Only tea I could get in my area was spearmint, peppermint and field mint mix. Its like drinking chewing gum haha. I make two huge mugs a day and drink it quickly as I dont really enjoy it. I cant give up my normal cuppa tea though lol I have about 3 cups a day

 

[RedRose19]

Oh and af hasnt shown up, last time I tested was 12dpo I didnt bother after that but still no af! Although usually my cycles are around 40 days long but my only positive opk was cd 12 confused is not the word lol. I hope the tea helps next cycle

 

[laurac1988]

that's the Pukka one isn't it? Love that.
I think you can buy spearmint capsules on Amazon, but I'm not sure if they would be the same level of effective as the tea

 

[GingerPanda]

I will get on it, Laura! (You overachiever, you!)

 

[laurac1988]

overachiever? nope! Just reaaaaaaaallly bored at work

 

[laurac1988]

Just shared my list and the link to this group on my blog. I hope we gain some newbies!

 

[GingerPanda]

Phew, done!

Hey ladies!! I've been stalking so I thought I'd join I'm not TTC atm but I have the worst amenorrhea as a result of my PCOS. My last AF was July of 2013. I typically get AF maybe once a year if I'm lucky. A few years ago I tried bcp to "regulate" my cycles and as soon as I stopped taking it AF stopped coming. So I ordered some tea today and hopefully it will help regulate my cycles. I mean if by some miracle it makes me ovulate then I should get AF sometime after that right? We'll see! Fingers crossed! And good luck to all of you

 

[Penguin20]

welcome alycon

and good luck hope the tea helps you ovulate

 

[RedRose19]

Af still not arrived, just tested I think theres a faint line but maybe im seeing things
im thinking I ovulated later than I thought

 

[Penguin20]

Redrose - Maybe post a picture and get others opinion?? Good luck hope af stays away

 

[laurac1988]

Maybe! Fingers crossed it turns into something!

 

[RedRose19]

Its probably nothing.. probably line eye or an evap

 

[laurac1988]

nooo I seeeeeee that!

FX it gets darker!

 

[GingerPanda]

I definitely see it, but I can't tell if it has color. I hope it gets darker!

 

[GingerPanda]

Welcome, AlyCon! Don't you see an OB/GYN? It isn't good for you to go so long without AF. I would think they would have given you Provera our something to trigger AF by now.

I hope the tea helps you! In my unprofessional opinion, if you drink the tea for a month or two and AF doesn't arrive, I would say ask your doctor for some Provera. Your body may need a jump start after so long.

Let me know when you get your tea, and I'll add you a ticker!

 

[AlyCon]

GingerPanda I was seeing one back in 2013 and I was given provera and it worked, then I was on metformin for a few months but the side effects were too much for me. My natural AF actually came once I started eating healthier and exercising. Then I had to move and lost my insurance, just got it back a few months ago. I have an appt later this month for my pap so I'll go over all of that with my doctor then. But in the meantime I'm going to try the tea and go back to the healthy meal plan I was on before and start working out again. I would really prefer the natural holistic route to improving my pcos but I'm not opposed to one cycle of provera. Hopefully the tea works!

And congrats on your BFP!!

Hey ladies! I admit I was totally stalking this page last night when I couldn't sleep lol. I kept thinking about it today so I figured I'd come in and join

So I have a few silly questions for you. First of all when you use a teabag for your second cup of tea can you use the same tea bag or do you need to use a new one? I told you it was a silly question! Lol

Second have any of you experienced a longer lp after using the tea?

I wad diagnosed with PCOS at age 11 a year after my first period. I have all of the issues that come along with PCOS minus being overweight and I o late and irregularly instead of not at all. Today is I think cd50 for me and last cycle was 37 days and I only had a 6 day lp. I also struggle with a high LH presence which gives me lots of dark opks. Pretty much my cycles are a wreck but I'm taking control and doing my best to stay optimistic!

 

[laurac1988]

Welcome!

I have a short LP too and it hasn't yet done anything for that.
With the teabags yes use a new one each time, but you can reuse the loose leaves up to five times depending on the quality of them.
