Research Natural Supplements

Cassava Root 
Step 1: Research Natural Supplements

 (There are many, these are just a few common ones)
  • Vitex - Suppose to help regulate irregular cycles.
  • Soy Isoflavones - Suppose to be similar to the fertility drug, clomid. Taken to help ovulation and possibly helps lengthen short luteal phases. May help women suffering from PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome).
  • Cassava Root - Suppose to increases fertility and chance for multiples.
My husband and I just wanted me to be able to get pregnant for a 3rd time and to have a healthy pregnancy, but twins would be a nice bonus if that happened too. The natural supplement I wanted to try was Cassava Root. Before I could take this supplement, I needed a professional opinion since I was planning on taking it while breastfeeding my second child along with taking Vitamin B6 and pre-natal vitamins. I wanted to make sure it was safe to take while breastfeeding and the two supplements  and my pre-natal vitamins wouldn't cancel each other, because they might have some of the same ingredients. From my online research it seems Cassava Root is suppose to be considered safe to take while breastfeeding and does not have any drug interactions with other drugs according to the supplement's website: www.cassanovum.com. However, like most natural supplements, there can be contradicting advice online and not enough information or studies done in the United States to prove their effectiveness and safety.

The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye.
