Yahoo! Answers FAIL & Raspberry Leaf Question

CashewsMommy · February 2012

After not trying a whole lot of stuff since we went med free, I decided to give Raspberry Leaf tea a try to bring AF as well as even out some of my cycles. So i'm giving Dr. Google a quick run through before bringing any questions about experience here.

Well, Yahoo! Answers gave me a great laugh.

The question was: Has anyone had any personal success by choking down 3 cups a day?

And this was one of the answers: Yes it does but it could takke up 5 months to work so if i were u i would also use vitex drops.this works faster thn the tea alone maybe 2- 3 months also wh do u knw the lenght of ur cucle if u do try using progesterone pills a few days b4 u O if ur trying for a girl i would start 5 days b4 u O and do ur baby dance then. (boy the day of O or the following days) and also take a Ept to see if u should continue taking the progesterone pills(u can take it up t 38wks to avoid a mc. also u take the raspberry tea after u get ur period and stop when u get ur period or a bfp that goes for the vitex aswell.

Wow. That is just an epic fail!!! I feel like calling her up and saying "Oh honey!".

Anyways, I'm continuing my Dr. Google search. But while i'm looking things up, does anyone have any experience? Do I really have to drink 3-4 cups daily?? That would mean each package I bought would only last 4 days! That seems like an awful lot!

When I tried it, I only drank two cups because the 3-4 seemed like so much. I did get AF fairly soon after starting, but I don't know if it was the tea or if it was just time. Good luck!

I know! 3-4 seems like an awful lot.

Did you drink it after AF? Did it help your cycles?

I know!!! And I love how she adds in there taking up to 38 weeks too. LOL

Did if help your cycles? I honestly don't mind the taste.... it's a little bland and leaves a flat taste, but it'll be worth it if it works.

Wow. :::shivers::::

Why does the universe accept people who write dumb *** like that and not the smart baby that I would make?!?!

Good luck Steph. I'm not bleeding yet either - so maybe whatever you find here might help me too.

Oh my Surprise

I used to drink it and I noticed zero difference, but I also only had 1 maybe 2 cups at the most per day. I actually tried it because a friend who got KU gave me her leftovers!

Yes its bland and leaves a gross taste in my mouth... Yes it did, i only wish i started taking it sooner after my ectopic, i think i may have stopped bleeding and spotting sooner... But I had a 24 day cycle after my D&C and i think it was directly related to the tea....

Wow - just wow.

I tried the tea, but didn't drink it on any consistent basis. My cycles have gotten a lot better, but I'm pretty sure it's the acu - although the tea certainly didn't hurt! I hope it works for you!

Wow, it's amazing how dumb some people are. I've used raspberry tea in the past to bring af on, I had about 2-3 cups a day.
