Has anyone used maca powder for trying to conceive purposes? Or for any purposes, I suppose. I just bought some and am wondering how to use it. Shakes? How else? And do you think it helped you? Thanks in advance for sharing your info, girls!

I think I had it once or twice in a smoothie in Peru? Not for any specific purpose but the drink came that way so I'm guessing they blended in the powder.

I've never had it, but my BFF uses it in smoothies. I don't remember why though, but it does serve a purpose.
hope that helps a little.

@MrsMcD: I never tried the powder, but I used to take 3 capsules a day to help balance my hormones for normal ovulation. Could have been total coincidence, but I got my BFP that month. Good luck!

@MrsMcD: if you want to read more about it, I recommend heading over to mothering.com. If you google "mothering.com+maca", you'll see there's a lot of discussion about it; in fact, there's an entire lengthy "TTC with MACA" thread!

Completely anecdotal evidence, but I know two couples who got pregnant the same month that both the husband & wife did a smoothie/juice detox that involved a daily dose maca powder.

@spaniellove: and @MamaBehr: Thanks for letting me know, girls!
@skipper2010: Thanks for letting me know about the capsules. I saw those, too, when looking online. I sooooo hope that I have your same luck with the powder I bought.
@Happygal: Thanks for the heads up! I will go over there asap!
@PinkElephant: Oh I would love this kind of luck! I put some maca powder in DH's smoothie and he didn't even know the difference. When you day your friends did a smoothie "detox" can you explain what you mean? Did they just drink maca smoothies all day for a month? Or just one a day? Thanks!! I crave specifics.
hope that helps a little.
