Default Lydia Pinkham?

Hi

I was wondering if anybody has tried 'Lydia Pinkham Herbal Tablet Supplement', to control their hormones, I have heard that it is meant to balance out your Estrogen and Prosgesterone and is known as 'A baby in every bottle".

The ingredients are:
dicalcium phosphate
sucrose
calcium carbonate
talc
stearic acid
ascorbic acid
dl-alpha tocopherul acetate
dandelion root
dogwood bark
black cohosh
motherwart leaf
croscarmellose sokium
gelatin
pleurisy root
glycyrrhiza root
ferrous freeonyl
gentian root

I am on Met 1500mg.

Any advice on Lydia pinkham or these ingredients very welcome

TIA

Hi Tracy! I tried the liquid kind (tastes nasty!), but stopped after 3wks because I went on a trip and forgot to take it with me. But my mom says she couldn't get pregnant before she had me for 3yrs and conceived in 2 or 3 mths. She recommended it to other friends and they conceived also. When I took it, I started having some twinges in my ovary area, so I think it was doing SOMETHING!

Sorry I couldn't help you out anymore. But I'm going to start taking it again.

I recall my Grandmother talking about this stuff when we were kids. I don't think it will hurt.

I bought some a while back but never got around to trying it. Was thinking about using it this next cycle but I'm not sure which cycle days to take it. I believe it's black cohosh that can be dangerous if you're pregnant, so should it be taken from cd1-ovulation?

My mom told me about Lydia Pinkham. My cousin, who is a thin cyster and has PCOS took Lydia Pinkham for about a month and a half and she got pregnant after many years of ttc. She has a 2 year old son. I starting taking it about 2 and half years ago, but I can't remember how long I took it for. I remember stopping it because I didn't feel like it was giving me results. But I don't think I took it long enough to see full results.

I know this is an old thread but I also took Lydia Pinkham and Ov'd the first month! I took the liquid kind and had to dilute it in juice and hold my nose because it tasted so bad. I only took it for the first week of my cycle, ov'd late and if I don't get pregnant this cycle I will most definitely take it again. It really does work!

Also, Pinkham is the only thing I was taking so I know it is what did the trick!

My Walgreens was supposed to sell it but they pulled it because no one ever bought the stuff. I ended up getting it at an independently owned pharmacy, when I was looking for it I couldn't find it, now I see it every little pharmacy I go into.
