The Natural Fertility Community

Hi ladies!
I'm not sure if there's a way to do a "poll" but I'm curious to learn what supplements everyone is taking? For how long? What dosage? Any improvements/differences noted?

I've mentioned in other posts...but I'm taking EPO (NOW brand Super Primrose) 1300 mg in morning and evening, and Vitex (Nature's Answer brand - liquid form) 1000 mg in morning and evening. I take both until ovulation then start on progesterone. Last month I did sublingual progesterone (APEX brand) 6 mg morning and evening from ovulation to menstruation, but this month I have a creme...not sure what the dosage is...I think 20 mg.

Anyways, hope to hear how everyone's doing!

Love and Light,
Jess

HI there! I'm not taking anything as of yet. I just finished a chinese herbal cleanse from nature's sunshine. I plan on doing the fertility cleanse and then the pregnancy prep kit along with the smoothies.

I am ordering pregnancy prep, so hope to be taking that soon. I take a prenatal vitamin, amazing grass or spirulina in smoothies, royal jelly in smoothies, maca in smoothies. I take whatever the bottle tells me. I also take liquid fish oil or add udo's oil to my smoothies.

Hi Mommylion,
I am currently taking the FertilAid supplement,FertileCM (3x's a day),Maca powder smoothies( once a day) and Jia Wei Xei Yao Wan herb that my acupuncturist start me on ( 5 capsules twice a day). I have been seeing the acupuncturist for 7 weeks now and also incorporated fertlity yoga no less than twice a week.

i'm doing the fertility cleanse, maca, castor oil packs & the zymessense. ~ looking forward to concieving in September!

Im on Nature's answer Vitex 400 mg capsules 3 times a day, dong quai NOW foods brand capsules 3 times a day with 2 capsules at a time, I'm also doing castor oil packs 1 hour a day 5 days a week. Ive been taking vitex and dong quai for 4 months and no results. However, the castor oil packs have given me some twinges/cramps around my lower abdomen. Oh and I just started taking Nature's answer Milk Thistle extract 2,000 mg 3 times a day. I want to do the fertility cleanse too-I've just recently about 2 months ago changed my milk from regular to organic rice milk, and all my meat to hormone free, we have our own chickens to lay organic eggs, the only thing I dont take organically is cheese..which I should start.

Hi, I think it is a great idea to ask tis question of people. I take maca powder every morning in my oatmeal for 2 months now. About 3 weeks ago i began taking EPO and vitex. My cycles are very regular between 29-30 days every month, but my ovulation comes very late (around day 20). I am hoping the vitex helps with that. Also, after my BBT spike, my temps do not saty risen, so I want to use progesterone cream until my period. And, my temps are sort of all over the place all month anyway. Although I *think* I ovulated 2 days ago, I am afraid to use the progest cream b/c I also heard it supporesses ovulation if you take it too soon. I did stop the EPo, though, because you should only take that at the beginning of the cycle.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd share what I've been taking.....I take a tinture of Dong Quoi, vitex, & a blend called Growing Jade, in the morning before i eat, then with food I take a prenatal, EFA's, maca, royal jelly, spirulina, and Bee Pollen. It seems like alot, but so far I've gone from a 72 (the longest cycle) to 44, 32, 28 and so on. Hopefully it will continue to do well!

All the best to everyone!

I am currently taking pregnancy prep, drinking green tea and taking a whole food daily multi-vitamin. I have been taking these supplements for about 2 1/2 weeks along with a vitamin D supplement.

The most efficient herb I know is Common Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) also known as "love plant" in my country (Romania). It has made many couples very happy.

Its properties are similar to those of ginseng, but more powerful. Hogweed is ideal as a female aphrodisiac. It stimulates ovarian activity, favors vaginal and uterine muscle relaxation through its antispastic effect, has a very interesting effect of reducing anxiety, simultaneously with increasing desire and regulates menstruation.
