Hi Trying5,

I read when endlessly researching about my own fertility that the claim is will naturally improve your progesterone level and so improve your uterine lining. I wanted evidence base for the supplements and changes I made, and there really isn’t any evidence to support wild yam actually working. If you want some information on the things that have some evidence behind them I can recommend the book It Starts with the egg, it’s quite full on but I made a number of changes based on the suggestions in it.

I hope this helps :)

Thanks for replying.... I bought wild yam root as I read one article but then couldnt find anything else.... I'm being pedantic and over thinking everything as this is the second time I am going through treatment xxxx

I’m exactly the same - my bathroom cupboard is heaving with pills and potions I saw mentioned. It’s difficult to not buy into the hope they offer! Xx
