This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

When you go to Fertibella.com website, they offer a free 2 month supply of their fertility pills, etc. pay shipping only. after the free trial they just kept charging my bank account 79.00 (2 months in a row), and I never got anymore of their product in the mail. My bank (Wells Fargo) filed a claim against them and found it to be one of MANY and refunded me my money.

Do not buy this product! and I'll leave this with a note I should of thought of. If they gaurantee it works, why do they offer to send a different bottle every month? Learned my lesson this time, and it is a very personal thing to be fraudulent about (fake fertility meds). and also, this is not FDA approved.

This is not a scam... YOU NEED TO READ WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR. If you see free every normal person will know to read the fine print and check terms and conditions before you enter your credit card information. I mean come on people nothing in this world is free. Its like reading a whole lot of crying... I say well did we learn any thing?. I just went to their web site and it does tell you before you even enter your card info that you will be billed for the items after the 30days is over with. And if you don't like the product you need to return it before the end of the trial otherwise you will be billed for the product. I think that is fair. This is pills people I don't know about you but I am glad they don't resell product and its law for any kind of medications you buy online. You can not return them due to its call contaminated goods. I wish you all luck but its not fair to call a company a scam if you don't even read the web site before you enter your card info that is just being a ###.. Lets get smart here! Its the web check and double check before you give away info that might cause issues for you later. Practice Smart Shopping!

Im in the middle of taking my first month of fertibella and I have not ovulated when I usually do, so I dont understand why did it stop my ovulation istead of making it happen. I have always ovulated but have had no luck getting pregnant for 11 months and I took fertibella thinking it might help me but its not! Has thos happen to anyone else?

There are no side effects! The ingredients are all natural. You might feel a little hungrier or have headaches your first week, but as long as you take it with food and a glass of water, you will feel fine.

after using fertibella for 30 days i decided to go with another fertility method that was cheaper and had alot more better reviews. when i tried to contact fertibella to cancel my order there was alot of phone tag and emails before i could get a hold of a person on the phone, only becuase i work the sametime that their office is open. When i finally did get someone on the phone I was disconnected after saying I wanted a refund becuase i was charged already (just after 30 days) for my second order. she informd me that the 2 month free trial is NOT free. they bill you after 30 days from the date you recv your "free trail", so if you need to cancel your order you need to cancel before 30 days< so before you finish your first bottle. so i ended up paying for month 1 & 2. besides that, after being disconnected when i called back the same lady i spoke with answered and pretended to be someone else when i told her i prefer to speak with the lady i had got disconnected with she refused (becuase it was her) then there was a dog barking in the backround. kinda unprofessional is you ask me.

I'm still skeptical, I'm on Month 3 and still nothing. I'm being patient. My husband and I have been TTC for almost 3 years now. Because of him I'm still on FertiBella. We really want to be parents so anything is worth trying now. I did help with my irregular periods and I'm glad if that! To all that's TTC wish you the best.

I am happy to report I'm now 2 months pregnant after FIVE YEARS of TTC! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and did not want to go on birth control or metformin, like my obgyn had suggested. I'm very much into holistic supplements and when I came across Fertibella, it seemed like just what I was looking for. In my excitement, I completely forgot to call and cancel my next month's shipment, but when I called they were super nice - gave me my refund # and told me to just send the bottle back. I guess I could have been dishonest and sent them an empty bottle... then gave the pills to someone else with PCOS, but that's just not me. There's a lot of hot air around this forum... although I'm not sure why. If you're relatively intelligent, I think you can call to cancel. I liked the auto-ship feature, actually... I felt like I never had to worry about a thing.

i ordered fertibella last month and ive been ttc for two years now, it doesnt work at all~! and they constantly charge your credit card every month and dont send out the product. they refuse to refund your money even though the prodect is a scam~! there very argumentative and draining if you ask me.its a terrible thing to scam someone aboute, infertility is hard enough to face without scammers taking advantage of it.

I know it's a bit graphic, but I suffered from low-quality / thickened cervical mucus, which made it difficult for me to become impregnated. My doctor recommended the medication Clomid, but I didn't really want to take an ovulatory stimulant unless it was my last resort. Fertibella sounded like just what I was looking for -- an easy and more natural way to aid my fertility. Thanks to this daily supplement, my condition improved and I was able to conceive in my first month.

I really can't say enough good things about the folks at Fertibella. I had been trying to conceive for 6 or 7 months before a friend told me about how this product had helped with her pregnancy in 2010. I was skeptical, since I had tried Clomid and HCG to no avail, but I figured, "Ah, What the heck... It's easy to take, easy to renew your dose, and you get a bunch of free pregnancy/ovulation tests to boot." To my surprise, I conceived just 39 days in! Now I am recommending it to MY friends.There are naysayers out there, but I think you'll find more women who are almost militant in their defense and promotion of this product because, by God, it really works.

Ugh. Looks like my account was hacked by "Russian4ababy." What is with this complaint board?
This topic has gotten volatile. Anyway, I'm on month 2 of taking Fertibella... still no complaints from me.
Still no baby either... but I am patient and willing to give this a good 6 months before trying something new.

Wow, "LuckyJessie"... I've been working in customer service for 10 years and I know your type. Some people are just out to make a stink wherever they go. No matter what company you call, the customer service reps are looking out for people like you. There are tactful people who you can deal with by offering a refund, a clearer explanation or sympathizing with them... and there are some people who come out swinging and will just never be appeased unless heads go rolling and the entire company shuts down. There is no point in wasting minutes on these people. Thankfully, these [censored]disturbers are not terribly common in the industry, so their voices really are an angry minority. I think any halfway intelligent person reading your review can tell that you're just venting. Why get so bent out of shape? Life's too short.

I am the mother of 5 children and my husband and I have been trying to have another for the past couple of years, so I am no stranger to pregnancy tests and fertility herbs. I recieved what I thought was a free sample of FertiBella Advanced Conception pills in the mail (actually a free trial), along with 5 free early detection pregnancy tests. I figured it couldn't hurt so I began taking them on my cycle day 9 and then took the first test 10 days past ovulation. Imagine my delight when I immediately saw a faint pink "positive" line! I took the remaining tests over the next 2 days and all were positive. I decided to research the product and test results online and couldn't believe the amount of complaints from various women who had been through the same process only to discover that they weren't pregnant, after all. And, were then charged for this product every month, whether or not they actually received more product! I then bought an early detection pregnancy test from the drug store and of course, it was negative. It suddenly occurred to me that FertiBella had possibly devised a truly brilliant consumer scam. By praying on the emotions of women who are desperately trying to concieve, they manage to give them hope with their "miracle herbs" and they may be providing faulty pregnancy tests that reveal false positive results in order to provide "proof" of their product's effectiveness so that the consumer will continue to spend money on it, probably believing that she is convieving every month but not sustaining the pregnancy. I came to this conclusion after calling FertiBella to voice my concerns and to urge them to research these false positives further ( false positive are so rare, how could I get 4 false positives in 2 days - these tests had to be defective or tampered with). When I asked her name and the address of the company, guess what - she hung up on me! I tried to call back 3 times from 2 different numbers and was sent directly to a voicemail system, as though they'd stopped answering the phones. I had called them 3 separate times over the previous 3 weeks and never experienced that. In closing, I urge all women to proceed with caution when taking this product. It appears they are utilizing a deceptive marketing tecnique in order to encourage women to continue purchasing their product. I am fortunate enough to have other children and can only imagine the heartbreak a childless woman would have to endure every month with these false positives. Here is a link to photos of false FertiBella positives such as mine http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://oliveollie.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/yesmaybe2.jpg%3Fw%3D640%26h%3D480&imgrefurl=https://oliveollie.wordpress.com/page/4/&usg=__i3LHlVHMfYshDIUEsgGEQAzCYrA=&h=480&w=640&sz=124&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=IJILBG7XYN0knM:&tbnh=141&tbnw=179&ei=TyIXTu7qG4mr0AGd3KUz&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dfertibella%2Bfalse%2Bpositive%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rlz%3D1T4TSHB_enUS427US427%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D607%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divnsfd&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=119&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429, r:0, s:0&tx=58&ty=79, as well as a false FertiBella positive that the urine of a woman's husband produced! http://www.cafemom.com/group/30079/forums/read/14126293/fertibella

LTCB - I was wondering about that too. I got my period right after starting, so I panicked thinking I had started taking them wrong or something. I emailed their cust service and this is what they sent back:
From: support@fertibella.com [mailto:support@fertibella.com]
Dear Mary,
Thank you for contacting LeRoche Benicoeur Consumer Healthcare. You may begin taking FertiBella anytime in your cycle, and FertiBella is best taken with food. Take one tablet daily with meals. Begin with the blue Month 1 bottle, and once completed, begin taking the pink Month 2 bottle. FertiBella may be taken alongside prenatal supplements while trying to conceive.
If you find out that you are pregnant, then you can discontinue use of FertiBella Advanced Conception and switch to taking prenatal vitamins to give your body all the vitamins and minerals it needs while pregnant.
If I can be of further service, please feel free to contact me. If you have any questions you may also contact customer service at [protected] or log on to www.fertibella.com.
Sincerely,
Meredith
Correspondence Specialist
FertiBella Advanced Conception
Hope that helps. I have been on for about a month now. My cycle is better regulated and I ovulated this week, so i think that is a good omen. No complaints so far.

@LTCB- You can start at anytime really. But if you expecting your menstrual, start when it comes on. So it will give it a chance to get in your system. I'm on my last pill of month 1. I had irregular periods since I was 18yrs old. I can truly say that since I've been taking FertiBella my last 2 cycle have been regular (5 days ea.). I actually started my first bottle on my ovulation day, I was late 10 days. My period came on the 10th and stayed 5 days. My husband says it working, that I feel different. So hopefully July is OUR month! Wishing all success!

Im on week number two and my hormones are so much better than before i was taking it! Even my "time of the month" was so much less crampy and horrible. I tried several other pills and was so disappointed..even if hormone balance is all i get from this its natural with no side effects! I called the customer service number and spoke with a really sweet agent who explained and confirmed that you can CANCEL at any time! We will get charged just for the first two months if we dont return the bottles. There will never be a miracle drug for anything, and most of these pills arent for people with anything more than mild infertility problems. Im happy with my results so far, its nice not to feel so out of whack and miserable once a month.

Thank you Tasha! I'm about finish with month 1. My hormones are through the roof. I can see changes in my body. Not to be gross but the cervical mucas is thicker than before. My husband has told me several times that he feels the changes also. Still not pregnant but hopeful bottle #2 will change that!

I wouldn't worry about it, navyife36... When you ordered, it tells you right in the shopping cart what date you'll be billed... plus you should have an email saying you won't be billed until the trial is up. I just got my shipment a week ago and I have not been charged yet. I guess you can always just send your used or unused bottles back for a refund if there is some sort of auto-shipping. I've heard so many positive stories about fertibella that I'm not going to give up hope.

I've been taking Fertibella for a week now and my hormones are so much better than they were before. I have to admit nw im scared of the billing thing, im ok paying 79.00 a month for two months of pills but i guess i assumed we'd get billed at the end of those two months. So if anyone can help me with this before the 30 days are up id appreciate it. Thanks!

Today is my first day taking FertiBella. I ordered it one May 9th and received my package on May 16th. I have to admit the first time I call customer service I thought it was disconnected but one number was off. I finally got customer service and they were nice, they helped me right away. I have been TTC for 2 years now. I'm hoping from all of the comments I've read, that they are true. I'm so excited!

OMG, I LOVE FertiBella! I just bought it for the 2nd time after having success w/ it last year. No side effects, same price as other fertility treatments, free pregnancy tests... positive result in less than 3 months... I'm singing like a canary! I totally disagree with this bogus review.

Every woman is different. My coworker friend recommended fertibella to me. She said she had been TTC for years with no luck, but this treatment worked for her within 4 months. I was hesitant to try at first, but I figured at the very least I would get some pregnancy tests and ovulation strips out of the deal. After 9 months of trying, you can imagine how surprised I was when the strip came back positive within the first60 days! Common sense would tell you that not everyone has the same infertility issues... and products work differently on different bodies.

The ingredients in Fertibella are "Generally Recognized As Safe, " which was good enough for me. Some of the products that are "FDA approved" for fertility treatment (like HCG), but you get all these unwanted side effects like total exhaustion, stomach aches and crazy mood swings. Just before the month trial ended, I called their # [protected] -- is that what you called?) and they were super nice. They said i could cancel, but that it's not unusual to take 2 cycles for results to occur, so I decided to wait. Sure enough, 2 weeks my HPT came back positive. I couldnt be happier.

I ordered Fertibella 02/11/2011, and my 2 month supply along with 20 pregancy test got to me by 02/16/2011. It is expensive and although they offer you the free trial, there is a catch. There always is. However, the product works. I have 4 pills left in month 1 and I just got a Positive Pregnancy test. I've been TTC for 2 years. There billing and customer service practices may suck, but there product is the truth
