The Natural Fertility Community

My husband and I have been trying to start our family but it is not happening! Before we got married I had regular periods and I would get them around the same time every month. Then I got married and it went all crazy. We have been married for almost two years and since the beginning we have been trying to conceive but that never happens. We became vegans in December 2009 hoping that changing our eating habits would cause a positive effect in our trying to have a baby. I found your website and your forum in my desperate search for natural things, because I don't want want to take chemical meds that will only make my body worse, and I bought the Baby and Me multi-vitamin, VItex, DIM, Maca, Primerose Oil and pretty much I am cleansing myself with these things. I have been drinking these things for almost 2 weeks, my period started on Jan. 22, 2010 and ended 10 days later, but its started again yesterday Feb. 13th! I don't know if I even ovulated- I never noticed my cervical mucus being stretchy or having any other characteristics that would imply that I am ovulating. On Feb.11th I started having dark brown discharge as well as on the 12th. On the 13th I have red blood every time I wiped and today, Feb. 14th it looks to me like a period but there is also mucus and it is really stretchy. So my question is, am I ovulating but at the same time cleansing or is it just my period and my hormones are just really out of sync. Help please!!!!!!!!

Hi Brigi21,

It is difficult to answer your questions based on what little information was given. Have you considered a Natural Fertility Consultation? This may help us serve you better.

Are you taking all of these supplements at the correct time in your cycle? Do you chart your cycle?

All of these supplements are useful for working toward hormonal balance, but they are not designed to "cleanse" your body. The Fertility Cleanse Kit may be a better option for this.
