Who is using Wild Yam?
February 28 2006 at 5:40 AM Ally (no login)
I'm just wondering who is using wild yam? Had anyone started using it then dropped it? I could just check the Programs link, but I need some input. I started using wild yam, then I dropped it 'cause I kept hearing how the body doesn't know how to break down the Progesterone in Wild yam.

Has anyone cut the wild yam from their routine and found that they grew anyway? Or grew since they dropped the wild yam? Any input would be appreciated!!

Thanks!

BTW - my body is low on progesterone so that's why I'm thinking it's the missing link in my routine.

I think theres quite a few of us who did drop the WY,I was using it for maybe 2-3 weeks at one point and I cant really describe it other then to say I just had a "feeling" that it wasnt assisting my routine,I now use my left over caps for a topical mix.Im sure u already saw this BUT just in case,I found more then 1 source that claimed that Zinc (30mg day), Vitamin B6 (dont have dose for that 1) and the Chastenberry(or are u already on that Vitex?) raised Progesterone levels.Maybe something to look into unless u already did in which case Im out of ideas lol:-)

Tendertatas is using wild yam cream, she is also doing REALLY well on her growing. Hopefully she'll see this and be able to answer your questions.

Hi, yeah I am using Wild Yam, both internally and topically. It's been almost 2 months and I've grown almost an inch. I don't know if it's attributed to the Wild Yam or not as I am also taking Fenugreek and Saw Palmetto.

However, I was thinking of switching it for Red Clover when I run out of it to see if it would work even better for me because I've heard great things about it. And if I stop growing then I could always switch back.

I also use it. I have been using it just about since the beginning. I am afraid to stop using it because what if I don't grow as good. I only take 2 a day so it is not a big deal. Alot of people have grown without using it.

I've used Wild Yam since I started, but I plan on dropping it once my extract bottle runs out. Isn't Wild Yam's phytoestrogen diosgenin contained in another herb? lol, I've been reading so much I can't even remember which herb that is.

Thanks for all the input everyone! I think maybe I'll try adding Mexican Wild Yam for a bit and see what happens.

Thanks again!
