Inducing AF

bit late, but i made ginger tea and it brought on af, add a little aspartame and it tastes actually quite nice. parsley tea does the same, but i found drinking the ginger for a few days made me feel refreshed and clean! just peel and slice up a large chunk of ginger then simmer for 40 mins or so with lid on the pan. hth's

So sorry it's taken me so long!!! I've been really sick and a bit slow lately...

So, the ginger tea suggestion above is a great one!! Either ground ginger or whole ginger simmered and the sip like tea:) The Parsley suggestion is also great! Insert several sprigs twice daily:) Angelica root tincture is the last suggestion I have for you. 10drops, 3x a day. This is all taken from the book I mentioned.

Blue- it is a fabulous book! Cheap and useful! I've used it for 3 of my pregnancies and I love it:)
Keep us posted!!!

Also wanted to ask; What hormone is in play with sore bbs? Estrogen? I've never had sore bbs before af before until about a year ago. Now they ache for 5-7 days before af

Believe it or not, they don't know what causes the sore breasts and within my lifetime they used to tell women that cyclical breast pain was psychological.

Some research indicates that caffiene and calcium can contribute to it.

The interesting thing that I only just this minute realized is that when I am not breastfeeding I have terrible breast pain before AF and when I am breastfeeding, I don't have that pain with my cycles. That makes me think it could be even a physical pain that the milk flow is somehow relieving???
