BCP, then one month's wait. Supplements?

Postby gille01 » Fri Apr 16, 2010

I spoke with my Dr today and she wants me to remain on the pill for another month (till the end of May) before I try an IUI (preferably natural) in June.
I am on BCP to deal with Endometriosis pain, that's all. Once I'm off in 35 days, I'm wanting to supplement.
What I have now is Maca, Spirulina and Chia Seeds along with prenatals and tea.

Is there any way I can use these now minus the maca?

If not, does it even make sense and will it do any good to use them for the time I will have without the pill and before the cycle? About a month?

I know BCPs and herbs were mentioned before, I just wanted to check with my specific situation to be sure.

ETA: Is there anything I can do now and during my wait that will be beneficial?


Thank you!

Hi gille01,

Boosting your overall health and fertility by choosing to eat better food and supplementing with your spriulina, chia seeds, ect. may be your best option while waiting. Diet has a huge impact on our overall health. If you would like to learn more ideas for eating for fertility go to this link: http://natural-fertility-info.com/fertility-diet

I cannot comment on your 'tea' because you did not say what is in it. Do not take the maca while on birth control.

Best Wishes,

Thanks for the advice! I should have mentioned that its red raspberry leaf tea. I'm thinking of switching to the Fertilitea from Fair Haven though for the month. Thanks again!

Red Raspberry should be fine. Not familiar with the other tea.

The tea has Chasteberry (vitex), Red raspberry leaf, green tea, ladies mantle, nettle leaf, peppermint leaf.

If I take maca after I finish with the pill, will that be fine? I'm planning to do a natural cycle late June.
