Has anyone ever encapsulated their placenta? If so, what happened when you took the capsules? So curious to see if they work.

Bump! I'm curious about this too!

I took them and I'm pretty positive they had the reverse effect on me. I was hormonal and all over the place then I missed my pills one day and felt 100x better.

My milk came in immediately and abundantly when I started it, and I've never had any supply issues. It made me feel a lot better physically (less weak, less bleeding, less after-pains) on the days I took it as well.
It did seen to help me mentally (tremendously) until I ran out, and then my issues got worse. Mine was more than just PPD though, so I think if I'd had a normal birth/typical PPD it would have been enough for me.
I'm a huge fan, and will do it again next time for sure.

I did it with both LO's and it was great! I can't say I felt dramatically different but I had long recovery times after each birth and I definitely think it helped my mood! I also had the tinctures made for my LO's.

Thanks ladies! I've been taking them only for a couple days and it seems to help with my energy level and mood.

I did it with my last birth and I would do it again. They had a negative effect on my milk supply, but I have a stupid medical issue when it comes to lactating and there's lots of things that help most other women that don't help me. Anyways, I quit taking them when my milk supply dropped so quickly after starting, but I was such a hormonal mess and when I finally decided to accept the fact that I wouldn't produce a full milk supply and started taking them again, I felt lots better. Placebo effect, maybe. But it was worth it, regardless.
