Are Herbalife Shakes And Vitamins Advisable While Trying For Pregnancy?
Question: Should I be taking Herbalife shakes and vitamins while trying to conceive? I have replaced the Herbalife vitamins pills with elevate and have been taking the cell u loss and NRG once a day instead of 3 times a day. I'm 37 and have been trying to conceive for 4 months now with no luck and have been taking the products for about 2 months.
Brief Answer:
Hi, I think you should go for evaluation first.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I think you can continue taking those. But due to your age factor, I think you should go for evaluation first. You should do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. Also do a day 2 or 3 FSH, LH and AMH levels. These tests will tell you if your hormonal profile is normal and if your ovaries have adequate number of follicles at this stage. Also do a semen analysis of your husband. You should also go for a HSG or a diagnostic laparoscopy to see the tubal patency. After that, if everything is fine, you can track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound to see if ovulation is happening or not. If ovulation is happening, then you can try naturally for 2 to 3 months. If it doesn't work then you can go for ovulation induction with timed intercourse or IUI. Consult a gynecologist for complete evaluation and further treatment. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.
