Wheatgrass and other stuff

in Parenting after 35

Has anyone drank wheatgrass juice?

My first shot is sitting on my desk here at work. I sniffed it and I'm afraid. I'm doing this to lower my FSH, which is creeping up there. I'll also start back to acupuncture tomorrow. We have an appointment with an RE set for May 4th - so far away.

I want to have another baby so badly that I'm grasping at straws. Please, someone tell me I'm not crazy.

Havent' been around much but I lurk on my phone some. XO to you all!

    I don't think you are crazy at all - if that is what it would take for a BFP for me, I'd do it too.  Want me to hold my nose closed too when you drink it?  And tell us how it tastes - I've seen it, but have never tried it.

    I take wheatgrass tablets and sometimes mix the powder in to smoothies.  The color is intimidating enough, but the taste is just BLECH!  Be sure you have some kind of chaser for that shot!

    I have a full arsenal of vitamins and herbs I take to help with fertility.  I don't know if any of it really helps, but I figure it sure can't hurt.  Good luck to you!  I know that, one way or another, we both will have another baby!

    I drank some of it when I was TTC. It might have helped a lot, hard to say b/c I was taking other herbs too. Thanks for the reminder, I think I'll start taking some wheatgrass again. It tastes horrible but if you mix it with chocolate milk it's not too bad.

    Never tried it, but good luck!!! We used some vitamins (FertilAid) with Sarah and it worked easily, not with this one, we needed meds.

    I tried doing the powder mixed in a protein shake for several days and it made me very sick. I read up on it and it did say that some people experience nausea with it. I had to stop. Good luck! My SIL is using it and a bunch of other supplements trying to get PG.
