Default Maca?

Anyone using maca? The assistant at my local health food/supplements store recommended it to me for both my IF and dh's male factor. Is it safe to try if I'm gearing up for IVF?

Both my dh and I used maca root in the past and I didn't find it helped us. It didn't help my cycles and my dh found it to make him a bit randy, though that I didn't mind! I believe it is safe to take when doing IVF. It's also safe to take during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Some ppl give it to their pets! It's a root so it's not really a drug or herb. At least that's what I was told by someone I called (the company from the brand I bought) back in 2005 when we were taking it. The woman I spoke with told me that technically they are to tell people to use it at their own discretion when pg etc but she admitted she was pregnant and taking it throughout her pregnancy and she knew of others that did the same. Also, you apparently can't overdose on it either. hth.
