Question

What does a two day heavy period mean? Advice please.

I've been on fertilaid for three weeks. TTC and I am 32. I had two chemical pregnancies in six months without trying. Now we are trying. I got my period right on time. It came very heavy, I was bleeding through my clothes for two days. On the third day it just stopped. I assume that it was the fertilaid pills. But now it is day for of my cycle and no bleeding but cramping horribly. BFN this morning. I feel pregnant, my boobs are huge and hurting. I'm slobbering and thirsty. Very tired all day. Backaches are debilitating. Headaches are migraine status. What is up with me? I also take baby asprins daily. Anyone else have this?

No idea. Could be any number of things. Suggest you go to your doctor for advice. If you have been bleeding heavily, it might be a good idea to avoid the aspirin, which thins your blood, unless you have been prescribed this. It is possible that something is wrong. I would consider coming off the Fertilaid and swapping it for a multivitamin that does not contain all those herbal supplements. I don't know what they all do, but gingko will affect your blood supply. That alone could account for the intense bleeding and headache. If you have a condition and want to try herbal medicine, go to a specialist. We are all different and there isn't a 'blanket' treatment that will work for everyone.


5 years TTC. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Surgery. 2 IVFs. No joy. Low ovarian reserve. Is there any real hope? DE IVF = next step. Much higher success rates, but so used to things not working, it's hard to feel too hopeful. Wishing others an easier time.

I would blame the Fertilaid for the heavy bleeding, sore bbs and headaches.The vitex (chasteberry) in fertilaid can upset your cycle if you already have a regular one. Vitex is only for people with irregular or missing periods I would just use a prenatal (multivitamin) and stop the Feritlaid.
