supplement help

[lindi]

so I am only taking vitex AF-O

which of these should I only take AF-O as well? PS I am NOT TTC this month and NO fear of accidentally being pg

B6
Calcium/Mag
Cran
licorice + white peony
fiber capsules
folic acid
cayenne pepper capsules

thanks!

Cranberry should be stopped at O as it can cause miscarriage. B6, cal/mag, folic acid and fiber are all ok to continue after O.
Not sure about the licorice or cayenne pepper.

[lindi]

great. will do next month. this month no ttc

[atomic sagebrush]

I wouldn't take licorice or cayenne during the 2WW and everything else I totally agree with Crystal!

[lindi]

well cayenne might help with implantation? I could stop it around 7 DPO? I only take half of whats recommended on the bottle

[atomic sagebrush]

I have no evidence against cayenne, and it does promote circulation and blood flow. I just say "don't take during 2 WW" because the safety is unknown.

You ~may~ want to wean yourself off the cayenne and not just quit cold turkey, so start taking less and less. It's probably ok, but obviously it's best to err on the side of safety.

[lindi]

hm. can't really wean I'm taking the smallest dose- maybe every other day? would that make a difference?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, that does make a difference. Then you can do two days, three, etc.

Sorry to interrupt this thread, So what is the purpose of taking fiber supps? thanks

[atomic sagebrush]

Fiber will help carry fat, cholesterol, and fat soluble vitamins A and D out of your body and also help with the constipation that a lot of girl dieters have.

I need to edit and add this to the girl supps but I haven't yet.
