ok from what i have read wispy is right, it opens (obviously) for Ov and opens also for AF and for miscarriages...

when i checked it last night it seemed low and open maybe AF is coming?? :shrug:

Yep low and open would mean AF possibly. As you said it opens at ovulation, then it closes afterwards, until AF when it opens again.

However, mine never felt closed, and it never felt very high either. I have hardly checked it in pregnancy but for quite a while it still felt low and open.
Now it's def high. What I'm saying is it's not that reliable, so try not to take too much notice!

Hey Ladies -

Aj - I have taken a break from the maca too I started it again this monday but stopped it after one day. I figured I will start next week monday and stay on it for 3 months or whenever I get my BFP.

I am going to watch salt tonight I have heard good things about it!
 
hello all - just popping in to find out about maca and so spare me going all through thread, could some of you tell me about your experiences please please please....
 
thanx sbb, well it felt closed to me this morning, and with the temp drop i think AF might be on the way...fxed for the end of this cycle, and it is shorter than the last one...so maybe the vitex did help a little :shrug:
 
welcome chilli - i haven't got a :bfp: on maca, but i do enjoy the effects it gives you. my most favorite is that when AF is here i don't get a lot of my usual AF side effects such as the back ache and the nausea. it seems to put all of that at ease.

AFM how is everyone doing? i'm kind of hopeful today. megg3k has been helping me understanding thyroid. for a while i didn't understand the difference between hyper and hypo i didn't even know there was two kinds. well, i got my TSH level checked back in march due to a late period, dizziness, hot flashes, etc. it came to be 0.61 which is within the doctors "normal range" as my husband said. however, after speaking to megg about it even though it is within the doctor's normal range, most like it to be between 1.0 and 2.0 and some places even consider under 0.7 to be hyperthyroid. i have a lot of the symptoms of it so i'm curious to see what supplements i can take to assist this and hopefully get sorted out and a :bfp: on the horizon.

Hi ladies :flower:,

I was pointed in your direction by a fellow BnBer and was starting to read the pages then realised there were 707 pages. So i wondered if you wouldn't mind answering some questions for me pleeeeeaaasse :)


I have read that Maca helps regulate hormones...is that true?

Where do i buy it?

How many do i take?

Do i take it daily?...i don't really have cycles, only 1-2 a year.

Can i take anything else with it?, like Agnus Castus, EPO etc.


Thanks :hugs: x
 
hi fairy! :wave:

I have read that Maca helps regulate hormones...is that true? very true!

Where do i buy it? where are you located? if you are in the states, amazon.com is a good choice. just make sure what you get is the pure organic version. there is powder and capsules. i would recommend the capsules as would most the girls here. if you are near the UK a good place is https://www.creative-nature.co.uk/vmchk/maca.html.

How many do i take? recommended dosage is 1,500mg - 3,000mg per day

Do i take it daily?...i don't really have cycles, only 1-2 a year. yes, daily. you can start at any time in your cycle too so you are good to start right when you get them.

Can i take anything else with it?, like Agnus Castus, EPO etc. yes, those are all safe to take with maca. i take quite a lot with my maca and have never had problems.
 
Thanks for helping me out nevertogether, i'm in the UK, so will check out the link.

Great information Never :thumbup:

I took it for 3 months as did DH for the first two months I took two capsules a day and noticed a much easier AF no mood swings and earlier OV.
On the bonus side it really helped with :sex: it was better :thumbup::blush::thumbup:
towards the end of the third month I upped to 4 capsules a day right up till a few days after OV then I was really moody thought it was the MACA but nope got a :bfp:

I got mine from EBAY go for an organic brand, I also took EPO, vit B complex along with mine with no problems.

PS my sister who has not had a AF in 6 months started on it about 3 weeks ago and got her AF a few days ago, her missing AF is deffo a hormonal problem and just proves it blances them out:thumbup:
 
Thanks so much CelticNiamh, i'm very excited to try it now, especially hearing it brought AF on for your sister and your BFP.

i have this indescribable and overwhelming happiness right now. all i can do is listen to music and smile! could it be because i'm seeing DH in 1 week and 5 days! argh. i could cry! :yipee: :yipee:
 
Wahoooooo Never! I'm so happy for you, don't you think it strange that this last minute trip popped up right before you ovulate :yipee:

:wave: fairy!! I started taking maca at the beginning of April after trying to find something to regulate my AF. It was all over the place, I had late ovulation, spotting and a short LP.

I can't say that it regulated everything for me as I got my :bfp: the end of May after a year of trying, and only had one AF in between, but I'm sure thats how i finally caught the egg. OH took it also.

It is a food not a herb so is safe to take with anything. I took soy, and baby asprin too with it, and took 1500-2000mg in the am, don't take after lunch as it has energy increasing qualities so it may keep you awake :D
 
linny - i hope that is a good sign for us! my kid would be conceived in pristina, kosovo, a third world country. haha. kind of a cool story :)
