A friend of mine had fertility problems and finally got pregnant after 5yrs and a miscarriage. She didn't want to go down the same path again when she wanted another baby. I suggested she see my homeopath. She was willing to try anything that didn't involve drugs so she went. Six months later she was pregnant! Homeopathy corrects the entire person so that the body can function properly.

HAve you considered learning more about your own body and fertility cycles? An excellent and empowering resource is "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. She helps you pinpoint what is actually going on so you can determine what you actually need from the medical profession. Good luck!

Eat yams. Also, there is a book called The Infertility Diet available through amazon.com

Go to www.boma-usa.org. ...The Billings method is amazing for helping to conceive, even if you are irregular. I have a teacher in my family who would be happy to help you as well, she is counseling two or three couples who are trying to conceive.

I think there are creams you can rub on your hips and thighs at health stores. If you use it, you might check with your doctor to see how much, how often, and when to stop. If you end up pregnant, you might only need to do that for the first 3 months.

I also just read that eating 1 avocado a week helps with the female organs.

You might consider getting the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I heard it's amazing, and that every woman should read it so they know their bodies better.

Hi, S.,

At 42, I have gone through virtually every fertility routine under the sun (IVF, ICSI, ovulation prediction, acupuncture, Fertility Blend pills, etc.). After much effort, $40,000 in out-of-pocket payments, painful, and heartbreak (two miscarriages), I conceived and bore my two sons, now 19 months old and 5 months old. From probably hundreds of hours of reading books and medical journals and numerous discussions with reproductive endocrinologists (REs), I don't think that trying to raise progesterone levels will help increase ability to conceive. Various REs have told me that low progesterone level is a SYMPTOM, not a cause, of fertility problems, so some other factor needs to be addressed. May I ask your age? My main problems were age and an immune disorder (blood clotting too easily).
Feel free to contact me at ____@____.com if you want some referrals REs or other infertility specialists or want to ask me any other questions.

Good luck,
L. E

You must believe that you will get pregnant. Once your body is ready and it believes you will become pregnant. When in doubt you stress. Start saying to yourself I am pregnant, smile and think of all the good things that come along with it( love and happiness). Your husband to must believe and let go of the doubt. It will happen! There are many miracles that happen every day. Stay positive smile and believe. :) Also, eat very healthy and exercise to keep your mind busy and body in shape. Once you let go of the doubt and believe in yourself, your esteem and thoughts will transform your body into pregnancy.
