Fertilaid

Lou32 · Oct 16th, 2009, 13:01 PM

Hi there! I've heard great stories about Fertilaid (for men and women) but it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere in the UK (other than ebay). Anyone know where you can buy it from? Or indeed anything better?

I have fertilaid and while I was taking it, my doctor advised me from taking it because there are different kinds of vitamins in it that you shouldn't take after ovulation and also it isn't approved by the FDA so she strongly advised against it. I have since stopped taking it. I also had a friend who continued to take it and it completely messed up her cycles. She took it for 7 months and her cycles were all over the place and it took her 6 months to get her body back on track. I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this product.
Good luck and I hope you get your

very soon!

Really? There's such conflicting information out there it's confusing...What's the FDA?
My doctor in the UK advised against taking any vitamins other than folic acid, but I've been taking Sanatogen ones as everyone else seems to take vitamins.... It's more the Fertilaid for Men I'm interested in really. I've trawled the internet and can't seem to find any negative stories about them, only great stories.
I ordered some from ebay but I've been waiting over two weeks now and they've still not arrived, which is reeeeeeally frustrating as we got a bad SA and I'm counting on this Fertilaid to make them swim! I can't seem to find Fertilaid for sale anywhere else, which is really annoying.

Hiya

have a look at the ingredients - the main ingredient is vitex which you can buy much cheaper elsewhere. I agree with jonnane though - shouldn't be taken after ov as can cause minor womb contractions x

Oh - my oh has tried spermamax - has l-arginine in it ame as ferilaid but much cheaper! His count has increased x

Lou32 · Oct 16th, 2009, 16:07 PM

Might have a look at that. He's been on Wellman, but I took a look at the ingredients and it isn't as strong as it could be and I think he needs something much stronger to improve the motility. His count is good, but they're no good if they can't swim!
I was weighing up getting the Zita West ones or Fertilaid, but the rave reviews about Fertilaid for Men made me want to try them first....

sorry - I think I meant L-carnitine. Can't remember the name now. That is the ingredient research has shown to work - along with zinc. Maca is good too - all of those are in spermamax. I say don't go with the advertising - go with what is in the pills. If the ingredients are the same it will do the same job! xxx

Hi Lou

We had a very low count last year and DH takes wellman, maca and vit c - his count has doubled the last do SA's and we are due another test next month.

If you have a look at Zita Wests book or online site she lists everything you should take vitamin wise for healthy sperm and eggs - it's a good starting point to follow.

Don't buy stuff off the internet - you really don't know what you are getting and could end up in a worse situation

rachelle1975 · Oct 16th, 2009, 16:55 PM

Lou - sorry, Zita West ones are really overpriced and contain the same ingrediants as Wellman - good luck x

Sorry I didn't respond yesterday. The FDA is the food and drug administration here in the states and all medicines have to pass certain requirements, testing, and regulations before let out into the public. Fertilaid is one of them that hasn't gone though the FDA. But most vitamins/herbal supplements don't. But giving the ingredients and the reviews I have heard and my own experience, I wouldn't use the womans fertilaid. As far as the mens goes, I did purchase that too, but I have done research and I have read that zinc is a good vitamin to increase the mans sperm.
Has your DH has a SA done to show low sperm?
I hope that I have helped a little. Good luck!
