Anecdotal evidence about women taking it to help stay pregnant and carry to full term, but no real studies that say that it's safe. But it is supposed to help maintain hormones and it's a food, so personally, I don't think there would be a huge issue.<BR/><BR/>It's all bloody confusing after a while once you start looking at what you can and can't take. Essential oils are breaking my head at the moment.<BR/><BR/>And I hope you don't mind me spamming you with comments. I just find the whole process fascinating, and I really want it all to work for you :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776559079167234976.post-22590221993443091622009-03-27T07:01:00.000-04:002009-03-27T07:01:00.000-04:00No, you aren't nosy! supplements include the stan...No, you aren't nosy! supplements include the standard line up of pre-natal multivitamin, vitamin D, iron, and B complex.<BR/><BR/>i've added in 75mg DHEA (for poor ovarian reserve), fish oil (to replace the flax seed oil -- fish oil is recommended for fertility), and evening primrose oil (from CD 1 through ovulation only - increases fertile cervical mucus). Plus the maca and from the acupuncturist, we have "Gui Shao Di Huang Tang, phase 2" to be taken from first day of clomid (CD3) through ovulation.<BR/><BR/>good point you raised on the maca. i haven't done any research or reading on it, so that will be my non-coffee break internet research today.The Single Hussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08586124598758747789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776559079167234976.post-22798431017263843522009-03-26T23:08:00.000-04:002009-03-26T23:08:00.000-04:00I'm so happy that things seem to be going well :) ...I'm so happy that things seem to be going well :) What supplements are you taking (I am nosy!)?<BR/><BR/>And a random question - I know you're taking maca.
