Maca?

[worrying]

Hiya ladies!

So I have been reading a lot recently about the wonders of Maca, I hear that it can get you to that BFP within two months of taking it!!

Has anyone tried it? What dosage do you recommend?

My big barrier here is Dh, who is currently refusing to take any kind of supplements or 'potions' as he calls them. He says he just wants to look after his health through a good diet, which is great... But my view is that if something could help, then why not!? It can't hurt right?

i'm hoping to get a bfp this cycle and just started today. I don't know if it will help any as I have heard it takes 3 months for the royal jelly and I think the maca to have a good impact - but I'm trying no matter what figured it can't hurt to take it and if it helps a little this month - great! Worse case it will improve my chances as each month passes.

I know of 3 couples awaiting IVF that conceived using Maca before they had to do the IVF...so it does work.
I have been taking it for months but just go my Clomid to make me ovulate...so I don't know if it will have helped me yet...but I'll keep you posted =)

Maca is a superfood and nothing more... tell your dh that! it's a Peruvian root vegetable crushed.

I took maca and swear by it! We were taking 3x900mg caps a day.

Make sure it's pure, organic when you buy it as if not it will be packed with pesticides.

Good luck! x

Sorry to butt into this post ! was wondering if u guys took maka everyday or just at certain points in cycle ? Thanks xxx

You take maca all the way through. x

It does sound pretty amazing, since as well as the fertility help it is also said to reduce stress and create a general feeling of well being! Good news all round I say... Think I am managing to bring dh around by explaining, as Gemie said, that it's a super food. He is frustrating me rather... What with me taking my temperature at 6:20 every morning, charting that, charting my CM, changing my diet...It doesn't really seem a big ask for him to take a bit of Maca!! Grrrr!

I definitely have the feeling of general well being and the increase of libido...thank goodness...otherwise how do you muster the energy to BD everyday to not miss the all important OV....as I don't always trust the OV tests....gotta cover your bases.
I absolutely LOVE Maca...and have also found info that says to take it through your pregnancy (at least through Tri One...as it reduces or eliminates your chance of MC)

Best of luck

Fingers crossed!

I love it as well. I'm on first month of using it and didn't have the terrible ov pains I usually get. I'm very thankful for that. I've been trying to jump dh's bones almost every day. I know that it's not all in my head. Hope I can be a success story.

Nope, you're not imagining it...Maca increases your libido....I've noticed a huge difference as well...lol!
sure makes all that Bding everyday easier when you have something to keep your energy up! lol


All of us Maca girls are gonna get those BFPs before Christmas for sure!!! I just know it
