Try Natural Supplements

Disclaimer:
 Do your research first!

I first tried natural supplements while breastfeeding my first and trying to conceive my second. The big one you might hear about for irregular menstrual cycles and possibly helping a postpartum menstrual cycle start is vitex! When trying to conceive my second, I did not take vitex, because I  heard good and bad things about it. Also my gynecologist did not give me information to help me with my choice. Mainstream healthcare professionals generally don't give / have / support information about natural supplements, because natural supplements do not always have enough case studies and are not usually FDA approved in the US. I am also told vitex is not safe to take while pregnant and some studies even say while breastfeeding. I have known some women who took vitex and got pregnant fairly quickly though. My husband and I remained on the fence, because we would have like there to be more information to make a more informed decision. However, the nurse at my OBGYN and a pharmacist , did tell me it was okay to take Vitamins B6 and Vitamin C while nursing. I heard about trying Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C, because on my online mommy group, one gal had posted about a case study that showed women taking the Vitamin C and Vitamin E helped the women get pregnant.

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. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.
