herbs/bad dreams/hormonal outburst

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
so... an herbalist friend of mine suggested a tea for me (rosehips, licorice, chaste tree berries and red clover). This is interesting in that sex is more enjoyable, and it *should*help me concieve (only been taking it for 2 weeks).

Unfortunately, this last week I have been *moody.* Really really moody. And have been having bad dreams.

I was on a road trip last weekend with a bunch of friends. We were talking and baby names came up. I'm the only person in the group currently ttc, and one couple had been seriously talking about names, even though they aren't ttc. That night I had this horrible nightmare that she was pregnant and shoving it in my face that I wasn't. I was mad at her for being pregnant, and mad at myself for not being, and mad at myself for being mad at her. To make it worse, I apparently was yelling in my sleep and my roommates were worried about me, so woke me up. At the time I didn't remember the dream, and really didn't even remember having a dream.

Later in the day, I remembered it, and that coupled with a lot of other things (like not being able to find *anything* that fit right...from boots to bras) pretty much kept me in tears from about noon to almost bedtime.

Has anyone had experience with this, or am I just a basket case?

I am currently taking herbs as well, I am taking chasteberry vitex. I do find myself a little moody as well. Maybe let your body adjust to the herbs for a couple of months as with everything it does take a little while to adjust and work. Just remember that if you go to see your doctor for any reason you should mention you are taking herbs just so they know.
From some of your symptoms, is it possible you are already pregnant? Good luck! I hope the herbs work for you.

oh, I *wish* I was already pg, but I started taking them the day AF came, and am only 2 weeks in. I had what felt like mittleschmertz late Friday night, so hopefully this is the month!

Part of the reason I'm taking the herbs is i've got PCOS, and haven't been ovulating "correctly."

This is the first time in *months* that I've felt a mittleschmertz, so *hopefully* I've ovulated!

*crosses fingers*
