Here is a Natural Alternative to Clomid

[LoveIsAllINo]

By the way, I've started eliminating anything white or enriched and paying more attention to balancing carbs and proteins and paying attention to portions. Also getting out and walking every morning I can and I have lost .4 lbs which I know is minuscule in the grand scheme of things but for me every oz is a fight to get off! So I feeling a little accomplished

Yaaaaay!!



So happy for you. Very happy you are paying attention to portions more. Grab some protein shakes when you can. Preferably Organic with low sugar of course. High protein. Mine have like 7 grams of sugar, but the sugar isn't all added. It may be zero added sugar actually which is great because that means the sugar is naturally found in the fruit in the shake.

Does anyone know the dosage and days you would take black cohosh? I know you aren't supposed to take it every day of your cycle?

One study I saw the women took it from CD 1 until CD 12. Another study I saw the women took it from CD 2 until CD 12.

I chose to do from CD 1 to CD 12. I read women used 140 mg per day. I have the Solaray brand. I truly trust the brand Solaray from how great their Vitex is.

The Black Cohosh is a once a day pill. And it had 100 mg of the root and 80 mg of the root extract.

I got a positive OPK today and yesterday and I have fertile CM! Here's hoping I O!!!

If I O this month it will be amazing because I have never O'd back to back. I O around once or twice a year due to my PCOS and I am working on fixing that issue. So far so good.

I am so incredibly happy for you sounds like you are Oing! I am on cycle day 2 so I guess I will start first thing in the am and hope for the best! I'm going to do this and a girlfriend said to go to the doc and ask about scrapping my womb.. Have you heard of this? She swears by it and says numerous friends of hers got pregnant the same month they got it done.

You know what, I have not heard of that. But it does make sense if you are not shedding your lining monthly. Hmmm, now I am wondering if there could actually be build up.

There is an herb that nourishes the uterus very well. It also brings on an absent period, and is good for the blood throughout the body. It is called Dong Quai. It is amazing and works amazingly with Vitex.

Yeah, I can't remember my dose exactly, but I took it once a day. I think mine was 140 or 150 mg. I believe I took it from CD2-12 or a little bit later.

[MrsMcCurdy]

Yes, I've definitely upped my protein as well.

Hi, I normally O on CD19/20 - I think I still O'd around the same day with the Black cohosh.

I checked my bottle at home and my bottle is a 540 mg bottle - suggested dosage is one tablet per day. So I took one tablet a day for CD2-12 or CD14/15, I think. I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle of Black Cohosh (after being on Clomid for many cycles) - the first cycle on BC, we had bad BD timing.

I've heard that Clomid isn't the best for women over 35 (something to do with changing hormone levels after age 35)- and I think that was true in my case. I got pregnant on Clomid at age 33, with baby #1 (I also O normally on my own- I took Clomid for a stronger O). But I didn't get pregnant with Clomid after taking it for many cycles after age 35. When I took Black Cohosh (for baby#2) I was 38 years old.

Wow. 540 mg? What brand? Glad it worked for u!

 

[mrs.green2015]

No one has added to this thread for awhile but I wanted to come back and update. On my first cycle taking black cohosh I got my bfp! I really believe this is what helped. The month before I ovulated on cd 24ish when AF came on cd 29. The cohosh pushed my ovulation up to cd 13!!

What a great source of information in this thread! Love the options!!

Just my additional two cents to anyone who may swing by here....

Herbs are strong. They are just as strong as medicine. Just because they're natural doesn't make them any less strong.

I'm not downing them! (at all) Strong means they can REALLY make a HUGE difference. I'm so excited for you Mrs.Green, it sounds like it really helped you get your BFP!!

My only point is that if you take other medicines, herbs can interact negatively with other meds in the same way that some medications don't go well together.

Again... I'm not saying they shouldn't be taken. I just suggest making sure you include them on the list when your doctors ask if you're taking any medications.

I have known a few people who swear by some of the stuff talked about in there though!!! Definitely worth looking into for others I'm sure!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Lues- yes i completely agree! This is obviously as strong as clomid defiantly talk to your doctor or herbalist. Especially if you take other medicines.
