Magnesium and ttc

I came off the pill November. Thanks to an over proactive doctor who I asked to do a vit d blood test I know on 4.12.17 I had low progesterone.

I just came across Nicola Jardim who says Estrogen and progesterone imbalance can be helped by taking magnesium but she didn’t say how much. Already taking pregnacare and don’t want to overdose! Does anyone know? Thank you

Keen to try it as I had a progesterone imbalance before going on the pill which was investigated at the time and put down to stress.

I take seven seas trying to conceive and then add a good high strength magnesium and vitamin D. Seven seas does not have magnesium in it and only a small amount of Vit d xx

this is interesting to know many thanks my understanding of magnesium though is its better through transdermal use better you do bath salts and body spray oils with it in maybe worth a go now I know this I may have to give it a go thanks

I take a pre conception multi vit/mineral but also supplement with additional magnesium in the form of a skin spray. It is supposed to absorb better via the skin and gives the digestive system a break.

I feel great when I use the spray. I use it at bedtime and when I do i sleep like a log. From my reading you can't easily 'overdose' on magnesium. If you did take way too much apparently your bowels would be lose. That's it.

The brand i use is Better You (amazon and Holland & B). Epsom salts are also magnesium, lovely to soak in a hot bath with them:)

I actually use a magnesium spray instead of a deodorant so I kill two birds!

And there’s magnesium in my calcium tablets (GP discovered my calcium levels were low).

Alibaba do you just spray magnesium spray under your arms or is it a deodorant?

It’s a magnesium spray but it works brilliantly as a deodorant. The one I have is called Life-Flo Pure Magnesium Oil. It’s a nice fine spray. Sometimes I wipe the surrounding area with a wet flannel as it can sometimes irritate the skin.
