i suspect i might be pregnant (don’t have symptoms ANYMORE, but IF i am i’d be 5 weeks) and i took a test on the 28th of January and got a negative but i’m only a day late on my period, i take black cohosh pills which is a natural herb to balance my estrogen and start my period, which doesn’t seem to be working…..does anyone know what black cohosh could to to a women in early pregnancy?

I am presently taking black cohosh and wild yam root to alleviate symptoms of menopause. I am having to take large quantities to get any relief.
Maca has a nice reviews but would like to hear from someone that has actually used it for menopausal symptoms.

BTW …I am not a HRT candidate as I have had 2 heart attacks.

I’m going through the menopause at the moment, and I’ve had hot flushes for the past two or three years. At first I tried Black Cohosh, that worked for about 6 mths.Then I got it in liquid form which also worked for 6 mths. I’ve tried other remadies from the chemist too but nothing works anymore. I can’t go onto HRT because of cancer in the family. I can’t wear light coloured clothes or tight tops cos of the perspiration. I’m really fed up with this now. Sometimes I when I wake up my bed is soaking wet from sweating. Can somebody please help me ?????????

im 41 weeks and 4 days and due to be induce this week. my doctor stripped my membranes and i am 3cm dilated but not ripe and no contractions. can anyone give me any suggestions besides sex and walking that they have experienced? i bought castor oil, blue and black cohosh tincture today but am yet to try them. i just want to hear everyone’s experiences with a late or stalled labor because im not looking foward to pitocin! thxi

I am 49, and have severe hot flashes and night sweats four or five times a night. I started taking black cohosh, but am afraid of the side affects, if any. I am taking 450 mg pills every night at dinner. Is this safe?

Im 33 weeks pregnant and Ive been slowly slipping into labor on and off! And when I was talking to a friend about natural things to do to try and stall me going into premature labor until I was due, Her friend interupts and tells me to take black cohosh tablets! And I told her that I thought that Black Cohosh helped start up labor, she said it was only if you took a large amount! And that a small amout would just help relax my uterus! (I think she is full of crap) But to top it off, she told me not to tell my Doc about taking them if I decide to! But I am willing to do anything to post pone my labor! So if anyone who knows if this is true and not just bull crap, please let me know! I plan on talking to my Doctor about it Tuesday but I need a little bit more input! I personally think that Black Cohosh does the complete opposite of what this lady is telling me! Im willing to do anything to stop early labor if possible! But Im not willing to harm my Baby! Thank you in Advance!

I have been using black Cohosh, Red Clover and Dong Quai for a year now but that is not working any more. I do not like convention medicine and what I’m interested in is herbal/home made remedies.

I’ve tried low dose prozac and black cohosh. Only caused upset stomach and nausea. Did you weigh the pros and cons and the risks before starting treatment? Thanks for any input that anyone may give me.

I am looking for something to help my acne naturally.I am not taking anymore birth control pills or antibacterial pills.I want to try to do it naturally.I heard black cohosh and vitex are good for hormonal imbalances.I just wanted to check and see if it really did.Does anyone have any experiences with curing hormonal imbalances?If so what do you recommend?I am 15.

ps-does excess body hair have to do with a hormonal imbalance?

I’m planning on taking Black Cohosh for perimenopause relief, but I read an article that said take 70mg. The dosage I bought at the grocery store is 540 mg. Is this dosage okay?

Hi. I am at that stage of my life where I am now getting lots of hot flushes and although during the day I can cope with this, it is ruining my sleep. I have not had a full nights sleep for nearly a year and I need my sleep!

I have tried one or two natural remedies but have found nothing that seems to be really effective yet and wondered if anyone else has tried anything that has really worked?

I don’t want to go to the Doctor as I am not ill, I just want a natural remedy which I could buy over the counter. What I’m really looking for is a personal recommendation of a product which you have found to work.

I would love any help you can offer.

Thanks.
Thanks everyone. I have ordered some Black Cohosh so hope this helps me.

I’m wanting to avoid going to a dr. as much as I can so I’m wanting to know any kind of herbs that are good for balancing hormones for a woman. And are Saw Palmetto, and Black Cohosh good for it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve been having all kinds of mood swings, I’ve been a little irritable, excess facial and body hair, and very irregular periods *maybe 4 periods a year* so of course I know that there’s somethin’ going on (b/c I’m only 20 years old).

i’m already started on black cohosh & dong quai. i just want to know if i can add any more to this? they must be in pill or capsule or gel form only. i need several menopause symptoms relieved: hot flashes, mood problems, insomnia occasionally, & urinary incontinence.

thanx.
