[ticktock]

me and my OH are taking 1500mg a day and so far he's remembered lol, haven't noticed any difference yet but has only been 4 days

We're flying out to Spain tomorrow to visit my Dad for a week,so glad our flights weren't cancelled, they very nearly were. Am hoping to take advantage of being holiday to get lots of bding done esp as I should be round ov time so its v good timing actually! Hope the maca kicks in soon too and will be taking my maca, cbfm and raspberry leaf tea with me, just gotta hide it all from sister, bro in law and Dad as they don't know we're ttc.

Hope everyone is ok and maybe I'll even come back to some BFPs!

I have to say, although i'm not noticing massive difference yet with taking Maca (its only been 3 weeks!!) I'm about due for AF and have NO PMS!!!!! Wahoo that is fantastic for me cos normally i'm a total fruit loop just before. OH is very happy (he hasn't noticed an increase in sex drive but he usually BD's on demand for me anyhoo.........bless him LOL!!)

That sounds perfect

Natalie I took 4/day

Ticktock have a lovely holiday and I hope you get lots of lol!

i'm confused ladies i've been taking fertilaid for two weeks and i'm nervous that maybe i should be taking a really good prenatal vitamin instead. i've read 50/50 reviews on fertilaid and since my cycle is regular..i don't want to mess it up.. starting my maca tomorrow and continuing fertilaid unless i find something out. any opinions? i'm just so confused on what all i need to be taking..

 

[Linny]

Oh Ive just remembered something else I'm gonna attribute to Maca...........I feel soooooooo calm these last few days almost happy, even though AF is round the corner Maybe its not Maca but I haven't felt like this in the 11mths Ive been trying.

Kelster - I have to say you've defo inspired me that it CAN happen! SBB you too, I'm feeling all positive today

There's some earlier threads on here about fertilaid, none of which were great reviews but I guess everyone's diff and if its working for you then keep taking it. I can't imagine Maca would interfere. Sorry hun, not really helping am I!!

Defo make sure your taking Folic Acid, thats the most important

yep I truly noticed a HUGE difference as well prior to no sore boobies, wasn't sooo cranky.....

nevertogether- you just really need to find out what works for you... I know-FRUSTRATING- can yor doc prescribe pre-natals since you are plannning to TTC in the next few months... mine gave me a prescription back in Oct after my MC because I told him that we were not going to prevent it from possibly happening again....

 

[NatalieP]

Sounds like maca is for me then specially if it calms pmt (I am awful coming up to a/f) will be buying some tomorrow!
Thankyou girls lots of baby dust to you all.
