Can you take yam in order to raise progesterone levels? ?

Also, can you take it during pregnancy? Is it good for luteal phase deficiency? In particular, I would be interested in Chinese Yam (Radix Dioscorea).

You should not be taking anything to try to alter your hormone levels without discussing it with your doctor. You need to get a level test to see if you are actually progesterone deficient and how much you would need to supplement if you are, then get on a dosage-controlled regimen.

Especially if you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, you do not need to be experimenting with alternative medicine outside of the close supervision of a medical professional.
