I have read the herbal/lowering testosterone thread, and have a question:
"*Saw Palmetto - Make sure to buy only the standardized dosage of 320 mg, and take one pill a day, AF through O only, even in months when you are not TTC. Under NO circumstances take SP during pregnancy or the 2WW. We believe that SP lowers testosterone, lowers estrogen, and raises progesterone. Do not take if you are taking Clomid. "
My question is, can I take it the months BEFORE I start the sway, and not take it while on the clomid? Will that help my chances or hurt? I really believe I have high testosterone so I want to lower as much as I can. Thanks!

Yes, you can do that BUT since Clomid is messing with your hormones anyway, it may make more sense to take nothing in the months leading up to taking Clomid because you want your body to be functioning normally.
Not enough people have done it for us to know how it affects your chances, unfortunately.
I would pick Clomid in a heartbeat over any of the herbs.!!! Questions??
