she was using??? thanks!!

hello ... i am using some wild yam root suppliments and i wonder if i shoudl be taking them after O or before O?

I have just read that if can't take Chasteberry if you are nursing as well as being pregnant.
