Hi Dalene,

I am 36 1/2 yrs old, my husband and I have been trying for 5 1/2 yrs to no avail. I was diagnosed almost 2 yrs ago with POF but I don't want to give up. My periods were normal before going on BCP, but have been next to nothing since getting off of it 5 1/2 yrs ago. It comes and goes but is very scant . I can't remember the last time i had one that was "normal". The last bit I had was in August and it was just a bit of spotting. I did the fertility cleanse kit and now I am trying to improve my egg health. I eat healthy, try to excercise. I am now taking 2000mg Maca, 1000mg royal jelly, 1tsp bee pollen, whole food multi, 1200mg EFA, 1000mg L-arginine, 100mg Coenz q10, and the fertility smoothies, oh and I almost forgot, dong quai tincture (the amount on the bottle in H2O 2x day) and Vitex tincture ( the same). I was seeing an acupuncturist for a little over a year, but I had to stop due to financial reasons.

Thanks in advance for any advice I really appreciate it.

Hi Lisa,

There are so many abbreviations out there, could you please spell out POF please. Polycystic Ovarian Failure?

How long have you been taking all of these supplements?

Hi Dalene,

Sorry, POF is for Premature Ovarian Failure. I have been taking the ones for egg health since October. Maca & vitex I've haven't been as consistent in the beginning but now I am consistent, in total 8-9 months. I just started with the whole food multi a couple of months ago as well as the Dong Quai. Bee pollen & Royal Jelly for 5 or 6 months. I am certainly feeling much better then I did in the very beginning. I am trying to do the fertility massage when I can. Hopefully I didn't forget anything!

Hello Dalene, yeah that's right, you should not give up.I know God had a better plan for you and for your husband. It is only right for you to eat healthy and have a daily exercise because our body really needs it. The only thing you must so now is, to wait and pray. Follow all your treatments and do what the doctor said to you.
