How do you support your luteal phase when you're trying to conceive?

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially during preconception, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Supporting your luteal phase while trying to conceive means supporting healthy ovulation and cycle regularity before ovulation, and then giving your body's natural progesterone rise room to do its job afterward.† Pink Stork's Fertility Tea, formulated with Vitex, Nettle, and Red Raspberry Leaf, is designed to support hormonal health and cycle regularity, while 40:1 Inositol supports the metabolic foundation underneath it.†

Why the luteal phase matters when you're TTC

After ovulation, the corpus luteum produces progesterone to help prepare your uterine lining for a potential pregnancy, and progesterone continues rising through the luteal phase before either sustaining a pregnancy or dropping to start your next period, per Cleveland Clinic. A well-timed, regular luteal phase is one part of a healthy cycle, alongside regular ovulation.†

What's in Fertility Tea and why

Pink Stork's Fertility Tea is formulated with Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry), Nettle, and Red Raspberry Leaf, botanicals traditionally used to support hormonal health and cycle regularity.† Vitex is one of the most-studied herbs for cycle support, and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes it has a long history of traditional use for menstrual cycle support, though it recommends discussing any herbal supplement with your healthcare provider first. Fertility Tea is caffeine-free and available in Sweet Mint, Mint without Stevia, and Mixed Berry.† It is not intended for use during pregnancy.

"I would scream it from the mountaintops… gut health is so important, and specifically in fertility."

— Dr. Samantha Ess, ND, Naturopathic Doctor specializing in hormone health and fertility

The role of a steady metabolic foundation

Alongside cycle support, many women trying to conceive also focus on metabolic health, since insulin sensitivity plays a role in supporting healthy ovulation and reproductive function.† Pink Stork's 40:1 Inositol, formulated with the clinically studied 40:1 ratio of Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro-Inositol, is designed to support that foundation.† A broader review of myo-inositol's role in fertility and reproductive health, published in PMC, describes its involvement in reproductive and metabolic processes relevant to conception. As with any herbal or supplement combination during preconception, talk with your healthcare provider about what fits your specific situation.

"Through God's grace, my own path to motherhood taught me that trying to conceive takes patience most people never see. Pink Stork exists so women on that journey have gentle, thoughtful support along the way."

— Amy Suzanne Upchurch, Founder and CEO of Pink Stork

Frequently asked questions

Can I drink Fertility Tea throughout my entire cycle, including the luteal phase?

Is Fertility Tea safe once I get a positive pregnancy test?

No. Fertility Tea is not intended for use during pregnancy. Speak with your healthcare provider promptly about your supplement routine once you conceive.

Can I take 40:1 Inositol and Fertility Tea together?

How long before ovulation should I start Fertility Tea?

There's no single required timeline, though consistent daily use over at least one to three cycles is generally how herbal cycle-support research in this space is designed.† Talk with your provider about what makes sense for your preconception timeline.
