Ok so I have a few questions before begining the cleanse...

1-I have an extremely sensitive system and sometimes if my hormones are messed with I will start my period..So if I begin this cleanse and begin my period at some point before the regular 25 day cycle what should I do? Do I continue the cleanse or stop immediately.

2-Is it ok to exercise while cleansing? I know that this can decrease the circulation to the uterus as the blood focuses on the other systems while exercising.

3-If I don't get my period and all goes well...I normally spot brownish CM about 4 days before my period begins so should I continue to cleanse while this happens and stop when it turns to red?

4-Finally, should I start the multivitamin "baby and me" when I begin the cleanse?

I appreciate any help anyone can give me on these questions. I just worry about how sensitive my system is to everything and know that something crazy might come up and want to be sure that I won't be harmed.

Thanks,

TIffany

Hi there Tiffany, while I'm no pro like Hethir and Dalene, I have been asking questions and reading questions from others on this site for about 2 months now and have even asked some of these same questions myself.

1- If your mense comes on while cleansing you would stop cleansing and resume once it goes off.

2- Yes it's ok to exercise while cleansing as it'll aide in detoxification of the body.

3- Don't know- good question.

4- Yes, you can take the Baby & Me multivitamin while cleansing.

Hope that helps. Try looking through the different topics and questions and that'll help you out a lot. Hethir and Dalene, please correct my mistakes if there are any.

Thanks for the help Michelle..I am glad I can exercize and take the multi vitamin.

My experience with herbs wasn't a great one.. I tried Evening Primrose Oil up until Ovulation (that is what the directions said to do) and as soon as I stopped taking it I started spotting and then AF was around for almost 3 weeks!! YIKES! That was a rough cycle. That is where my concern comes from.

Now I am worried about the time frame if I do 'start' in the middle. I am on a ttc break but hubby is anxious to get PG and I know that it is going to be disappointing to have to take a "real break" for a whole month but we have discussed it and he is ok with it, but if I have to stop in the middle and start again, that takes it to two months-I guess 2 months is not too much considering how long we have been ttc.

So, do I start all over with the cleanse if this happens or do I pick up where I left off? I guess that would be my main concern.

Thanks again for any input!

Tiffany, great questions.

Michelle, great answers!

To answer #3 - Continue the Fertility Cleanse until your period (full flow) begins. If you period starts a little early, just begin where you left off as soon as menstruation has stopped.

Great thanks for the help...I hope that I get it tomorrow because AF is about to leave and this would be perfect timing! I am excited to see if this will really help.
