Maca Root

[Louloubelle84]

Yup chemical last month and same as you, no sore boobs and only one moody day last month. This month completely different. So maybe you did have a chemical then? I guess you will never know but we both had lack of pmt last month cimpared to this month and I definitely had a chemical last month. It's amazing your reflexologist made that observation about you and it seems that she /he could have been right.

Oh fingers crossed it will be keyhole!

 

[Syd43]

Interesting. She specialises in fertility and has an amazing track record. I love chatting to her, she really knows her stuff.

When is af due for you this month?

 

[Louloubelle84]

My fertility app tells me I'm due Sunday but I think it's Saturday. Last month my spotting started 3 days before af was due so I guess it might start tomorrow. Interested to see what will happen......

 

[Syd43]

My spotting still hasn't started this month, AF due Thursday or Friday, or possibly Saturday. Given when I ovulated this month I would honestly expect it Thursday. Haven't seen my oh this month so def not pregnant. I hate not being able to ttc but it's really interesting to watch symptoms/spotting etc when I know I can't possibly be pg.

Would be slightly ironic if my spotting was finally sorted a few days before the op to remove fibroid which I thought was the cause... Or it could be that the reflexology and acupuncture have finally sorted everything out.

Interested to see what happens with you too.

Hey ladies, do you take maca pills or the powder? I've still got the powder stuff haven't opened it yet, little weary of takingit in case it gives me upset tummy?? Plus I'm a little worried about the taste... should just bite the bullet really and try it...

Also re my reflexology, my last TWW was the first one in ages where I didn't have loads of symptoms, boobs only started getting a little tender a couple of days before AF and even then not that bad, had no nausea..wadnering if its down to the reflexology...

 

[Louloubelle84]

I take tablet form. I was a bit ahem, windy when I first took them but it's ok now.

I might look up reflexology as it seems popular. Hope your spotting stays away Syd. I'm secretly expecting my spotting g to be less than three days this cycle as it reduced by a day last cycle. Shouldn't grt my hopes up but if it's not reduced I will be annoyed I think.

 

[Syd43]

That could have helped the symptoms Staces, my evening out hormones.

I take it in tablet form because I saw the reviews about the powder sometimes giving an upset stomach. Maybe just start with a very low dose and work your way up? Is it you that doesn't like smoothies?

Loulou, fingers crossed re the spotting, keep us posted.

 

[stacesl3]

I would defo recomend the refllexology. I had a session on Sat and the lady that does mine said to me afterwards thats the most relaxed state she has seen me in, she said even my breathing was really even and how it should be! Its good as I dont switch off easily, have my next session Sunday.

yeah dont drink smoothies, would have to have it with milk or milshake somthing like that? I might try a little and see how I go

 

[Louloubelle84]

Syd, how did your op go hun? Did you have the keyhole surgery?

No spotting for me yet and I'm due on Sunday. I took an opk this morning and it was a blazing positive. I'm going to do a frer on Sunday.

Either way, it would seem my spotting has reduced this month so Yay for that!

 

[Syd43]

Oh wow, that's exciting!!

Yes, it was keyhole thank goodness, one of the biggest fibroids he's ever seen apparently! Just waiting to see him to find out how long til I can ttc.

Will be checking in on Sunday to see how you get on, got everything crossed!

 

[Louloubelle84]

Oh wow! Glad it all went well. FX you won't have to wait too long. Have you got a follow up appointment booked?

FX for my father's day testing. Part of me thinks I am, part of me not. I did have mega pmt rage and chocolate cravings which are my usual AF symptoms. But also I'm really emotional at the moment. No other symptoms though really. After 3 consecutive loses its hard to get excited about it, it's more fear that I feel which is sad. But just have to take each day at a time and see what happens!

 

[Syd43]

I'll see the surgeon today before I get released from hospital so he'll be able to tell me then.

Have all your losses been very early? Have you seen the doctor? You should be able to get help after 3.

Staces, putting in a milkshake would work at hiding the taste I would think.

 

[Louloubelle84]

Hope the doctor tells you what you want to hear woth regards to ttc. I hope it isn't too long.

X2 loses were chemicals and x1 mmc at 9 weeks. Been referred to a gynecologist and my first appointment is 14th July. It's also to discuss my spotting. Still no spotting so that's good.

I upped my tablets to x3 a day this cycle as previously I took 2 per day. I also used progesterone cream this cycle and took B6. Hopefully it's done the trick!

 

[phonixgirl]

Right then Louloubelle, I think I need to do what you're doing! 3 x maca root, B6 and progesterone cream! Xx

 

[Syd43]

He said I'm good to go in about 6 weeks which is great news!

Hopefully you won't need that appointment on 14 July.

 

[Louloubelle84]

Right then Louloubelle, I think I need to do what you're doing! 3 x maca root, B6 and progesterone cream! Xx

Yup that's it. And vitamin b complex. I take all three in the morning and then my other 2 maca after my lunch and dinner. I used my progesterone cream once a day normally after my shower. Hopefully it's done the trick!

 

[Louloubelle84]

He said I'm good to go in about 6 weeks which is great news!

Hopefully you won't need that appointment on 14 July.

6 weeks is great news Syd. I'm sure it will fly by. Do you have anything g to distract you? Holiday? An event to plan etc?

Yeah I hope so to!

 

[MissCharli]

I have just bought some of this, is it best to start it at the beginning of a cycle or can I take it when I get it? My cycles are pretty irregular so I was hoping it would help with that!

 

[Syd43]

I've got loads going on and won't see my oh before then anyway so it's ok.

MissCharli, you can start take it at any time.

 

[Louloubelle84]

Oh that's good Syd it should fly by. Hope you recover well love and are taking it easy
