what has green tea got to do with ovulex ???

Hi sweetpea,
I have never heard of anything linking green tea and Ovulex. What have you heard?
I know green tea is soposed to help with cm. I know it has a lot of health advantages due to the antioxidents. I personally do drink green tea, usually a cup or 2 a day. I have a cm problem and thought I would give it a try. I am not sure if it worked or not, but I did have a lot of cm and it was good quality this month, unlike other months. I don't know if this was due to the green tea consumption or just a lucky cycle. I am also on injections for ovulation induction so I am not sure if it has something to do with that.

I drink any kind of decaf green tea I can find. I also do drink a cup of reg. green tea iced tea a couple of times a week. I just go to the tea isle at the grocery store and pick a new one each time til. They are all pretty much the same. I drink it hot in the am, add alittle honey and splenda to sweeten it a bit.

I had been taking a green tea capsule for the past year until about 2 months ago. I am not sure if it has a history of helping with conception like Geritol tonic does.

I am taking Ovluex right now, and I have read your comment about the green tea! Should I take green tea as well so it can help me with the CM, because usually I could hardly tell, what to record on my chart because it looks the same all the time?

Hi Lili-
I began drinking green tea for its benefits of improving cm. I personally had an issue with cm and thought I would try it. This cycle I had a post colital test and my cm was supurb. Now if this has anything to do with the green tea I don't know. For me it was something to experiment with that I could take with the injections I was doing. I did get a bfp yesterday, but again I have no idea if the green tea played any part.
If you have cm problems I would recommend it. From what you say you describe the way I was with the cm. Its worth a shot. Just don't forget to drink decaf!
Hope that helps

Liz, Congrats, so you are Pregnant? I am so happy for you. And thank for the advise I will give it a try even though I don't like tea, but I want to have a better idea of my cm because every cycle I get confuse on what to record.
What kind of tea, are you taking? So I can go and buy it ASAP, well after AF is gone or should I start taking it now?
Well, please give me some advice.
Thanks,
-Lili

After 4 hpt's I had my blood drawn yesterday. It came back with a 98 hcg at 11 dpo. I go again tomorrow morning for more bw to make sure the hcg is doubling.
I don't really have a particular brand, I try them all. Just go to the coffee/tea isle at the grocrey store and you can have your pick. The test is not all the great so I sweeten it with Spenda and some honey.
I started drinking it last month (I think it was before af cam but after o). I still drink it because it is sopossed to have other health benefits. I have also heard that Robitussin is good for cm. I tried that as well, but didn't get a postive that month, however I did notice that I had more cm then usual.
Are you currently seeing an re? On any meds or trying on your own? If you are seeing an re and have a concern I would suggest you ask them to preform a post colital test. It is really a piece of cake. What you do is have sex (for me it was about 2 hours before appt.). You go in and they take samples of the mucus, look at it under a microscope and call see the sperm swimming and tell the quality of your mucus. It is a wonderful test and not so invasive. You get instant results.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, fire away, I would be more then happy to answer.
Take care, Liz

Liz,
Thank You very much for all that information, it really helps alot. And I have never heard of that colital test. But it does sounds like a piece of cake, is that expensive?? The reason I say it is because I do not have a primary doctor, when I get sick I just go to any doctor. Having insurance is just too expensive!
Thanks,
Lili

My insurance covered it so I am not sure of the exact amount. I think it might have been around $100.00.
