DH taking licorice root

Anyone's DH take this? I heard it might have some side effects. Can you comment? Does your DH only take it for 2 weeks each month (from AF to O)?

My DH took it, we are in the 2ww now after our first attempt, so I can't speak to it's effectiveness yet. He did not seem to have any issues. He only took it for 2 weeks from AF to O. If anything I would say it made him a little bit calmer, he is a pretty testosterone driven military guy, and he seemed a tad more relaxed while taking it. That could just be coincidence though ;)

My dh is taking it. this will be the 4th month. Sometimes I wonder if its the reason why its taking so long. He's been taking 2 a day and he just recently cut it back to 1 tab. He hasn't noticed a difference but we did notice a change when we bd 10 days in a row with our first attempt; he really counldn't keep up! I know that its making a change in his sperm so thats why he's going to keep taking it. Somtimes I think about taking it out of our sway but i'm gonna hold on for another couple of attemps before we re-examin things. Hope this helps.

My husbands on it for two months now af to o and his been fine so far

I have heard to only take it from AF-O b/c DH body needs that 2 week break

Yes, it has side effects - it causes high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, and messes up your electrolytes when taken for too long. Nobody with heart or kidney disease should be taking it. But as long as he takes it only from AF-O and gives himself a break from O-AF, then it is fine.

My hubby took it for our sway. We both noticed a difference. He was way more mellow. He did not wake in the morning with only one thing on his mind (KWIM). He could barely keep up with frequent bd. Sometimes I wish he was still taking it. ;)

I know, sometimes I read these threads and wonder how I can smuggle some into my husband's food!!!
