Starting My Fertility Drink Experiment
Last November I started worrying when my period acted weird for three months straight. Saw this ad for fertility smoothies claiming to fix hormone stuff. Skeptical but desperate, figured I’d give it a real try.
Choosing My Drinks
Picked three top sellers on shopping sites after reading reviews:
- That green powder full of spinach and weird grasses
- Pink beetroot mix with berry flavors
- Creamy maca root stuff that smells like dirt
All promised “hormone balance” and “cycle support”. Paid way too much honestly.
My Daily Routine Setup
Made myself chug these nasty drinks every morning for 5 months straight:
Phase 1: Drank pink beet one on empty stomach – tasted like metallic jam. Waited 30 mins before breakfast.
Phase 2: Mixed green powder into oatmeal after 2 months – turned everything swamp-colored.
Phase 3: Added maca to coffee at month 4 – wouldn’t recommend unless you like earthy coffee.
Tracked everything in my phone notes: mood swings, cramps, cycle dates, even my skin breakouts. Took ovulation tests every other day like a maniac.
What Actually Happened
Honestly? Minimal changes for months. Period came slightly less painful around month 3. Ovulation tests showed clearer lines sometimes. But my cycle? Still bouncing between 28 and 40 days like crazy.
Got frustrated and emailed two ob-gyns. One said flat out: “Marketing nonsense.” The other admitted some ingredients like maca have weak studies but warned: “These aren’t FDA checked. Could even mess with your real meds.”
My Final Decision
Stopped all drinks cold turkey last month. Honestly feel zero difference now than before I started. Wasted over $200 and drank gallons of nasty sludge. Maybe helped hydration? But for fertility claims? Total bust for me.
Wish I’d listened earlier when that doctor friend laughed saying: “If smoothies fixed infertility, we’d all be out of jobs.” Still glad I tried though – now I know.
