Question regarding olive leaf extract

[prettypinkprincessplease]

Hi ladies i just have 1 question about olive leaf extract, my partner has agreed to take a capsule only along with liquorice root, he refuses oil he things he will gag on it. I live in australia and found one that is a 1 capsule a day containing 3.5g (3,500mg) is that too much for a daily dose or is that two little?
Thank you in advance

That's too high. Maybe he can take one every other day, if you absolutely can't find anything else?

Hi I am also in Oz, my husband took the high strength ones, 3000 (along with licorice root also) although atomic did say it was probably too high a dose. I figured they would be OK as the bottle says it's a one a day formula. Haven't found out if my sway has worked yet though [emoji4]

Is the olive leaf really meant to help improve DH's sperm quality? Maybe I should've got my DH taking it but might be too late now as our attempt is in maybe 14 days time? Mamacas - good luck on your girl sway attempt. I hope you hear pink.

I believe OLE is used instead of cranberry, and with the HT ladies is ?giving better gender splits with more XX being produced?

Thankyou 1moregirl [emoji4]

So can olive leaf and cranberry be taken together? Or is advise its one or the other ? Thank ladies all this information is useful im really hanging out to get my hands on this information but with the risk the there may be some medical expenses involved soon i cant spend anything thats not a bill or food or kids stuff atm hahah xx

No it's OLE or cranberry for DH, not both together [emoji106]

Ok so dh is taking
Calcium
Magnesium (he needs this regardless swaying he suffers horrible cramps and these do help him)
Liquorice root 3×450mg a day
OLE ×1 per day
Vitamin C × 1 500mg (another thing he takes religiously regardless swaying)
Folic acid

Im taking
3× 250 mg calcium tablets
Magnesium same as dh i get calve muscle cramps
Vitamin C
Folic acid 1500
Cranberry
Peppermint tea 2-4 a day

I drink coffee relugiously
Our bd plan is to go once every 4 days with hopefully only 1 attempt in the fertile window the day after positive opk

I have no idea what foods to eat on the low everything diet because right now i cant financially spend any money Incase i do need medical intervention to pass the rest of this pregnancy.
So im stuck with the diet but im going to try and stick to my morning coffee no breakfast
Light yogurt as a snack
And thats all iv got so far because i dont know the foods
Anyway hopefully trying to catch the first egg in a few weeks
Is it true your more fertil after a misscarriage

Hi PrettyPink. I think it's recommended for girl sway to have one attempt on the day you get your first pos OPK. You can either do just this one attempt or as well as BD every 4 days. I'm not sure of the LE diet either sorry. Good luck for your attempt.

I dont know what to do in the bd department �� iv just miscarried so i dont know when im going to ovulate so i dont think il be able to time it very well to do 1 at ovulation and every 4 days from af i think itll all end up colliding on me and being a mess
