Trouble TTC

FertilAid?

Anyone use this? There is a men's and women's formula. A co-worker of mine told me her daughter struggled with IF for years and started taking this and got pregnant almost right away. She said it worked for her with both of her pregnancies. I've never heard of it before.

  • I'm skeptical about any of the OTC stuff that claims to help you get pregnant. I imagine if it was the miracle people claim it is everyone would be taking it. My RE and OB specifically told me not to take any vitamins or herbs without first consulting them because some can cause more harm than good. I'd ask your Dr about it if it's something you are considering.
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • I took FertilAid about 2 years ago and it kinda messed me up.  I had bleeding for over 3 weeks and a pretty large cyst, I ended up taking a large BCP regimen to get back on track, like 4 pills a day for a week then 2 pills a day for a week, then 1 pill per day for 2 week. My OB at the time said a lot of these companies prey on women desperate to have a baby. After seeing my RE for the first time and mentioning FertilAid to him he said the same thing.  I still have 3 full bottles in my bathroom cabinet that I refuse to take.

    My husband is taking the men's formula along with fish oil. Figured it couldn't hurt! 

    We are planning another SA after he takes it for a little while to see if it makes a difference. I will let you know!
