Concieving

Try the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It worked for both my sister-in-law and I. Good luck!

If you don't already have it, run right out and get the book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" (http://www.tcoyf.com/) - it's fantastic, fascinating, and I know several couples who have conceived with the help of the information in this book!

The book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is incredible and teaches you all the ins and outs of fertility. It's gotten me and all of my friends pregnant! You can buy it on Amazon.com. I would go out and buy a thermometer too... it's a necessity.

Has your doctor given you chlomid? That is the common fertility pill that most doctors use. It is prescription, but most docs will prescribe it after 6 mo of trying and not conceiving. If you do go the doc route and need some names I can give you some.

i was told by a friend if you are a little bigger like me you might have a high acid levle and you should drink 64 oz of really lemony water to equalize it i did it and 10 mo later i had a boy dosent hurt to try :) good luck

I have read "Your Fertility Signals" by Merryl Winstein and "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon. Both have specific information on healthy conception.

Hi S. L, Check out this product: https://www.arbonne.com/shop_online/showitem.asp?ProductI...
It really helped me conceive my 2 children and helped with morning sickness, uterine contractions after, and post partum depression afterwards as well. Email me if you would like more information: ____@____.com

MY advice is to ignore most of the other posts posted here (although I do like "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and recommend that too) and follow your gut instincts. If you have already experienced 3 years with infertility (and that's plenty for anyone) than you probably already know about many of the things mentioned here. And you've probably tried many of them. There is nothing wrong with looking for other ways that work but I think you are wise to start now. No one ever regretted looking for help too soon.

You could try accupuntcure. I have heard great things about Jeff Faundem who works out of 2 locations in Denver. He works with alot of women who have fertility issues and the ladies that I have talked to say that this helped tremendously.

It also took me several years to concieve my first, and also took me over a yr. to conceive my 2nd. They will be 4 yrs. apart, I am being induced on Thurs.
I ended up having to take clomid this time around, for about 10 mos. and did about 8 inseminations- none worked. I then moved on to the shot, did another insem. it did not work, and the next month concieved at home on our own. I think the shot helped a lot for that.
I also had that HSG done, to check the flow of my tubes, which they were fine.
I feel for you. A lot of money, and time... Not to mention, blood, sweat, and tears.
If you need any numbers, let me know. I have 2 specialists!
Good luck!

I tried for three years as well then I took clomid. We had our boy. We thought we would have to go through the same process again when we were ready but we had another boy only 3 months after delivering the first. I just remember to count my blessings for what I have as well as hope for the future.

HI, Have you been trying to get pregnant? My sister in law had to have help from the DR. the first time and now they have 4 kids. I had a miscarrage the first time and it was extra hard because it took so long to get pregnant. My DR. said be careful some women have a hard time the first time, but when your body figures out how to do it no telling what can happen. We have 3 kids now. So before you try a bunch of potions and pills try getting pregnant the old fashion way. Be sure to make it fun so it doesn't seem like work. Good Luck.

When we were trying to conceive, we did Acupuncture. Our fertility doctor recommended it. I honestly think that it helped.

I had trouble getting pregnant with my first and I was told to go to acupuncture and it worked. I went to a fertility acupucturist in Fort Collins, CO. I would try and find one in your area, it is well worth it. I wish I would have known about acupuncture before I spent thousands of dollars with the doctors!! Good luck!

Some women I know after taking Geritol became pregnant and other prayed and asked God to open their womb and he did so prayer changes things.

I'm another one that used acupuncture to get pregnant and it worked. No reliable cycle before acu; pregnant in two months after acu with two 28-day cycles. Good luck!

there is an alternative therapy doc in west jordan that can help. he won't treat like normal but will help you analyze your body and figure out when you are ovulating to help you get pregnant. he does free 15 min consults so you can go in and see if you like him. good luck. ###-###-####.

Have you had any blood work done? Resent research has shown that woman who have a clotting disorder have a hard time staying pregnant b/c a clot can clog off the placenta from getting adequate blood supply. this is one factor out of many. good luck!

Please contact me and I can give you some pointers. I specialize is natural means to do this. Dr. C. ###-###-####

Hello S.,

I feel your pain It took my husband and I three years to have our daughter. We ended up seeing a holistic doctor and we got pregnant right away. We are know trying for our second as well and again not happening. So we have considered that option again. Good luck to guys!

Give the OV Watch a try. We used it and it helped predict my cycle - ended up getting pregnant two months after buying it. Its amazing how "off" you can be from what is generally considered standard for the best timing. Worked great for us and for a friend of ours.

As for herbs there's no compelling evidence, even with all the studies, that they can help improve fertility. Red Raspberry Leaf Tea does help strengthen and tone though (causes mini muscle contractions) so it can help and can hurt depending, so people don't recommend taking it in the first three months from what I've read.

I believe there is evidence that regular exercise can improve fertility of both men and women.

I did Tai Chi and water aerobics and that helped me feel great if nothing else. I believe being flexible and in shape definitely helped the birthing process, but that's just my experience.

Oh, and the Robitussin thing has been verified, so that can help too if your problem is mucosal.

S.,

After 5 years TTC, we ended up having to do in-vitro, with only a 30% chance of getting pregnant (this was after other surgeries to treat endo and the use of Clomid). That was with our first child.

I just had my second child and we got pregnant naturally!! I was taking Vitex and drinking Red Raspberry Leaf Tea daily(it has to be leaf, not just raspberry tea). I had takent he RRL tea during the end of my first pregnancy, because it is supposed to help with strengthening and toning the uterine muscles, but I discovered later that it also had uses as a fertility aid, including that strengthening. We had been trying for several months before I discovered these two things, and within one month of starting them together, I was pregnant! It wasn't supposed to be able to happen naturally!!

I hope something works for you. I was able to find both of the above items at an organic grocery, though the RRL tea was also at the normal supermarket.

S.

I'm assuming you learned about natural family planning in trying to conceive last time, but you might try ccli.org to get a hold of the couple to couple league. They have information on nutritional things that can help. Another source is on NaPro Technology through the Pope Paul VI Institute...they have an e-mail you can get advise from...they will have you chart your cycle and from there should be able to give you some advice or a doctor who specializes in NaPro Technology so that he/she can help. Good luck!

Check out "Natural way to better babies" by Franciska Naish. It is from Australia so you have to order it online but it goes through all sorts of foods and vitamins that help with all areas of fertility. It is not an infertility book but a great process to help your body become ready to conceive. My husband and I worked through it, it is about a 4 month process, and conceived on our first try. All the very best to you,
K.

One of my friends had been trying with his wife for several years, and had done everything except in vitro when she threw her back out doing some chore. She went to the chiropractor and during her adjustment, he adjusted her hips. He told her then that they were very out of alignment and that if she had been having trouble getting pregnant, she would get pregnant now. And she was pregnant 3 weeks later (outside of a doctor's office). Just thought I'd share this. Good luck!

Western medicine tends to treat the symptom not the problem. I have found that eastern medicine works well (and naturally) to treat the problem in order to alleviate the symptom. Accupuncture helps your body heal itself. My family has been going to Dr. Yomi for over 10 years! I know he treats infertility! He treated me with accupuncture and herbs during my pregnancy too!
