Is it ok to drink RLT & take Clomid? If so, for how long is it ok to take to it for? Also, does the tea sway pink or blue? Thanks!

I hope atomic will chime in here since I am no expert but I did drink RRLT while on clomid and I know of a few other ladies who did. It's not safe to drink it in the 2ww so you should stop drinking it after O, that's what I did. It also doesn't bring you any benefits after O but might lead to a miscarriage. As far as I know it sways blue but of course it would sway blue more for a fully fertile woman than for someone who is struggling with fertility. Meeks is pregnant with a girl and she did drink it, while on clomid btw ;).

Thanks Pumpkin, I just want to give my best shot with my second round on Clomid and that's why I thought of RLT combined with Clomid and full fat dairy/eggs. But not sure if it sways blue or for how long to take it.?

It is generally not recommended to use RRLT while taking Clomid because the hormonal effects may cancel out some of the Clomid. (long story short, the RRLT may raise estrogen and when you're on Clomid you want estrogen blocked). But I do know some people who have gotten pg while doing both of them. I would not take the RRLT when I was actively taking the pills, that's for sure.

We aren't sure how RRLT might sway, the theory is that it would sway blue because it raises estrogen but we do not have a study that shows anything.

My concern is that if you really truly need supplemental estrogen, then get some Estrace, it will work a heck of a lot better than the RRLT.

BTW I think Meeks had been on Clomid for quite some time before she started drinking it
