Fertibella ConceiveEasy??

I've been doing some PCOS research on the web, this ConcieveEasy kit keeps popping up.  It has wonderful reviews (maybe too good to b true). Anyone heard of this or used it??

It is probably to good to be true, if not, we'd all be using it. However, since I have wonky cycles I am using natural supplements, but only under my doctors supervision

I am suspicious of supplements other than a multivitamin or PNV. Trying things like green yea, which are typically consumed by people other than those TTC is one thing. But I'm not trying anything else without a doctor telling me too.

I tried looking up the ingredients on their website, and they are not available. That is pretty suspicious, in my opinion.  However, I found a blog of someone who purchased it, and here is a list of ingredients with a description:

Having read through the ingredients, I will say that quite a few of them are in the herbs that my acupuncturist has given me. That being said, I would never take them without any direction from a doctor or health professional. My acupuncturist has extensive training in herbal medicine, so I trust her.

In addition, there is one ingredient that I know has caused problems for women who take it without the guidance of a health professional, and that is vitex. I have seen too many women on this board and others say that they have taken vitex, only to have it mess up their cycle. This is because it acts on your hormones, and it can cause more harm than good.  

In your shoes, I would discuss any supplements with a doctor or other health professional before taking them, considering they can do more harm than good.

I would definitely clear it with a competent doctor before consuming vitex and dehydrated sheep thyroid.

Hi there. MyTTCJournal.com is my blog! Glad you found it!

I was diagnosed with PCOS and was able to get pregnant using Fertibella. It took me 2 months. I am a holistic health nut and was very wary about using the Metformin/Birth Control my doctor recommended. It is good to seek a doctor's counsel, but keep in mind that they make more money by referring you to more tests and having you back in for additional check-ups. That was my experience anyhow. 

For me, personally, the Vitex in Fertibella was good for reducing the amount of bleeding I had and for encouraging me to ovulate more often. I used a basal body thermometer and chart, which was helpful in tracking my progress. Here's an article on PCOS supplements you may find interesting: https://www.conceiveeasy.com/get-pregnant/pcos-supplements . 

Good luck with your decision!
