My Hormone Levels and Not Conceiving!

[purplepoet20]

My estrogen is beyond normal levels and my testosterone and progesterone are in the not able to conceive levels.

The OB Dr said "Avoid certain herbs. Some teas and beauty products will increase your estrogen levels. Examples of these are blue cohosh, licorice, vitex, hops, motherwort leaf, saw palmetto berry, rhodiola rosea root, red clover blossom, dong quai, black cohosh, lavender and tea tree oil." Because they can affect hormones in many different ways. I have only taken Vitex and Saw Palmetto.

I have been given a prescription for cream and 400mg of b6 vita. Will it still sway pink?

Is it ok to give up Vitex and Saw Palmetto and still get a girl?

Hey Purple, I would go ahead and do it....you ain't getting a girl if you can't even conceive. From what I remember, old swaying lore has b6 and prg cream swaying pink also. I think these are really minor factors in swaying, though. I hope your levels get back to normal and you get a little bean soon. XXOO

I agree with Lola- if you can't get pregnant, you can't get a girl anyway!

I agree too about dropping the Vitex and Saw Palmetto, your hormone levels might slowly rise and be enough to conceive but still in girl sway zone for your november attempt, FX

Yes, you absolutely can give up vitex and SP and get a girl. Most of the girls ever conceived were to people who aren't taking them. In fact, two people who I know well stopped taking vitex and got pg with a girl the next month.

Hey, I'm bummed tho, I feel bad that you're going through this. But I REALLY appreciate you letting us know this because it's going to help a lot of people.

Q if you have half a sec - did he mean that your T and P levels were too low to conceive?? So it was like your body just quit making them and started making massive amounts of estrogen instead??

I hope you can get your levels back to normal range so you can TTC and get that BFP!

My test were normal months ago (4?) but I think they changed when I stopped nursing and increased the herbs. My LP seems to have been short all along so I hope that will change.

Wow, that's really weird. Makes me wonder about the SP.

that things are back to normal soon.

It is really weird because I spent the day looking at diet and hormones. I was just saying to my DH that I was really irritable and I think it is due to a high level of testosterone.
I just bought vitex and macasure. I won't use both but I was wondering if anyone had heard of macasure? It is from Peru and it is supposed to balance hormones naturally.
