Just got back from an amazing trip to Peru, and let me tell you - it was something else! The culture, the sights, the people - everything was just so incredible. But what really caught me off guard was my newfound appreciation for coca tea. I never thought I’d be sipping on this traditional drink, but there I was, enjoying it every morning. Have you ever had a surprising experience like this while traveling? Share your stories!
If you have never tried cocaine, I wouldn’t recommend trying coca leaves or tea for altitude sickness. These substances can leave your body quickly. Kudos to you for living in the moment despite the challenges of IVF.
Just returned from Peru and mistakenly thought coco leaves were harmless. Turns out they don’t help with altitude sickness. Luckily, the over-the-counter meds were effective. Altitude sickness usually hits me hard in Colorado but I felt fantastic without medication.
Cocaine is a stimulant and not safe during pregnancy due to its effects. Though it may help with altitude sickness, migraines, and hangovers, consuming only a few leaves is far from experiencing the full effects of the drug. It is important to be cautious as it can lead to a false positive drug test and should not be brought across borders.
Some individuals I know have used cocaine leading up to a frozen embryo transfer, and it’s surprising that babies can be born to drug addicts and people can conceive during times of hardship. Just relax and have some tea.
This is essentially cocaine. It may be a smaller amount, but it is still cocaine.
I am Peruvian-American and recommend trying muña tea or agua de florida for altitude sickness. In my experience, I was in Cusco in August, drank coca tea, and then underwent an egg retrieval in October at 41 years old, with successful results.
I am in a similar situation - Recently had the ER and my spouse and I plan to hike Machu Picchu in late September before the implantation. We are thinking of training in high altitudes but are concerned about the effects of coca leaf tea on the implantation. Should we consider using over-the-counter medications instead?
