Natural Fertility Treatments to Avoid Invasive Infertility Treatment and Get Pregnant

Fertility Super Food – Royal Jelly

by Hethir Rodriguez, B.S., M.H., C.M.T.

While there are a number of different “superfoods” that have proven to be highly effective at helping with fertility, Royal Jelly is more than likely the reigning King…or Queen of the bunch. This nutrient dense substance is a secretion that comes from glands in young worker bees, and is used to not only create a queen bee for procreation, but is also fed to honey bee larvae to provide them with optimal health and growth.

Royal Jelly is rich in amino acids, lipids, sugars, vitamins, and most importantly, proteins. It contains high levels of vitamins D and E, and also has ample levels of iron and calcium. As all of these are essential to proper health and organ function, it is very easy to see how Royal Jelly can help with in assisting with fertility.

Royal Jelly
Regular consumption of high-quality Royal Jelly has been shown to help balance hormones. This makes it beneficial to those individuals that suffer from a hormonal imbalance, as it helps to provide support to the endocrine system. It can also help with problems that are related to hormonal imbalance, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome or irregular menstrual cycles. Some studies have shown that Royal Jelly has the propensity to mimic human estrogen, which can help those that suffer from low estrogen levels.

Royal Jelly is primarily sold as a dietary supplement that can be used for a variety of issues. Some of the things that Royal Jelly has been used for include:

• To increase libido
• Support egg health
• Diminish and reduce the signs of aging
• To reduce inflammation caused by illness or injury
• To naturally boost the bodies immune system
• To help treat auto-immune problems like non-rheumatoid arthritis

You can usually find Royal Jelly in capsule or liquid form. The liquid form is placed into a honey base, that can be taken orally or mixed into beverages, meal-replacement shakes or smoothies. When purchasing Royal Jelly, you want to make sure that you only choose pure, high-quality jelly from a reputable source. Make sure there are no preservatives, additives or chemicals to the jelly, so that it does not counteract what you are trying to do to boost your fertility.

It is extremely important to note that Royal Jelly should not be taken by everyone. As with anything, even those things that are natural, it is possible for an individual to have an allergic reaction from consuming the jelly. If you know that you have an allergy to bee stings or even an allergy to honey, you should not take Royal Jelly, as side affects and reactions can include minor to severe skin irritations, difficulty breathing or even anaphylactic shock.

Hi Cara,

Have you had your progesterone levels tested? If not, it may be worth looking into. We do not suggest using natural progesterone cream without knowing if in fact you have progesterone deficiency. If you had regular menstrual cycles, that were consistent and you know you regularly ovulated, then Vitex may not be a good choice. I have seen women choose Vitex, women with regular cycles, and then the vitex threw the cycle off. Vitex is not an herb for women with regular ovulation and perfectly timed cycles. I am not sure why you chose Vitex. Otherwise I am not sure why your cycles have suddenly become so irregular. Dong Quai is an herb that is more specific to women who have light, scanty periods.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Peepa,

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 not a “cure all”, and there is no way to know if you will become pregnant or not. No one can know for sure who will go on to have a successful pregnancy or not. I cannot stress enough the importance of thoughtful preparation for pregnancy. Fertility Cleansing prior to pregnancy is one of the best ways to prepare your body for healthy conception. Cleansing before conception may be one of the last opportunities you have to rid your body of toxins that could be passed onto your baby in utero.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Joanetta,

Vitex is an herb that needs to be taken consistently for at least 6-12 months consistently to achieve desired results. It may be that you gave up on your herbal plan too soon. It may also be that your body is still adjusting; trying how to function on its own without being “told” what to do my the hormones in the birth control. It is a good sign you have gotten your period back, but it would be good to know if you are ovulating for sure. Sometimes it can be very difficult to pin point ovulation with OPK’s alone. I urge you to learn other ways of charting. Combining other methods of charting with OPK may help you to determine if and when you are ovulating. Check out our new Fertility Charting Guide! Something else that comes to mind is that for some methods like the Implant or Depo-Provera, some women do not get their menstrual cycle at all and it seems that these women have a harder time getting their menstrual cycles to come back. These two forms of birth control are very strong, and may be affecting your ovulation! You can learn how the Implant affects your body and the best ways to bring your body back into balance by reading our article at this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/birth-control-fertility.html

I hope you have gotten some good news from your doctor!

Is Royal Jelly safe to take while nursing?

307 Tabitha Ackon December 26, 2011

i have pcos,can i take maca and royal jelly as food supplement at the same time?

308 clare December 28, 2011

Hi there,

Is it ok to take royal jelly right through the cycle without a break? I am not sure with certain supplements if I should only take them up to ovualtion and then stop incase of pregnancy? (I have unexplained infertility) if you could advise me whether I can take this all the time upto a BFP? that would be great! also the same question for:
Maca capsules (500mg twice a day)
L arginine
Q10

309 Hethir Rodriguez, B.S., M.H., C.M.T. December 30, 2011

Clare,
All those are fine to take all month long. The maca I would stop during your period and begin again once bleeding stops. Once you suspect you are pregnant you would stop using the supplements and herbs.

310 M January 5, 2012

Hi,

I would like to know what herbs are best suited for a 40 yo lady whose progesterone is more on the low-mid scale, and a low AMH. Specifically I am interested in Maca, L-Arginine, Spirulina, CoQ10, Vitex and essential oils. I have done the fertility cleanse for two months as my periods average 23 days., and am taking Wobenzyme together with Spirulina, Chorella and Barley grass, plus Maca, L-Arginine. I have no children yet my husband was diagnosed with sperm count of 3 mil (reason for further separation issues although I hope to get back together and consider IUI or IVF). I also use only organic cosmetics and have eliminated all harsh chemicals in the brands I use.
Could you please assist.

Hi Ashley,

Some women choose to use royal jelly while breastfeeding, but this should only be done so if you know you do not have a history of bee allergy on both sides of the baby’s family. Consuming bee products while pregnant and breastfeeding, when there is a history of bee allergy on either side of baby’s family, has been shown in rare cases to have sensitizing agents, that may lead to the development of bee allergy.

All the best,

Dalene

312 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula January 9, 2012

Hi Tabitha Ackon,

Yes, both of those supplements have been shown safe to use at the same time.

Best Wishes,

Hi M,

Honestly it sounds like you are doing everything you can! A stressful relationship and emotional stability are important key factors. Please consider stress management as well.

Hi,
So I have heard of Royal Jelly and decided to use it this past weekend. I am just getting comfortable with the taste but it’s worth the possible benefit it will have. I also have PCOS (irregular periods), and taking metaformin.My husband and I are TTC naturally before making the decision to go further with any other treatments. Will the Royal Jelly and metaformin be okay to take? Also could you recommend any other natural herbs and the best multi-vitamin.

Thanks

315 Kammy January 19, 2012

I have been taking multivitamins for her and fish oil with omega 3 for 3 months. Should I take royal jelly along with these vitamins? I don’t have any honey allerge. I have a cycle of 31-32 days and it lasts for 3days. If I start taking royal gelly, how long should I take to have optimum results for conceiving ?

Thanks
Kammy

316 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula January 20, 2012

Hi Mel,

We have not found any fertility herbs or medications that affect how Metformin works in the body. To learn the best natural remedies and diet tips for PCOS please read our article here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/pcos-fertility-diet

We like our Fertilica Women’s Whole Food Multivitamin for pregnancy preparation.

Hi. After TTC for almost 5 yrs, I have taken the natural route. I have done IUI’s and IVF’s, all with no luck. I have PCOS. After researching long and hard, these are the supplements I have come up with; royal jelly, vitex,chromium, fennel seeds,evening primrose oil and baby aspirin. What do you think of these combos? I am also doing really healthy eating. Thanks!

318 Dalene Barton, CH, Doula January 25, 2012

Hi Kammy,

Honestly there is no way for me to know if you should take royal jelly or not. Royal Jelly is an excellent super food, aiding in overall hormonal balance, supporting optimal fertility health and protecting the body from xenohormones. It is up to you to decide if this supplement may be helpful for your situation or not. In general royal jelly may be best used for 3-6 months in preparation for pregnancy.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Jill,

Those all sound great, but honestly with what little information I have about you it is really difficult to say if those are just right for you. You may want to consider a consultation. You can learn what diet tips and supplements/herbs we find work best for PCOS here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/pcos-fertility-diet

Best Wishes,
