Hi Lataya,

If you are only spotting or have hints that you may begin your period, you may continue on with the Fertility Cleanse. The progesterone cream is best started after the Fertility Cleanse is over.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Danielle,

It is fine to begin to try to conceive the cycle after the Fertility Cleanse. Many of the toxins should be cleansed from the body, though some may remain. This is normal because we are exposed daily to environmental toxins. If you are concerned be sure you are supporting your body in full detoxification during the Fertility Cleanse by sweating and drinking plenty of water during the cleansing phase. This is essential to complete removal of toxins/excess hormones. Consider sauna, hot baths, aerobic exercise. Drink plenty of clean water.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

I have PCOS and have not had a bleed since taking prescribed med back in Feb 2011. I was taking metphormin which has never helped to regulated my menstrual only makes me nausea.

I started the fertility cleanse on Jan 7 and on Jan 8 I started to see only slight trace of pink after using the bathroom and wiping. I have not actually spotted only see when I go to the bathroom and wipe. I did not stop the cleanse and the signs on my menstrual have not occurred everyday (not seen on tissue after wiping) however after a week, Jan 14 I see signs of it again. I continued with the cleanse but worried that I may should have stopped due to the signs of my menstrual. I don’t think my cycle is considered “on” since I have not had to wear anything for spotting or flow.

Also, I am pass day 8 but can I start using progesterone cream with the cleanse?

Hi Miranda,

I am wondering why your ovary health is so poor if you only have mild endometriosis. Do you have other fertility issues that may have caused this? If you have not read our article on understanding endometriosis, and what natural remedies are best for that condition, you can do so here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/endometriosis

The Fertility Cleanse in general is a great way for anyone who is experiencing fertility challenges to create a foundation for hormonal balance and a healthy uterus for implantation. Fertility Cleansing creates a “clean slate” within the body that helps the body to respond and utilize other natural remedies better. It is difficult for me to answer your questions based on just a small piece of the bigger picture of your health. It is helpful for me to know your lifestyle, health history, fertility challenges and detailed questions. Please consider a consultation.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

I have undergone unsuccessfully 3 cycles of injectable IUIs (Follistim and Ganarelix). I want to try the cleanse to clean out all the medications I have put in my body. I know that you shouldn’t try to conceive while on the cleanse due to the possibility of passing on the toxins to the growing baby. But is it still safe to try to conceive right after the cleanse is over (i.e. the next cycle)? Are there remaining toxins in the body that need time to pass through before trying to conceive?

Hi my name is Miranda and I was searching the web and came across your site. Im 20 yrs old and my husband of almost 2 yrs is 24. We have been trying to have a baby. I was having extremely painful periods, so I went to the Dr and had surgery, my Dr said I had a very MILD case of endometosis (he burned it off), and 1 very healthy ovary but 1 very “ugly” ovary as he called it. He said if I was 34 and already had a few kids he would of removed the bad ovary while in surgrey but bc of my age,etc, he didnt. Anyway sorry this is so long! But Im looking into the cleanse kit and Im wandering if its for me. Since my surgery my periods are near as painful, but Im having VERY LONG cycles.. Ive been up to 61 days before! Its been crazy! Its been 35-61 day cycles and every month is so different. Im wandering why. And when trying to have a baby, the long cyles throw everything off. Ive taken the $ tree test and when I get a postive one we BD but nothing so far.. Do you think the cleanse kit is what I need? Any advice or info would be very appreciated!! Thanks so much:)
Oh, and in 3 months it will be 1 yr since my surgrey.. Thanks!

Hi T,
The cleanse is a first step, on it’s own it will not clear the endo. The Fertility Cleanse helps the body to get id of excess hormones and support the liver. This is a great and necessary first step but additional steps will need to be taken. You can learn more about FSH here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/fsh-fertility.html . But you need to realize there is an underlying issue here. We can segment it into ‘Endo’ or ‘high fsh’ but both of those labels are symptoms from something deeper happening in the body. They are a result, not the cause. For the best results I would suggest book an email fertility consultation so time can be taken looking at your health history, diet, menstrual/fertility cycle, etc. and suggestions based on your personal situation can be made.

Brittney,
It is hard to say how long it will take to get your period back. You are young so it may happen quicker for you, but don’t be discouraged if it takes some time. The body has to not only cleanse the excess hormones but it also has to get back on track. There are so many aspects to the monthly menstrual/fertility cycle, it is very complex. Think of it as an orchestra, it will take some time for everyone to get back in-tune. Also making sure you are eating an optimal diet (see our fertility diet info) will help things along as well.
After completing the cleanse you may want to continue the liver products (liver caps or milk thistle tinct. and tea) for at least 3 months and add Vitex as well until things are back to balance.

I am seriously looking into purchasing the fertility cleanse kit soon. I am on the birth control Depo Provera. I have had 3 shots so far (9 months on Depo) and I just had my last shot on Dec. 3 2011. As you may notice I recently decided that this is not the thing for me due to all the horrible symptoms that I have encountered and just being on synthetic birth controls are really bad for the body. I am 22 years old now and want to have a family soon. That is another reason why I stopped because I hear it takes FOREVER to get pregnant after coming off the shot. Before I went on Depo, I have had a regular period, but now my periods are just spotting and a lot longer to come. My 4th shot, which I am not going to go, is due in Feb. 25 2012 and that will be the mark when I will start the cleanse, do you know how long after that day will I get a normal period back?? I really want to get to my “normal” self again asap.

I have been TTC for 4 years now. I have endo as well as high FSH levels. I had a ectopic pregnancy a few years back which resulted in my right tube being removed. I am 37 years old and feel that time is not on my side, but I would like to keep trying for a bit longer. I am pretty sure my endo has come back and am wondering if this cleanse will help with endo as well as what you would suggest for high FSH levels.

Thanks so much!
T

We do not recommend trying to conceive while you are cleansing, but intercourse at other times besides your fertile time would be fine.

I have had two miscarriages in the past 6 months. We are seeing a specialist who wants to put me on birth control pills for 1 month to make sure we do not conceive while we are having a work up done. Can I do the fertility cleanse while taking the pill.

Thanks in advance for your response!

Hi Maggie,

Many women have reported feeling sensations in their ovary area after or during the Fertility Cleanse Kit, this is completely normal. If you had irregular periods prior to using the Fertility Cleanse, then you may or may not get your period. If you do not it is fine to begin the herbs you have chosen.

Best Wishes,

Dalene
