A wild yam cream that gives your body the raw material to make its own progesterone — so your cycle can find a steady, predictable rhythm again.
These are the six things we hear most from women in our community who are trying to conceive.
Your cycle length swings so much you never know what to expect next.
Months of light spotting instead of a full period showing up.
Diagnosed with PCOS and told your cycle "may never be textbook."
Charting temperature and ovulation for months with no clear pattern.
Your doctor's advice is "just relax" — but you want to actually do something.
Every irregular cycle feels like another month added to the wait.
Ovulation, a regular luteal phase, and a uterine lining ready for implantation all depend on steady progesterone. Most solutions try to add hormones from the outside. Anya's works differently.
Wild yam root contains diosgenin — a plant compound that's the raw building block your body already uses to manufacture its own progesterone.
Applied topically, it absorbs directly into the bloodstream through the skin — bypassing the liver, unlike an oral supplement.
Because it's a raw material and not a synthetic hormone, your body produces what it needs, when it needs it — no flooding, no crash.
An irregular cycle is usually a progesterone story. When your body doesn't have enough raw material to build progesterone steadily, ovulation gets unpredictable, luteal phases run short, and periods arrive whenever they feel like it.
Mark is a regenerative farmer, not a hormone specialist. When his wife hit early menopause hard, he went looking for a real answer — and found it in wild yam's diosgenin, the raw material behind natural progesterone production.
Since then, we've heard from a different group of women too — younger, still cycling, but stuck in the same place: irregular periods, PCOS, months of trying to conceive without a clear reason why. The mechanism is the same building block, earlier in the story. Diosgenin doesn't just support the end of a woman's hormonal life — it supports the rhythm of it, whenever your body needs the help.
Applied in sync with your cycle, not just once a day at random. Here's the protocol our community follows.
Rest phase — pause application during your period.
Apply 1/8 tsp (625mg) morning & evening to thin-skinned areas (inner arm, inner thigh, lower abdomen).
Increase to 1/4 tsp (1.25g) morning & evening through the luteal phase.
No recent period to count from? Start today and treat it as Day 5 — the protocol resets around your body's own signals.
Individual results vary — this is what women in our community have told us.
My cycles had been anywhere from 35 to 60 days for years. Two months into using Anya's, my cycle became regular for the first time I can remember. Last week I found out I'm pregnant. I still can't quite believe it.
I'd only had light spotting for nearly a year and constant fatigue. Within weeks my brain fog cleared, and by month two my full period returned right on schedule. It feels like my body's finally on my side.
I'd basically given up trying to track my cycle because it was different every single month. Three months in, my app started predicting my period within a day or two of accurate. Small thing, but it changed everything about how I plan.

Rich in diosgenin, the raw plant compound your body uses to manufacture its own progesterone — supporting a steadier cycle length.
Supports the pituitary gland's role in cycle regulation — often used traditionally to help bring irregular periods back on track.
Isoflavones that support balanced estrogen alongside progesterone, plus skin and cardiovascular benefits.
Many women in our community use Anya's specifically while trying to conceive, to support a more regular cycle. That said, we recommend checking in with your doctor or naturopath before starting, especially if you're also on fertility medication.
If you think you may be pregnant, pause use and speak with your physician or naturopath about whether and how to continue, since this hasn't been studied specifically in pregnancy.
Most women in our community notice initial shifts within 4–6 weeks, with more consistent cycle length by 2–3 months of regular use. Hormonal changes take a few cycles to show up — consistency matters more than speed here.
We'd recommend running it by whoever's managing your treatment first — they know your protocol and can tell you if there's anything to be mindful of.
Many women with PCOS are part of our community. Because PCOS involves a wider hormonal picture, we'd still suggest looping in your doctor, but the progesterone-support mechanism is the same one that helps with cycle regularity generally.
A pea-sized amount, twice daily, rotated across soft skin sites. Used as directed, one jar lasts roughly 30–45 days.
Small batch, 9–12 month distillation. Batch 89% sold out — next restock has a long wait.
