Pregnancy Info HOME

I've read information regarding soy on different websites and I didn't really find anything that really stated that it was good to take ttc. If anything it seemed to do the opposite.

has anyone heard of Fertility Blend for woman and would you reccommend it over taking vitex alone?

I too heard of Wild Yam, but I had no way of obtaining it. True yams, not the sweet potatoes we usually call Yams, aren't commonly sold in stores, and as I understood it they had to be fresh, not dried. I ended up pregnant 2 months later so didn't research it further. From what little I read, they did basically the same thing Vitex does.

Fertility blend is a bunch of herbs together, like the ones I am taking. Vitex, red raspberry and evening primrose oil. Probably other things too. I haven't heard anyone say they liked it better, but they may not be posting anymore if they are pregnant!! = )

Can antone give an update and advice on the red rasberry leaf? I am still taking the vitex and good news- my cramps have gotten alot easier to deal with and i am getting more regular! i'm not at a every 30 ar so day cycle yet but I'm getting there. I am at 38 days so far but each month i have gotten closer and closer! I am thinking of starting the rrl soon but would like to hear from everyone's experience first.

I am taking rrl, vitex and evening primrose oil. The vitex and epo are only taken from af to O so I have been doing the rrl the same why, because really, why over-complicate. But I really like it!!! I see no harm in getting started!

I'm definately NOT TTC twins - I just want one baby but I am taking some herbs to help me out. I've only been taking them for a month and I think they take awhile to get into the system. I'm taking prenatal, baby asprin, B6, B-50 complex, red raspberry leaf, lecithin, and acidophilus - everyday. AF - O - evening primrose oil, and vitex. End of AF - O - Musinex and Dong Quai. After O until AF Flax seed oil. Hopefully it'll happen this month!

Wow! Am I doing this wrong? So do you think I should take the vitex af to O? Of course that is a__suming I am? Mabye I should try to chart or something. I was just trying to get shorter cycles then worry about that. What do you all think?

RM - I got my "fertility recipe" at this site. http://womens-place.com/ttc/vitex.php I got a lot of info on these sites: http://www.alternativehealth.co.nz/vitamins/Herbs%20infertility.htm http://www.fertilinet.com/naturalsolutions.htm I highly suggest charting and buying the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

Thanks Shelly, I will try that book and thanks for the sites!

rm - I second that book! It's wonderful. I found it at my library and you might consider looking there first. It's a quick read (at least I thought so) because it's so interesting. I've learned things in that book that I'm embarra__sed that I knew nothing about. There's also a website www.tcoyf.com that you might want to look at too. It has some information that's in the book. Good luck.

Glad the sun has risen, Megan!! = ) Well, my temps are really low at the moment so I think that puts me out of the running this month. Well, as soon as af arrives I'll be back on the herbs to get me ready to go!! Praying for BFP's for all of us!!

That is very true. Not directed at you! Well, my cycles keep getting shorter and shorter. I'm down to about 23 days. I've had enough with this c___p, I'm making a dr's appt and finding out what's going on. How is everyone else doing?

I wanted to see if anyone knows what to take after a loss? I feel that my hormones are totally out of wack. It has been almost three weeks since my d and c and I am still bleeding brown and testing a faint positive on hpt's. Do you think the vitex could help balance me out? When is the bleeding gonna stop? When I start charting again what do I mark as day 1? I honestly can't believe that I have to start this whole process over.

I wouldn't take anything till you get a normal cycle on your own.. Your body has been through a huge hormonal roller-coaster and messing with that further before it gets a chance to normalize may be a bad thing. Ask your doc, of course. I've never had a D&C.

I would agree with that. I would think a D&C would be pretty traumatic to the uterus and cervix, I would give them the chance to heal and go back to normal. My test results (blood and all that female jazz) should be back in a few days, then we will see where things are with us. I hope everyone is doing well, I'll keep y'all posted.
