Herbs?

[wanting4#1]

Does anybody take herbs (like **** Quai or Chaste Tree Berry)?

Hi,

I am sorry to hear about your babies...I guess nobody is really happy in this world with whatever they r like or whatever tehy experience...

Anyway i take herbs I only take fenugreek for my phlegm (working great), and flaxseed oil for muscle fibres and stuff.
Might try thyme or marshmallow...dunno......I hate medicine and try to avoid them.....herbs rule.

Regards,
FWK

I dont, i heard that u shouldnt take chaste berry while u are on fertility pills like clomid, they do the same job apparently and they will counter effect each other. u can only take it if you want to try ad ovulate using natural methods. so its either chaste berry (vitex) or clomid, some women ovulated on vitex alone but i have no experience. I would say whatever u want to use check with your doctor cause some herbs clash with medication.

I posted this last year - I currently take Fertility Blend; FertileCM; DHA; Armour Thyroid and DHEA.  They seem to be working for me - hopefully I will get my BFP soon! :)

Thanks!

wanting4#1 - I was thinking about trying FertilAid (similar to Fertility Blend) and possibly Fertile CM.  My cycles are pretty short on their own and I've always been worried about the quality of my O as well as my luteal phase.  What positive changes have you seen, if you don't mind me asking?  Also, does your doctor say it's OK to take them throughout your cycle?  I've seen where some of the herbs should be stopped once your pregnant, so I didn't know if you should also stop them during the TWW.  Thanks!  All the best to you!

Both of these (Fertility Blend and FertileCM should be stopped once a pregnancy is confirmed -- hpt or beta) but no harm has been found to date regarding them.  After starting the FertileCM, I had the BEST cervical mucus that I have had since stopping all meds!  Not only did I have good quality, but one day, I had it all day!  That has NEVER happened!  

My OB recommended both of these to me, as did my acupuncturist, so I am pretty confident in them!  

If I don't get my BFP this month, I also have to think that they are helping my hormones since this is the first month that I have had swollen and tender bbs; no Pre-AF symptoms (although I might be cramping a bit now - it's hard to tell, so it's not like they are very bad) and no weepiness!
