This post is about my personal experience drinking fertility tea and what my fertility tea results are after drinking the NORA tea for 3 consecutive months.
I first learned about NORA tea, or fertility tea, when was looking into what tea I could take to help me have a healthy pregnancy.
Turns out that maternity tea has very similar ingredients as a fertility tea.
With a few changes, I began drinking fertility tea when I was 18 months postpartum.
Fertility Tea Results
Fertility Tea is used to help women balance out their hormones.
This is perfect for every woman struggling with postpartum hormonal imbalances or for the woman who has painful PMS every month or for the woman who gets inconsistent periods.
With that being said, you can conclude that fertility tea helps women with their overall hormonal health.
What Fertility Tea Did I Drink? And Why?
Once I stopped breastfeeding my daughter after exclusively pumping for 12 months, I noticed that my body was not feeling as healthy as it could be due to lack of proper nutrition due to lactation.
Throughout those months, I was occasionally taking prenatal and postnatal vitamins. I would take them on and off due to living a busy mom life and pumping around the clock.
With the end of one phase, i.e., exclusively pumping, I began looking after my health and began losing weight and restoring vitamins and minerals in order to prepare my body for a second pregnancy.
I began taking Materni-Tea, which is sold locally to me, every single day first thing in the morning.
After one bag lasted me for 1.5 months, I then began making my own fertility tea. You can find the recipe here, which includes red raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, alfalfa, and oatstraw.
Fertility Tea Results
I began taking the fertility tea because I felt my body was weak and lacking proper vitamins and minerals due to breastfeeding for 12 months without adequate nutrition.
I also took it in preparation to my second pregnancy.
NOTE: I also want to point out that I do not have fertility issues. I began taking this tea because I was postpartum experiencing weakness, dizziness, and spotting.
Below are my results after drinking the fertility tea for three months.
Taste of the Fertility Tea
The taste of the fertility tea is very earthy.
The base of most fertility teas is red raspberry leaves. I had become accustomed to drinking red raspberry leaf tea during my pregnancy, so when I drank the fertility tea, it still tasted very similar, but now with more earthy tones.
Body Changes
One of the biggest and most drastic change I had was that I felt energized. I also want to emphasize that I was also losing weight, which means that I was in a calorie deficit, and was not left feeling tired.
Furthermore, in terms of ovulation, if I was ovulating, my body made it very clear when I was ovulating. (You can learn more here about ovulation and what signs to look for.)
For me, this meant that the fertility tea was serving its purpose of making me for fertile by giving my body the vitamins and mineral it needed for hormonal health.
Period Changes
This was another thing I noticed throughout the months. Slowly, my periods consisted of absolutely no cramps.
I have always had minor period cramps, but I had never experienced absolutely no cramps. This was a slow progression throughout the months. It came to a point where I no longer knew when my period would come because I had little to no symptoms.
In terms of my flow, I did not notice any change, with my period lasting 2-3 days, as it has always been that many days.
I do know many women’s period can last 7 days, which can come with painful cramps. So if you suffer from periods like this, then Fertility Tea may be for you.
Mood Swings
Because I was breastfeeding, many people say that your hormones will be all over the place when you stop breastfeeding.
I cannot say 100% if it was the tea or if it was just time. But during my periods after I stopped breastfeeding, I was so irritable and sad. As the months went by, I began feeling this less and less.
Overall Review
Overall, I believe the fertility served its purpose.
I began seeing more signs of ovulation, more energized, and now have pain-free periods with very little PMS (I still feel fatigue during my period, but that is normal still, after all, I do have low iron).
Fertility Tea Results
When I began drinking the fertility tea every day I did so with the intention of restoring missing vitamins and minerals in my body. I was not looking for my periods to change, or for me to become more fertile with hard to miss signs of ovulation.
I am quite surprised at how well the fertility tea worked. For me, I have never had fertility issues nor extreme PMS and/or period cramps, but even with my mild PMS and cramps, the fertility tea was able to get rid of them all.
Due to the hard-to-miss ovulation signs, I know if I were to try to get pregnant, I would be able to do so fairly quickly.
