estrogen yams

m sure with all the Yams and the yummi food there is in the list we will beat it and get your estrogen as it should be!!!! You are going to be a wonderful Mom.hang in there!

It sounds like an allergic reaction, and it might not be to the estrogen in the yams but to the junk in the cream. I'd just try a lot of baths, and toss the darn cream in the trash. Hyperplasia is an overgrowth of new cells on top of what was there. What you've got is swelling of what was there already.

I think if you are ready mentally to try again the RE will be OK with it. I have read that yams help estrogen levels but not sure if it is true or not.

Has anyone taken over-the-counter estrogen? Did you find that it worked just as good as the prescription estrogen, better or worse? Thanks.

Has she has her thyroid checked? That's a common cause of the weight gain and possibly, hot flushes returning or getting worse after 10 years. Also to mention that a weight gain of so much weight also can be a cause of a heightening of the hot flushes. Fat stores estrogen and it's believed that estrogen is partially to blame for the hot flushes.

It has natural estrogen like effects. You might try natural sources of omega fatty acids for mood, like freshwater fish, such as salmon and tuna, walnuts and macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseed. You might try flaxseed or if you aren't troubled by the fishy aftertaste, enteric coated fish oil capsules. Sam-E by naturemade is a helpful mood booster. Those hormonal changes can make it easy to put on the pounds.

especially, natural progesterone (made from natural mexican wild yams that mimic progesterone). You can also speak to a pharmacist from a "compounding pharmacy" to see what there may be in terms of your history. Better yet, speak to your doc about this idea. I've also heard that Black Cohosh and a few other herbs from healthfood stores (NOT Red Clover as I believe but, could be wrong that it stirs up estrogen).

The highest concentration of women to have twins was in this tiny village where they eat yams every day. So these doctors all did a study about yams having an effect on the fertility in women. Anyone else hear about this? Seems pretty silly. Doesn't mean I'm not trying it, just saying it seems silly. I think at this point if you told me wearing my underware on my head would get me pregnant I would give it a shot at least once!

Someone on this website suggested I eat yams to get pregnant and she was pregnant with twins. I did eat yams fater my IVF an dnow I am pregnant with triplets.

t believe there is so much discrepancy about yams. Goodness, there must be several varieties of yams. Like tomatoes. You can by an heirloom, a hot house, a cherry, a grape tomato but they are all tomatoes. I've grown yams, lived on a farm most of my life and eatin' yams most of my life. The ones that are orange inside are called yams here in the Northwest. I have read the same thing about yams, but didn't read the benefit is exclusive to African yams.

I thought it was funny to. Now I wished I LOVED yams. lol. Congrats Angela, I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months! :D SunWhorshiper, it hads to do with progesterone? Hmm! I should be eating sweet potatoes then because my progesterone was low last time they checked it and put me on those nasty vaginal capsuls. Yuck! I'd much rather choke down a sweet potatoe. lol. Also, my mother loves the yams like you like the sweet potatoes, with marshmellow on them.

The best way to control estrogen positive cancers when taking tamoxifen or other medication to block estrogen is to get rid of excess body fat.

Before i conceived my 2 year old, i took a concoction of pills. Royal jelly, wild yams, vitex, a multi-vitamin, bee pollen, and also a B-complex vitamin. I exercised everyday. Also, didnt drink anything caffeinated. Dont smoke, and drink very lightly. Anyways, royal jelly is suppose to improve egg quality along with an omega-3 tablet. The vitex is suppose to balance estrogen levels, helping one to be more fertile. The wild yams is to aid to releasing more than one egg.

I heard that yams are good for your ovaries. Something about how they make you ovulate more. This is the tribe in africa and the women eat yams every day. They have the higest concentration of twins in this village out of anywhere else in the world. The dr's contribute the twin factor to the yams. Good luck!

She was wary of trying more antidepressants as felt my body is too sensitive and i was glad of that. She decided to try Estrogen which is the gel and to apply once a day and to start to apply the 16th day after start of my period and to carry on until the 3rd day of my period then stop. The thing is i am wondering how i can benefit from stop starting it as how will my body get used to it?

) How about you other mommies?

Yams, which are rich in folate, as well as vitamins C and B6. These vegetables contain diosgenin, a substance similar to progesterone, which can help stimulate ovaries to release one or more eggs each month. Nuts and seeds, including almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds, are a great source of fatty acids. Omega 3 and omega fatty acids are hormone regulators and vital to a woman’s fertility since a hormonal imbalance can interfere with ovulation.

But, I digress - anyway, they had these Fact or Fiction type quiz right before a commercial break and I think I remember learning that sweet potatoes stimulate estrogen so that it could help you release more than one egg. So, of course I put that on my list of things to eat .... DH had stalked over and shut the tv off so I can't remember specifics. Anyway, going to get some yams....maybe some tofu too.... Congrats congrats again !

a quick retake of my situation is i'm 33 i have only one tube and it's not functionable. i was told by an RE i was seeing in 2009 that i had high FSH levels. she did an ovarian reserve ultra sound on me and said i looked great and i wouldn't have a problem. then i went to antother RE for a 2nd opinion and she told me that it wasn't my FSH being high, but that i had elevated estrogen. this month they did a day 3 FSH & Estrogen blood test and my results came back normal.

eat a lot of yams

I was told not to confuse them with sweet potatoes, because most supermarkets will label sweet potatoes as yams when they really arent. Sweet potatoes dont have the same effect as yams. So i was told to look for them at a whole foods store then your more likely to get a true yam. Alot of stuff in google on yams anf fertility also :) I heard pineapple core is good for implantation, real grapefruit juice is also good for fertility. Too many to list....lol, can u tell i am trying hard?? !!

Now, my line of thought is, that if #5 on this list, dairy and yams, can help someone w/o fertility problems increase their odds, surely it couldn't hurt for those having problems. I'd like to hear some thoughts. http://multiples.about.com/od/funfacts/tp/howtohavetwins. htm <--- Added a space so it wouldn't be bleeped-delete space before .

Hi, i ate alot of pineapple and pineapple juice, also yams are good. Fresh fruit and vege are the best, snack on nuts and try to avoid junk food, also gave up my coffee, and grean tea as it has reverse effects to my folic acid supplement. Drinking Rooibos tea with no sugar and no milk.. water is very good as well, 8 glasses a day. My 2nd IVF worked out, I m Postive...waiting to see my scan soon.

t have, and was placed on a higher dose of estrogen. I use the vivelle dot patch, oral estrogen and vaginal estrogen. This seems to have helped the urinary problems amongst other things. Are you on hormone replacement? There is a great book I am reading called "Screaming to be heard" by Elizabeth Vliet MD and it really goes into detail on how hormones affect every organ system. Are you on Hormone replacement? I hope this helps, and I hope you get some answers.

before the 6th attempt we had only been doing one insemination per cycle which had clearly not been working so for the next cycle we did two iuis, one on the day they would normally have you come in and one on the next day. i had also read that raw walnuts yams (not sweet potatos, there is a difference) and pineapple core help aid in implantation. it said that for the five days following the procedure to eat a portion of each.
