Wild Yam Cream

[Witchypoo]

Was wondering if anyone has used Mexican Wild Yam Cream (dioscorea villosa)? I bought some from my Health Food shop after reading that it encourages the production of progesterone which is helpful for Luteal Phase Defects (which I have). It's meant to help the pregnancy stick. I used it for the first time last cycle for about the last 4 days and I believe I may have had an early M/C as My AF was extremely heavy and painful and soooooooooo different to usual. It was more like a haemorrhage and then stopped abruptly.

Anyway....has anyone used it? The one I have (Biogest) actually has progesterone in it too.

Yep I used this natural form of progesterone and it worked for me second cycle. I used the one called gestone from my chiro. It helps to promote a longer luteal phase and with the production of fertile cm. Great stuff!!!!

This is interesting!:)

Ive only ever heard of it coz my mother in law uses it as she is going through menopause pretty bad - like 12 years now!!! Poor woman!

Hi kezzaskids!

Thanks for your reply. It's great that you had success using it! Can I ask when in your cycle did you use it? Also did you use it once or twice a day and did you change the site where you rubbed the cream in?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm excited!

Thanks!

I used it from the day A/F stopped to the day it started again. I rubbed it into different spots but really just whatever fat I came across at the time. Tummy,bum,top of arms theighs etc and twice a day. When you get your bfp do not stop using it for 12 weeks!!!!

Thanks a lot for that advice kezzaskids. I will put it into action ASAP. I hope you're doing well with your pregnancy - not long to go now!
