I tried it. I took it for about 2 weeks and it made me very sick. I think the three pills a day were too much. I wasn't taking it to get pregnant. Just wanted to see if it would regulate the hormones so my hair would become thicker and the facial hair would stop. The reflux I had 5 years ago came back with a vengeance! Once it was out of my system the reflux went away. Also, I have thrombophlebitis from a clot 4 years ago. I could tell that it had thinned my blood because I was cold all the time and had began to retain fluid. After doing research I found that vitex and l'arginine are natural thinners if taken in high doses and improves circulation. It was too much for my body to take.

But don't be discouraged by my experience. You can return it if it doesn't work for you. I must say when AF showed up, it was heavy for 4 days and light the other 2. Normally I'm heavy for 2 and light the other 3. I'm charting and I didn't see any signs of ovulation. Then too, I probably wasn't on it long enough.

Thanks ladies. I think I am going to get some... couldn't hurt right? I want to start taking it before going off my bcp but wonder if that's okay? They say on the website that it takes about 90 days to start working and I would like to be off the bcp by then.

As a company advocate for FertilityBlend and someone who is familiar with the products, perhaps I can shed some light on this question. First of all, it is always best to consult your doctor before starting any new supplement or drug. Only you and a knowledgeable medical professional can decide what is the most appropriate course of action with regards to your fertility. FertilityBlend is a nutritional supplement that has been proven to increase chances of pregnancy by balancing hormones and menstrual cycles in women and improving sperm quality and motility in men. There are a plethora of reasons why fertility drugs are not the answer for everyone. FertilityBlend works naturally and gradually with your body to optimize your fertility health and is less invasive than a lot of other options. It is the only fertility supplement backed by published clinical studies done on the formula itself as opposed to individual ingredients. This study was conducted at Stanford University.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks,
Alice

I have to say, I am currently on Fertility Blend and I love it. This is my first round on it, and while the box says it can take 3 cycles on it, there are women on here that got their bfp on it in the first cycle. I must also say, I have noticed my body really responding. And since I'm horrible about remembering to take vitamins, this has been great bc of all the great vitamins in it. All in all I think it's a great product. I do think the 3 HUGE pills at once are a bit much, but hey, if it gets me pg it's all worth it. HTH!!!!!

I would say to speak with a Holistic doctor first so that they can give you the right guidance before you combine herbs with the Met. Sometimes, herbs and prescription drugs do not go together really well.

Does anyone else have anything to add about this? I have ordered it, but not started it yet. My DH and I are looking for a lower cost/less invasive/more natural method to TTC. I bought a 6 month supply and figured that, if it didn't help by then, we could start talking to the docs again.

I looked into it and found out the active ingredient is vitex (chasteberry) and vitamins. I already take a prenatal so I just added vitex. This is a cheaper way to do it. Fertility Blend is pricey but it does look good.
