Black Cohosh....anyone use in follicular phase only?

onelittleyogi · 04-14-2005, 11:11 PM

Since my major obstacle to Oing on my own is high LH instead of high insulin, I am considering trying black cohosh since its reported to lower LH. I would use it in a similar way to Clomid.....but for a little longer time. Say, from CD3 to CD12, or maybe I should take it until I confirm O? Any thoughts or experience with this?

I'm taking it right now and I'm on CD1.. my naturopathic dr. said it was fine to take while AF is around. I have high LH too and I'm hoping it will lower it and allow me to ovulate.

Do you stop taking it once O is confirmed or take it all cycle long?

And what dosage?

Thanks for your reply! Its hard to find info on this.

I think you are supposed to stop taking it once ovulation is confirmed.
I'm taking a liquid form as prescribed by my naturopath.. 1/2 teaspoon 2x a day.
