Hi Ladies,

I had a canceled ivf cycle due to poor response and a BFN in June. I immediately started looking into things that improve egg quality etc. I ran across this thread and ordered the royal jelly bee pollen thats recommended here and also started acupuncture and wheatgrass. Well long story short, I was waiting for AF to show since the BFN and figured she was late due the the hormones screwing with my body but after 5 days late I tested last week- !!!!!!! Natural miracle conception!!! Thank you GOD!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to share this info with everyone since I believe that it helped me! Good luck to everyone and I wish you all the best!!!!!!

Bump!

Well, I've been taking RJ/bee pollen in honey for almost three months now to get ready for my IVF cycle. This year, I've had three antral follicle counts done. The two before RJ were 14 and 15 follicles respectively, and I had to bump this thread this morning because minutes ago I just had my ultrasound for IVF and I've got 25 follicles! Apparently, the number of follicles relates to IVF success: Antral Follicle Counts, Testing Ovarian Reserve Predicts IVF Response

This is a great way to start my IVF cycle! Here's hoping that this leads to a BFP!!

Good luck everyone!

Hello Ladies

This thread has given me a new hope to go ahead with my fertility treatment.I am diagonised with low ovarian reserve (4 follicles) but i haven't had bloodwork done to know my FSH levels.I wanted to take herbs before I go with clomid.
Currently I am taking Superfertility 2 from radiant wonder,maca,red clover blossom and cinnamon and poria.
One week back I saw this thread and baught some RJ and BP capsules from walmart but looks like the one with honey is more more effective.I am planning to buy it from GNC tomorrow,Thanks for all the ladies for sharing your experience.You don't know how much support you guys have given me.

Tanya

I also started taking RJ/BP in Sept after seeing this post but I am taking pill form. It says it's 500mg of Royal Jelly from 152mg of RJ concentrate, the equivalent of 500mg Fresh Royal Jelly. Did anyone have success and/or improvement in their cycle with the pill form of RJ/BP?? I am doing my next IVF in January and hoping for better quality embies to get me my BFP!! I always have a ton of follies/eggs but it's the quality that's an issue. Thanks for all of your success story posts, it really gives us hope

Update:RJ/PB effective on husband

I had baught some RJ and PB from walmart before I started taking the one from vitaminshop.Instead of wasting the pills, I started giving it to my husband(1RJ/1PB 2 times a day).He is been taking them from one week and has started noticing a real difference in his energy levels and also with his sex drive.He used to be very tired when he gets home and never had desire to have x but now I feel a change in him and thats really good as we are ttc.
I am not really noticing a big change in me.I guess it takes some more time for me.

Question

Hi All,

I've always had problems with the thought of honey. Sometimes I can have it without problem, but sometimes I start thinking about the fact that it's made by insects and I can't swallow it. I would likely have the same problem with Royal Jelly. I also have problems with strange textures. I looked up Royal Jelly to see a picture and it looks like little shriveled oval beads. What texture does the preparation you are all referring to have? I really want to have a baby, but I'm afraid I will gag on this stuff. I looked through this thread to see if anyone had any success using it in pill form, but I don't see any consensus. Does the one from Vitamin Shoppe that most of you took have a grainy texture? Does it have little things in it that you have to chew up? I had thought maybe I could add it into my oatmeal, but I see that it should not be heated.
Has anyone had success with the pill form?
Please help with any descriptions of texture and taste of the non-pill form and any suggestions about how to consume it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! Just popping in here as well.. Anyone know if the pills work just as well as the actual jelly in honey? I live in Ontario Canada, and I have checked everywhere here, and no one has the royal jelly mixed with honey.. I saw it on the GNC website, but that is apparently the American site, and no GNC in Canada sells it.. Anyone been able to find it in Canada anywhere? Thanks in advance..
