Hello ladies i have just woken from the most awful nights sleep. My DH has been snoring all night and not just normal snoring proper bedroom shaking, window smashing snoring. I squashed in with the little one and could still hear him Im not even sure i know what day it is lol.

Hope everyone is ok today ?

Im going to be doing more spring cleaning today, i stupidly started it yesterday so i must finish

Kel - i really hope this is over for you soon. I remember when i had my MC i had to travel every other day to the hospital to have my bloods taken. I was lucky that i didn't end up having a D&C, but it takes so much out of you. Lots of love to you xxx

Hi Ladies

My MACA arrived today so Ive already popped 2 pills. It says take 2 a day and they are 500mgs each - so 1000mgs. How much are you all taking?

Also mine doesnt say its organic - could that be a problem? I hope not cos I couldnt find any organic that would deliver to me in N.Ireland.

Here's were I got mine - and it gives the ingredients etc - let me know if you think it would be okay to take this - i really hope so.

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[RebaRezzelba]

yeah I think I should of done a bit more research - there are loads of companies that will deliver to me and its organic too - I might just start on the ones I have for now and Order organic ones today and hopefully get them next week (what a waste of £10)....

Do these look good:

Hello again maca ladies, I ordered some maca last friday from the internet. When i went to the local shops i had a quick look in the health food shop and managed to pick some up there. My question is the maca that i got from the health food shop is a long capsule and is 500mg it states take 3 capsules a day before food. I take 4 lol as it also says that maca is completely free from side effects.
The internet maca that arrived today looks like a small brown tablet and smells vile they are 700mg and says to take up to 2 a day with a meal and NOT to exceed the stated dose. It also says consult your doctor if adverse reactions occur.
None of them say organic either. Any advice ladies, have i got it all wrong ? should i order some organic ones ? Do any of you buy yours from the internet ? xxx

Ha ha awww i feel ur pain. My oh is a massive snorer, when i first met him i thought i'l never b able to stick with this but now i'm used to it. Thats not to say i don't sometimes want to jab him in the belly. I used to pinch his nose an it'd wake him up lol x x

never - enjoy your busy day!

sparkle - hahaha, you know the worse part is they wake up feeling refreshed while you get out of bed feeling like death roled over!!! And then they wonder why you are grumpy!!!!

linny - ohh I love girls night...enjoy and have a drinky for me!

reba- I have the organic one so I am not sure I can help you....but my bottle says to take 4-6 pills for the first week and then 2-3 each day after. Each pill is 600mgs. I have been taking them and no problem. I know sometimes the ones that are not organic have fillers in it that can cause side effects. The s/e are not related to the maca but to the other ingredients that are in them....best bet is to follow the directions...and if possible go and find yourself the organic kind.

kel and sbb- how are my ladies doing today?

[trying 4 3rd]

morning ladies I was reading through this thread and just wondering some things about maca. When in my cycle can I start it and what is it for exactly? I have normal cycles (28 days) so didn't know if it was something I should try. Thank you ladies

 

[ttcbaby117]

kel - OMG, that is just ridiculous...seriously!!!!!! I hope they at least helped you to find another pharmacy that has it????

trying - maca is just a fertility booster. Try to get the organic version and you can start it anytime in the cycle. You can read more about it at https://www.macaroot.com/
Let us know if you have any other questions. Just so you know, I am a freak about taking anything...not even aspirin and I am fine on it. Actually gives me more energy and increased my sex drive.

Thank you so much ttcbaby117! If you don't mind me asking do you take the pills or the powder and how much? Sorry for all the questions hun.

 

[ttcbaby117]

no problem, I dont mind answering them.....

I take capsules....the bottle told me to take 4-6 pills for the first week and then 2-3 there after. Each pill is 600mgs. I took 4 the first week and now take 2 per day. I have heard the powder to be more potent, you can mix it in a shake or yogurt, but it wasnt available to me so this is what I went with.

Oh and I forgot to tell you...I noticed last month, my af symptoms werent as horrible and my mood was better throughout my cycle.
