Who's on Fertilaid??

I have irregular cycles and wanted to try Fertilaid...I called my OB's office yesterday and told the nurse i wanted to try something to regulate my cycles and that I wanted to know what they thought...
She said shes never heard of it, and to stay on the prenatals I am on- that was it.
So A.) I wanted to know if your OB's have suggested it or know of it?
B) Frustated with my OB's office and dont know what direction to go to find a new OB :(

Did it take long for you to get a BFP on Metformin?
My friend told me I should talk to my OB about it, I took Fertilaid for 3 months & finally got my monthly AF in June after having 2x AF each month for about 1.5 years.
Looking into everything. (:

Hi was reading your comment, I know everyone is different , this is my case, i have PCOS, my ovaries are blocked, so therefore I am not ovulating or have AF. I was on meds to help me O, because I was TTC,   I was wondering if that would work for me, I am still taking metformin the doc gave me to help regulate my hormones and stuff to see if that would work, I tried Fertilaid last year and I did have a AF for the mth I took it...where did you buy your Vitex and what mg are you taking for a day??  I am thinking I should give it a shot to see if my menses go back to some what normal...   I am tired of using all these meds and hoping to try something less stressful on my body..who knows maybe these herbs might actually be what I need!!!
thanks...

The Vitex works for me I am still waiting for a BFP but my cycles are normal its only a matter of time now. I am saying if you want a normal cycle you start with Vitex and you will see the difference right away. I am taking them 3 x a day then after 8 weeks I took them two times a day now am down to once a day as for what the bottle says.
and I get mine online at GNC and its only 7$ thats awesome.. no side effect or nothing.
Am Ov on CD 11-12 and thats awesome my cycles are 23-24 now thats a amazing to me since I would go months with out AF at all.

Try it and see it works.. and is even better for those with PCOS. I have PCOS.

Sorry it took so long to respond.  Yes, Yaz is a birth control.

I bought some FertilAid but haven't started it yet. It also has vitex in it so if that's the key ingredient,  has it too. So hope it works for us too.

I wanted to add that I had irregular and very long cycles. I don't even think I was ovulating till I started taking the Vitex.

Doctors probably won't talk to you much about alternative therapies like herbal supplements and what not. I know mine didn't! I took Vitex (Chastberry) to help regulate my cycles. I also started acupuncture to help balance things out. I tried on my own to conceive for about 8 months before starting the Vitex. I really saw immediate changes when I started taking it. I started the acupuncture a few weeks after the vitex. 6 weeks into my acupuncture treatment my acupuncturist told me I needed to take a HPT because she was feeling that I was pregnant. Sure enough...I was :) So, if you are looking for something less invasive than drugs you might consider trying the Vitex and/or acupuncture. Some insurance will cover it and some won't. To me it was worth the money to try it. I'm so glad I did. I was kicking myself for not going sooner. I have continued to see the acupuncturist once a month during my pregnancy. I have had no morning sickness and in general...I feel really good.ed

I have heard of Fertilaid. I don't know of anyone personally that has used it though. Read up on Vitex and see what you think of that. It won't hurt anything to try it.

I was an irregular too,, i tried a lot of stuff and prenatal vitamins are not going to regulate your period.. My Ob gave me METFORMIN which is a medication for diabetes even though i dont have diabetes it is also to regulate ur period.. That helped for me and I now have periods every month...At this time i am pregnant but it really regulated my period. you should ask your ob about...

My gyn put me on Yaz to get rid of my cysts on my ovaries and regulate my cycles.. I don't know anything about fertilaid.
I would probably research other OBs because I don't think prenatals can regulate a cycle, and plus I think they should be much more responsive to questions. They should have at least said they would look into it.  good luck!!! :)
