Hello, I am 37 years old and ttc with stage 2 endometriosis. I have had 2 laparoscopic surgeries and hysteroscopy with polyp removal. It’s been nearly a year since my last surgery and I’m still suffering with debilitating pain. I’ve tried nearly everything from herbs and supplements to acupuncture, castor oil packs, yoga and meditation. We are currently undergoing IUI with femara and ovidrel trigger shots. I have taken vitex, maca, wobenzym n and recently active bee power. I read some conflicting information about combining herbs with fertility meds, therefore I was wondering what your opinion was on taking maca and active bee power superfoods with femara and ovidrel? I stopped the vitex.
Hello Sara!
I’m sorry you still live with the pain!
We can not suggest combining herbs or fertility superfoods like Maca and Royal Jelly that have the potential to impact hormonal balance with prescription medications that do that same unless your doctor approves and is willing to guide you in combining them. It is not known hot the two will interact… and wouldn’t want to interfere with the purpose of the medications during a medical procedure.
Should you moved beyond IUI and wish to support the body naturally (in the absence of pregnancy) consider learning about the benefits Black Cohosh has to offer for those with menstrual cycle pain and uterine health.
My best to you!
