Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

Give it some time Catwoman. The 'horny' effects seem to kick in pretty quick but regulating your cycle and such might take a few months.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


My maca isnt working am I being impatient its been week and 4 days just off and on cramping no sign of AF...although yesterday it felt like she was here...I wish she would come already


Have a lovely day ladies!!![/QUOTE]

Hi Catwoman & all the lovely Maca girls out there.

So, from the earlier question in re: the Maca effects etc, I've done a little reading up on it and I've found some pretty interesting reading.

I read that your only supposed to take Maca on CD: 1-14 as it can cause PMS side effects, and it can cause stress/depression if too much is taken.

So, I'm inclined to stop taking it now and wait for AF to come, then start again IYKNW as I can really do without the extra PMS, I think my DH would run away for sure!!

What are your opinions and finding girls?

EDITED TO SAY THAT: On a good note, I have like a pully/moving feeling in my left ovary which is achey too, but that's my ovary with the blocked tube, so I'm taking that as a good sign or should I take it as bad?

OMG, girls are taking to to beef up their butts too.

Aj - The bottle told me that 1 tsp was 2500 mgs.

TNT - Oh I am sooooo praying for you. Please come on and let us know how you are doing when you are able!

Kel - that is a big dip...Did you do a vaginal temp or oral?

catwoman - I had sex dreams the first week I was on it.....but htat seemed to taper off. I think it takes a little while to regulate your cycle.

jam - that is really interesting. I have been taking maca throughout my cycle. Do you think I should only take it during my follicular phase?

 

[AJThomas]

TTC everything i've read has said that 1 tsp = 5000 mg so check it again cause you might be over the recommended dosage, dont know if u can overdose on maca tho so maybe it doesnt really matter.

 

[ttcbaby117]

thanks AJ, I looked again and it says 1-2 tsp (2.5g-5g). That means 1 tsp is 2.5 right?

 

[AJThomas]

Yeah, that sounds more like it.

 

[ttcbaby117]

so 1 tsp is 2.5 grams or 2500 mgs......is that right?

 

[AJThomas]

Yes, that's right so you can take 1/2 tsp or 3/4. It will last you longer too!

 

[ttcbaby117]

I think the recommended dosage is 1000-3000 mgs....so I am doing 1 tsp which is 2500mgs. I feel ok on it so I am going to stick to it. Before, when I was taking the capsules I was taking 1800 mgs...which was 3 tablets. I think I will try the increase and see how I do on it. What about you...what is your dosage?

 

[AJThomas]

Wait a minute, no i think that's wrong. Hehe, i'm sleepy, forgive me. 1 tsp should be 5000 mg not 2 tsp. Here's a link you can check out: https://www.health2009.com/medicine/12013-36.html

AFM, right now i'm only taking 900 mg, ordered some powder so when it gets here i'm upping the dosage to 2500 mg.

Hi ladies.

I didn't want to cause any upset as I think Maca might do 'Me' some good, I just thought I read up on it and I found some things out I wasn't aware of. So, I thought I would share in case any of you gal's didn't know either.

TTC: I have only been taking Maca for 4 days now, so I'm not a veteran like these lovelies on here. I'm sure that they can best advise you. I just read that should be taken 1-14days, as it can increase all PMS symptom if taken after that.

I've been taking between 1-4 tablets. Tablets are 500mg each.

AJ: So, hows it going with you?

I'm so tired today, have been for days,, stiff neck and earache.

Yeah TTCBABY if anything it definately does something for the sex drive...as for the cycle I agree fully Thank you

I'm doing ok Jam, waiting on AF to be on her merry way and for my Maca and hpts to get here. Strangely enough i stopped taking the Maca like right around when i ovulated or a few days after. I didnt read the info that you just posted - more like i was just too lazy to keep taking it, hehe.

There's ladies that take it right through their cycle without any ill effects though so i dunno. Remember that the people that used it originally at it as food so they probably ate it all month long. Definitely better to be safe than sorry though.

Morning girls

I haven't caught up but jam saw your post about days 1-14... I took it all month long, and I have to say my pmt was better! And AF was better! However I was only taking it for a few months. I think it's just one of those things, people react differently and you have to see what works for you
