This sounds great! I read that some women have lost weight with it, is that true? I would love to try this but I'm afraid to take it if it'll make me lose weight. Otherwise this sounds pretty amazing as far as health benefits.

Morning Girls

BellaBlu...Come join us hun! Where did you read about weightloss chick...I haven't heard of that....but certainly wouldn't complain

Marrissa_E...Hi Honey...Hope you're feeling fab and escaping some of the yuckier first tri symptoms I did consider the powder but thought there was probably no way that DH would take it The capsules that I bought are 500mg and it says on the pot to take between 2-6 a day...I'm taking 4 at the moment to see...it's got quite a lot of work to do thou with my crazy cycles so I'll review it at the end of next cycle and may increase to the 6 a day. Did you have problems with your cycle when you started taking it?

SBB, Holly...MummyIwanabe....How are you all doing today?

My temps still haven't risen that much....maybe O will be today???
I guess it gives us another couple of days to bd...DH was tired last night

Right then I'm off to sort our Pickle out ready for school and then to make a new banner as the one I made last night seems to have disappeared

Hopefully catch you all later....

I'm sad at the moment. Don't know if you noticed on other threads WelshRose but my OH had a SA come back and got 2% morphology. That's not good and we're hoping to perhaps do another test. gota book appointment with our new GP tomorrow.

Been doing so much reading on it all and its a bit overwhelming! I'm hoping Maca will improve our odds but at the moment our odds aren't looking too great

Oh Babe...I'm so sorry...I hadn't seen your other threads

I hope you don't mind me asking but how long was it inbetween the last bd session and when he done the sample?....Just a thought as I read somewhere that when ttc it's important not to leave anymore than 7 days inbetween each ejaculation. This helps to keep the lil guys fresh and remove the chances of older poorer quality ones from the ejaculate.
I hope it's a simple answer like this and the next sample will be better hun. Is he ok?

I'm sure the maca will help Hun....There's been fab results that other ladies have reported and no reason to believe that you guys are gonna be any different...I've also heard that taking zinc is particularly good for the lil guys.

Sending huge hugs Petal....try and keep that chin up....you know where I am if you fancy a rant/cry etc.... xxx

Hi Welshrose, thanks for the new banner - I like it!!

I ordered the wrong bloody ovulation sticks online, I got normal clearblue, and I need the digital ones! I have poas last 2 days, and they give a positive, but i'm not sure the line is dark enough... It's so much easier with the digi's..
I don't have any ewcm yet so don't know if i'm about to Ov or not! will BD anyway just in case...
I have ordered the right ones now but they might come too late! No temp rise this am...

MummyIwanabe sorry to hear your news wasn't great from the docs... It's so difficult finding out things that are going to make it so much harder to get pregnant... I hope if you do another test the results will be a lot better, and the Maca will help

I agree re the powder form of Maca, no way my OH would take that (well at least not without complaining about it a lot!) need to make sure he takes the tabs... and apparently it's best not to take them in the evening because they can give you a bit of an energy rush...

Glad you like the banner SBB

I bought tesco's own this month and cb digi ones and actually ended up preferring to agonise over lines ...the cb digi kept coming up with error msgs...and I'm 100% certain I was doing it right...
I thought I'd probably be O yesterday going by my chart but the rise this morning was nothing significant and now I have watery cm and right side ovary pain.....what was that about maca giving an energy rush....I'll be forcefeeding it to my DH later

Thanks Welshrose and SBB.

It was 6 days since BD that the sample was taken. A lot of people on here are saying that's too long although the doc said between 3-7 is fine. I'm praying that's the reason maybe but who knows, we have a long road ahead I expect

Welsh, I read it on Amazon in the customer reviews of the powder form I believe, it may have been one of the capsules though.. I cant' remember.

Thanks for that honey
I have a little extra padding so I'm not going to complain...but for all you lovely ladies that don't want to lose any weight...it may be something to look into.
It certainly doesn't say anything on the pot of capsules that I've got...althou it does say that "in recent years Maca has become a popular supplement for atheletes as it increases endurance and may help to build and tone muscle mass"....I should imagine that you have to have a lifestyle and diet to support this thou...
Maybe this will spur me on to replace my scale batteries and snack on a ryevita

Love the new Avatar BTW..
