Fertility

I have been trying to balance my hormones via herbs and supplements.  I also have a well balanced diet along w/ 30 minutes of exercise a day.  My problem is now that I am doing all these good things, my cycles have become unpredictable.  Prior to trying to become pregnant I had a perfect 30 day cycle and my period was predictable down to the hour.  I started using vitex, wild yam and increased B vitamins and then my first cycle was 36 days and now this cycle i had midcycle bleeding????  What could be happening??

well i guess it was worth it, i am not pregnant.  this is what happened last time i was using vitex and wild yam...after one month of usage i became pregnant.  next to the miracle of the whole thing i do have to say i beleive they are big helps in the hormone dept..:)

I am a firm believer that a person with a balanced and elementally harmonious diet does not need supplements.  Too much yam (or anything) could affect the body's balance.  I suggest seeing a licensed acupuncturist for dietary and herbal advice that is tailored to YOUR specific needs.

could be the vitex and yam, depending on your age, etc.
i would suggest using comprehensive multi-vitamin/mineral formula,
and dropping those two and see what happens.
