hello there, welcome to HCM.
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concerns and your clarification is as under:
1. Since she is trying to concieve and there is history of ectopic pregnancy,
thus have a good OB/GYN Opinion who will go for relevant examination (PCOS) and investigations. (Hormonal/Thyroid imbalance)
2. Shatavri is rich in steroidal saponins (estrogen regulator) which helps in menstrual cycle regulation and improve ovulation.
. Since not achieving pregnancy itself is a STRESS which affect Ovulation and causes reproductive system problems (uterine fibroids,endometriosis,blocked fallopian tube,ovarian cysts and since Shatavri improves the function of WBC (white blood cells) which helps to reduce inflammation and helps the reproductive system to withstand the affect of STRESS.
. Shatavri contains mucilage which improves the cervical mucus and helps to protect the mucous memebrane of cervix and facilitate in meeting of egg with sperm.
. Since you are taking it in capsule form thus one can take upto 1-2 gm per day but since Conception is a concern make sure to talk about the same with an experienced and qualified Ayurveda Physician (near you)
3. In nutshell Shatavari in Ayurveda means : shat:100,vari:enemy i.e. enemy of 100 disease in females thus you can use it safely/continously but with proper guidance
Hope i could answer all your queries.
