I was wondering that to jess,I googled it and spent hours reading reviews and arguments btwn ttc ladies(lol) but what I take away from it is that there really seems no risk with it and quite a few success stories :) <3

I used it in the past, but didn't notice any improvement, but I'm trying it again now along with other supplements (including FertiliTea) and diet changes (low carbohydrate and no caffeine--I recently learned that caffeine can increase estrogen which can exacerbate PCOS)... I've only been taking it for a week, but I feel like my libido is increased (Which is nice, because it has been nonexistant lately), and I have ovary pain (it's too soon for ovulation though and I'm not having any fertility signs like EWCM like I usually do).

Since I know my ovary is polycystic, I don't know if the pain is maybe improvement or a nice, healthy follicle developing (and maybe there's extra pressure because of all the small cysts)... HTH

Oh, lol, and you take it throughout your entire cycle, but stop if you get a BFP (or you can stop sooner if you suspect you will get a BFP).

I'm not sure about taking a prenatal along with it because it's pretty complete by itself... The only thing I can think of that you would really want to watch out for is that you don't get too much iron. I would maybe take Fertilaid from CD 1 until 7 dpo and then switch to prenatal. I would start as soon as you know you're not pregnant. I hope it works for you (or you get a BFP and don't even have to start it ;)

Just wanted to add, the herbs in Fertilaid ARE known to cause miscarriage, so if you even suspect you are pregnant, stop taking it!

I would think 7 dpo would be pretty good margin of safety... long enough to give you benefit after ovulation but soon enough to be out of your system by implantation. But, that's just my completely not professional opinion!

Thank you! I friended you so I can stalk your progress!! I'm 25 so we're about the same age.
