Supplements list

[reallyready]

Hi
I am wondering who is taking herbs or supplements, how much, and on what days?

Here is my answer:

CD1 to O 2600 mg/day evening primrose oil
CD1 to O 2 cups Red Clover Blossom tea infusion per day
CD1 to O 1 cup Red Raspberry leaf tea (regular bag brew) per day
CD1 to O 1 cup grapefruit juice per day
Prenatal everday
O to AF flax seed oil

Also just purchased 100 mg of B6, but not sure if that is the right amount and when I should be taking it.

Thanks!

I take pre/pregnancy multivit, omega oil and extra folic acid and iron throughout the month.

Hi

I used to take EPO up to ov and 100mg bvits throughout as well as a prenatal. I think EPO helped a bit with cm but bvits never seemed to lengthen lp like some girls say! I think bvits are best taken together rather than just one on its own.

I now take the Zita West prenatal vit. Pricey but got everything in there.

Take your B6 throughout your cycle honey.

here's what I'm taking this cycle:
EPO before O
multi vit
Omega-3
an iron supplement called floradix- my acupuncturist recommended it to build blood, also because I'm a vegetarian so I guess it helps.

Other months I've also taken b-50 complex to lengthen luteal phase (it didn't work for me and gave me headaches) and red raspberry leaf capsules.

I think I'm going to try the grapefruit juice this cycle.

Only thing I really did differently this cycle is up'd my folic acid to 800 and took 2 B6/day.

Hey LadyBee, Thanks for sharing. I'm so excited for your two lines. I had just finished reading your entire journal the day you found out so I had such a big smile for you. How much B6 were you taking a day? How many mg?

Does anyone know which supplements you should not take with Clomid? I've definitely read that Agnus Castus/Vitex should not be taken while on clomid, but are there any other herbs or vitamins that I should not take? I'm wondering about things like omega-3, EPO, and red raspberry leaf. I think I read that b-complex is fine, but I haven't been able to find much info about other supplements. Thanks!

Thanks, Ladybee!


Bklyn - I read in the TTC forum of women taking EPO and red raspberry leaf while taking Clomid. I haven't found anything specific about Clomid online in relationship to vitamins/herbs.
I feel like since Clomid is supposed to reduce EWCM that EPO should help with that.
Anyone else?

I think the grapefruit juice/epo is definitely helping with my CM. Maybe won't even need preseed this cycle. Yoohoo!!
