Anyone take or tried Maca Root??

[TTCnov2012]

Ive been spotting O day to AF for about 10 months now... And this is out first month TTCing so im scared I'll never get a BFP... I'm thinking of trying Maca root?? Has anyone tried this and had good experiences?

Me, me, me! I had a 53 day cycle last month, and I started taking the Maca Root capsules on like CD 49 and I am not sure if it was the Maca Root or what but AF finally came. I have been taking it every day since (I take at least 1,000mg/day, sometimes 1,500mg if I feel like it) and it has definitely helped out my sex drive tremendously. I ordered mine off of Amazon, and I am still waiting in this cycle to see if I got a BFP or not. I am NTNP so I don't really know when I ovulated or what, we are just BD'ing when we want to but I started seeing EWCM much earlier in my cycle this cycle as opposed to past cycles. I hope that helps you out at least a little.

My cycles are pretty regular id say... Between 26-30

I never get EWCM, I spot Oday-AF, I have a 2-3 day AF w severe cramps.

I think I'll try it! I've only heard good things!

How much did u know how to take?

I searched for it on this forum and saw what other women were taking and decided 1,000mg seemed like the right amount for myself.

I just started taking it.... For those of you taking the pills, do you take all three pills at once (525mg each) or take one with each meal? Maybe it doesn't matter either way?

 

[RockNRollBaby]

I don't think it matters. I take 1 in the morning before/after breakfast and 1 before/after dinner. My bottle doesn't say it needs to be taken with food, so I've taken it at other times and didnt get any side effects. I just have my bottle in the kitchen so it's there for me to remember to take it.

I started taking it about 6 days ago, I love it. I have more energy and more ecwm already! My sex drive has increased slightly but I only take 500
Mg I have been ttc for 27 months so hope this helps xx

Been taking 1500, I think it really helped balance out my hormones after stopping BCP. I was having a lot of brown discharge after my first AF and it stopped the day after I took maca.

Oh good! Im going to make a OB appt with a new dr bc I don't think mine took me seriously when I told her my issues in August. I start out with spotting brown the day after OV and then progressively go into a red spotting until AF. Sometimes as long at 10 days!!!

Ive been pregnant twice, and each month i fell pregnant was the month i started maca root. We tried for 10 months first pregnancy, and the month i started Maca root, I fell pregnant immediately! Unfortunately we had a 2nd tri loss (chromosomal). We started trying again straight away, and on the 3rd month i thought id give Maca another go, and was pregnant straight away again Bubs is due in 5 weeks

Although I forget how many mg's i took. But i started out slowly, One every second day for a week, one a day for a week, then 2 a day from then on. It really affected my tummy if i took too much too quickly x

Iv heard good things about maca so was thinking about trying it myself!
Do you take it all month or is it one of those things you need to stop after ovulation?

 

[Wugz22]

I take it all month

Does it matter what colour it is? I mean for me. From reading about, it seems like the black maca is best for blokes, I'll have to get some and start dosing DH.....

Seeing that people have had their BFP's makes me so excited about taking it. I will keep you al up to date. xx
