Hi Dr Fiona! I've been taking herbs, i.e. ashwagandha and turmeric curcumin. Are these safe to take in all phases of the menstrual cycle? I was reading somewhere that ashwagandha has some abortive properties if used in excess. But is also good for sleep and stress management, and sperm health. I'm also enjoying a super greens powder (ancient nutrition super greens) which we intend to use at least for 3 weeks, and it has a lot of herbs that are good for fertility. But needs to be checked by a medical practitioner if safe for pregnancy. It's really good though, my husband and I are enjoying it a lot. You're absolutely correct about a lot of things not on text book. Appreciate you sharing a lot of information to us! 😘

Just finished week 2! Really interesting insights about topics that are not openly discussed related to fertility, sperm and sex. Thanks for this @Dr Fiona Tassoni

For women over-40 a recent scientific paper in the National Library of Medicine and Center for Biotechnology Information clearly demonstrates a natural pregnancy success story after an unsuccessful IVF outcome. Notwithstanding Diminished Ovarian Reserve and multiple Uterus Fibroids, and all with the use of Chinese Herbs. Unnecessary IVF is a physical and emotional drain on the body and a huge financial drain on the family unit. In contrast, a holistic approach using Chinese Herbal Medicine offers a low-cost, safe and enjoyable alternative to IVF. Just because your physician claims you need IVF, does not in any way suggest it is always true or accurate! Always ask your physician what percentage of the IVF cost he is pocketing! Then question his response!
