questions about TTC - confused!!!! PLEASE HELP

lucie_nc · 06-24-2003, 11:00 AM

Hi guys,

I did a search before asking this question, and saw really conflicting advice, so I thought I'd ask again about my specific supplements, and see what advice I got. Specifically, I'm worried about what is safe to take while ttc, and what will happen starting and stopping herbs during the cycle.

I'm taking Vitex every day. Do I need to stop Vitex while ttc? Or do I take it until CD 14 and then stop? Will it be hard on my body to start and stop every month if ttc lasts a long time?

NPC - if you are ttc, you should start taking on CD 14? What about taking a small dosage all month? (will it always stop O?)

FUR - that is safe to take throughout ttc and into pregnancy, right?

I'm also taking DIM and NAC right now, and don't plan on stopping - I checked the label and there are no warnings (like there are on the Vitex label). Any advice there? I will do some more research on those two, specifically, though.

FINALLY - soy to O - a few of you say you took soy CD 4-8 or so to improve O. How much soy? Protein powder or what? (I'd prefer to get something that is organic, non-GMO).

Thanks in advance - you guys are the greatest, this board has helped me more than you can ever know.....

Peace,
Lucie

I took vitex and saw plamette till around cd14-16 as my cycles were way out of whack, then stopped altogether when i found out i was pg. I had negative 3 hpt results(when i was actually pg) so i ended up taking it for around a month while i was pg. As for the others i am not sure sorry.
