Fertili-Tea?

[stuckinoki]

A friend sent me some after she got pregnant. I'm all for trying new things, but the problem is that I can't seem to find any "real" reviews on the product. The only reviews out there are sister sites for fertilitea.com talking good things about the product.

I've heard that it will make you ovulate twice each month, once out of each ovary...but again, I can't find any of this in writing other than women talking about it on forums :/

Also, all of the reviews that people SWEAR it was the fertilitea that got them pregnant, I can't buy into. There's no way of knowing whether or not the tea had anything to do with it, or if they would have gotten pregnant anyway.....

If anybody knows of any real review sites that explain how it works, could you point me in that direction!

Thanks ladies, I'm not doubting anything, I just want to read some stuff that's not just fertilitea propaganda.

Ovulating twice, out of each ovary? Erm...I'd say it's a complete and utter hoax. Best not waste your money!

If this was the fertility "cure" the world's been waiting for, I'm sure it would be on every shelf of every supermarket, and doctors would be doling it out like smarties.

Save your pennies!

 

[stuckinoki]

No, that's not what I meant at all...

The rumors on the forums are that you ovulate out of both ovaries when you take it consistently. The tea itself is just a blend of "fertility friendly" herbs like raspberry leaf and other natural good for girl bits stuff.

Whether or not it works is another story...it tastes better than anything in my cabinet though so I think I'll keep using it! lol

Sounds interesting if it is just the herbs recommended for TTC anyway, plus if it tastes good that is another bonus. I will be interested in other responses on this tea too.

Hi there
Let me know how you do on the tea, if it actually works for you I will give it a go.
Best wishes,
Amber

I actually drink 3 cups a day and have for the past three months (I heard from a herbalist friend that it takes about 3-4 months to build up in your system before it can become truly effective, but I have benefited already. Although I am not pregnant yet, It actually gives me a much more regular cycle. I went from a 90-120 day cycle (if I get one at all, by 120 days I take progesterone to induce) to 30-40 days. I used to buy the tea but now I make my own which is much cheaper.

But just like any other medication, it doesn't work for everyone.

BUMPPPP

Hi, I've started using it this cycle - currently CD 13. I have cycles between 32-38 days so hoping it will shorten my cycles. It's quite expensive - £14.99 for a months supply on amazon. The only difference I have noticed so far is lots of creamy CM (sorry tmi!). I'd also be interested to hear other people's experiences. It tastes ok, I'm having 2 cups a day

Bumppppppppppp!!!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Bump!

 

[SusieC]

I had a positive OPK CD14 - usually it's CD20-21. Also have had lots of watery cm and more EWCM than usual. Waiting for my BBT to confi ovulation.

 

[stuckinoki]

Ha. I can't believe this thread got dredged up! lol.

I did use the tea for a while. It tasted really good, but it didn't help my cycles [which are stupid and irregular] but it's got the angus cactus and red raspberry leaf [which are both supposed to help with TTC and cycle regulation]

Ladies, from what I read the FertiliTea contains Vitex Agnus Castus (Chasteberry), Green Tea, Red Raspberry, Ladies Mantle, Nettle Leaf, and Peppermint Leaf. Vitex Agnus Castus is not for everyone, I personally do not take it. Not sure what Ladies Mantle is for but I am curious and will check it out. as for the rest I've been drinking Red Raspberry + Red clover blossom before O and Green Tea, Nettle Leaf, and Peppermint Leaf throughout the cycle for about a year now. It's all good stuff (I hope) but not a miracle baby maker.

The estrogenic, anti-inflammatory and mild sedative properties within Lady’s Mantle were said to help in child birth, for treating barren women, for bringing on menstruation, relieving excessively heavy periods and water retention, in treating cervicitis, pelvic infections, uterine fibroma and for easing the discomfort of menstrual cramps and menopause.

Ladies Mantle, another herb, also has a toning effect on the cervix.

The benefits of drinking Lady's Mantle tea before and throughout pregnancy include:
• Ease menstrual cycle problems: Lady’s Mantle is useful both for regulating the menstrual cycle, as well as improving menopause symptoms.
• Fertility: Female infertility is often caused by a woman’s inability to ovulate, or release, an egg. When a woman isn’t ovulating, the problem is usually an imbalance in her hormones. Lady's Mantle is an excellent hormone regulator. It adjusts the menstrual cycle, which is particularly important if you want to get pregnant.
• Relax the pelvic organs especially after a difficult birth or if you have postnatal lesions to cure
• Treat miscarriage predisposition: It will strengthen the uterine fibers

I started taking it this cycle. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Guys I just posted about this. Probably prematurely as I didn't do any searches first. I heard good things and just started drinking it this cycle. From CD1 - well i am almost positive I O'd on CD13 yesterday. I usually O CD 19 or later. I have long irregular cycles (29-42 days) so I think I am a believer!

 

[SusieC]

Just to say I ov CD15 on my second cycle taking this. I've stopped now as we're taking a break from TTC due to stress, but I think it did help to regulate and shorten my cycle. HTH

Hey ladies, I know this is a little late but I have been taking Clomid CD5-9 and was thinking of trying FertiliTea this cycle. I usually have to have Provera to start my PD and I was wondering if any one else has drank this tea to start their PD? As it stands I am currently on CD 22 and U/S confirmed no O this cycle and DR says not to start provera until CD34 then 10 days of provera which means a 44-48 day cycle.

 

[DAISYPRENCESS]

Can someone say what it is made of? I have heard (years ago) about herbs that help for getting pregnant but I have never tried. I am from Bulgaria we anyway have our tea in different way and different kinds. I am living now in UK but I do not see here shops for herb.

 

[Briss]

DAISYPRENCESS, I am in the UK but I usually buy my herbs on line it's cheaper.

My usual herbs are:

Red Raspberry (stop after O)
Nettle Leaf
Peppermint Leaf
Red clover blossom (stop after O)
Green Tea
Ginger (fresh)/lemon/honey

Some say these two are good but I have not tried them:

Ladies Mantle
Vitex Agnus Castus (Chasteberry)
