My whole family goes to a chiropractor who is holistic and prescribes herbs often along with adjustments. I have seen great success in everything he's done (especially for my 8 year old!), but we are doing a natural cycle FET in August or Sept. and for some reason, I just don't have peace about using herbs in preparation for my cycle or during the month of transfer. Does anyone have any input on this at all? Thanks, Sandra
ps: I believe the sort of herbs he would be putting me on would be ones to regulate my estrogen/progesterone balance, but am not certain.

Can't give ya much input as I have not went down the road of IVF. I'll be going down the road of herbs here very soon. My last 2 periods have been basically nothing and the clomid I had been on for 6 cycles have dried me up. I be real interested to see the herb combination my doc will have me on. She was very positive about getting my CM back and my period back.

Good LucK...

i will google this question with all my might to try to get an answer for you. have you asked the ivf girls this question and if you can find out the names of the herbs the doc wants you to use that will halp me in finding an answer for you.

everything that i have found says that you should stop using herbs once you have ovulated or have found out that you are pregnant. again to truely know if it is safe i would need to know what herbs you will be taken ( if you decided to do so).

but to be 100% safe talk to your doc that is doing the ivf before starting/stopping meds/herbs.

it is safe to drink some herbal teas. and i would sujest a good massage or accupuncture (sp) session.

all the best of luck to you!
