Is the herb called wild yam root help u get pregnant ? does it really help u get twins like i've been hearing ? what and is there any risk of using it

Wild Yam Root: There are non-traditional reports of it helping by stimulating estrogen, which i suppose could influence one's fertility (but not necessarily to increase one's fertility). A quick search showed it does contain the steroid saponin aglycone diosin which may be converted to diosgenin in the body by adequate healthy gut flora and could effect estrogen balance. Who knows if it works - caveat emptor.

Wild yam root -- no: Wild yam root hasn't been used for fertility, but has been used to treat dysmenorrhea, hot flashes, and menopausal headaches. Data is mixed. Manufacturers of a dioscorea-containing vaginal cream have also claimed that it has progesterone-like effects & is a source of "natural hormones" -- not supported by animal or human studies. Also, diasgenin isn't converted to hormones in humans. Save your $$.
