Pregnitude + Cassava root?

Hi everyone, I've been on and off the TTC train for the past year. I stopped my BCP in February last year, it was a combo and gave me a ton of issues including atopic dermatatis (which decided to stick around even after I stopped the pill.) Anyways, it messed me up royally and I have no one to blame, but myself. I got my first period sometime in May and have had maybe 4 or 5 since then. I've been spotting for the last 24 days now. The previous periods were long too, but the flow was extreme for 7-8 days. I know that you may say to go to the doctor.

I have to say I have NOT been good to myself this past year, skipping breakfast every day (intermittent fasting), hardly working out, copious amounts of stress, etc. Things have evened out in the past month and I'm getting back on the train. I hope that my ovulation was just off due to me not taking care of myself (I can get pregnant, have 2 girls.) So now I'm back to tracking, taking OPK tests, I'm on the HE diet since a week ago.

I'm taking RAW prenatals, folate 2000mcg (but I think it's making me a bit loopy), CoQ10, drinking tea, honey, bee pollen, propolis, and cut down to 1 cup of coffee, cut out energy drinks (I drank like 3 per day), back to working out with weights and low cardio. I'm 160 lbs (my heaviest I've ever been) and I'm 5'9", so BMI 23.6 is a high normal.

Question is this: If I'm not ovulating and my hormones are out of whack, could I take Pregnitude to kick the things off and maybe couple it with cassava root to help it sway more blue? I'm sure that the biggest reason I had 2 girls before was my diet and only 1 attempt in the O window. I didn't know any better, so delayed and restrained my poor hubby.

I'm a bit obsessive and looked at the reviews of people who have taken Pregnitude on Amazon and tracked the boy vs girl ratio (when mentioned) and it seemed 50/50, even with a couple extra boys.

Thank you in advance :) And yes, I am in process of getting a full pan.

I WILL say go to the doctor, LOL. That is not right and we need to see what is going on from the inside here.

BUT I have some inkling about what we need to change. first of all DO NOT under any circumstances throw pregnitude and cassava onto this. No way, no how. Not only will pregnitude sway pink (our results show that it does; many of the people taking it online are taking tons of other things to help boost fertility, all of which sway blue, plus many of them have PCOS which sways blue, so that 50-50 is misleading) I believe at least part of the issue is the bee pollen and propolis. I have seen these things mess up cycles for tons of people and I want you to wean off of them immediately. I have a pretty big suspicion that is the cause of at least some of our trouble. If you are drinking green tea, stop and drink only black tea (just regular old tea) because green tea has messed up cycles for people as well.

I would personally wean from the RAW prenatals to Women's One a Day but it's not as bad as some of the herbal prenatals if you prefer to continue it. I do think the extra ingredients in the RAW may be making your flow heavier but the messed up cycle is either something going on either from coming off the BCP or due to the bee pollen and propolis (or both)

I want you here and now to focus on eating better and exercising. I know it's boring LOL but the very best way to control things in your cycle is via diet and exercise.

Thank you atomic, but I should have been specific - I just started bee pollen and propolis this week. I have not been taking any up until 4 days ago. I haven't been doing anything for my ovulation or lack of thereof until last 2 weeks. Mainly because I wasn't too concerned with trying to get pregnant due to heavy work load. This last period wasn't heavy at all, but mostly spotting here and there for about 2 weeks after the AF should have left. Plus, I do have some concerns about possibly having mild PCOS. I submitted the questionnaires and I detailed stuff there, so no reason to repeat myself :)

I wondered if you might say that. Then all the more reason to RUN not walk to the doctor because you should be way recovered from the BCP at this point.

I have your questionnaires and will get your plan back to you ASAP.
