**TTC with Maca** ~ Spring 2010 - Page 5

[shy]

Well, I am thinking ahead (wishful thinking ...) and I have a question for your ladies.

If I do get pg, do I keep on taking Maca? I have plenty of it and have no problem eating it. If it helped with progesterone issues then I assume I need to take it at least till second trim. Theoretically I guess there is no problem taking it indefinitely since it is just a root. Still, anyone have any other ideas / insights / experiences?

We are also going to TTC with Maca..! Today is going to be our first day taking it actually..! I hope it can regulate my loooong cycles.. and hopefully increase hubby's sperm count & health (he is pretty overweight)

I was also wondering about continuing to take it after pregnancy I think I remember reading that it was fine but I am *not* 100% sure..

I might continue to take it during pg. It doesn't sound like contains any actual hormones or has the power to dramatically change a person's hormones.

I've been on it almost a month now and the results have been pretty good. I ovulated on CD 16 which never happens to me. My temps have been really flat. A couple things I noticed, and I might decrease my dose because of this, but I've had no CM or libido, low temps and was really irritable after O. All very strange for me or maybe it's a co incidence.

I'm back to report that after almost a year and a half of TTC I got pregnant after 1 month on maca!

Congrats Shy & MoonStar!!! That is awesome!

Finnegansmom You can take me off the list. I decided to quit the Maca, because after 3 months..well, it had only made my long cycles longer, and I had even less libido than normal, and less CM..so for whatever reason it just wasn't for me.

Still, i am super excited it is working for some people. Good luck everybody : )

Updated to here.

This is my third cycle on maca, hope 3rd times a charm.
My cycles are definately more regular and I got an + OPK today on CD 14 which is unheard of for me.

Hi, I'm new here, and have been taking maca to help with ttc for about 2 weeks now.
Does anyone still take the maca? Any more success stories?
