Have any of you ever tried the Wild Yam Cream to support a pregnancy? It is a natural cream that mimicks progesterone.

Lisa, I've not heard of "wild yam" but I have heard of a natural progesterone cream. I used some I ordered from a company called "Arbonne" (it's kind of like Mary Kay). I did some research & I can't remember all the details so don't quote me on this but you use it for like 2 weeks up until ovulation for 3 months & then stop using it. It is suppose to help stimulate the "follicles". I'm not sure if the "wild yam" is the same. I found this article...it may be of some help. However, if you want to use it I would suggest doing more research or ask your doctor just how & when you should use it. www.health-science.com/yam.htmlI hope someone else can be of more help. angi

I have used natural progesterone cream for two years now. (Life-Flo Progesta-Care, I order it from Vitacost.com) My experience w/it has been nothing but positive. I began using it because I was diagnosed with endometriosis and I had fibroids. At that time my husband and I had been TTC for 6 years. Within 6 months of beginning use of the cream I was PG. (Unfortunately that's when I had my B/O.) I still use it and always will. I feel so much better on it and it has regulated my periods to the day! Before the cream I would go anywhere from 36-50 days in between pds. Now I'm day 29 almost every month. It helps me develop a proper uterine lining each month which is why I think I finally got pg within 6 month of its use. Before discovering the cream I had been tested at the RE and I had low progesterone levels. I had ultrasounds done before its use and the RE said my uterus was hard. After the cream it had the proper layers and was healthier. I don't know much about Wild Yam cream but when I did research I read the natural progesterone was a better match for our bodies hormones. I use it twice a day from ovulation (day 14) through to day 27. I always POAS around that time to make sure I'm not pg and if I was I would just continue rubbing the cream on every day. It has really helped the hormone issues I had and I am a different calmer person because of it.
I would suggest you research it and see if its right for you. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
