I have had problems carrying pregnancies in the past. I also have a hard time concieving becasue of this. I have one child and desprately want another. I don't have the money to see a specialist, but the want for another child is unimaginable. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to help my body get pregnant. I know it sounds stupid but I need a little help. If anyone knows a way to speed it along I would love to hear it....I'm not getting any younger so I'm sure that doesn't help me any. Thanks! ;}

What can I do next?

my father (almost 50) and his new wife are having their second baby this month and they swear by Protein. They said they both ate buffalo meat and lots of food with protein in it and it only took 2 months. Dont know if that is why but its worth a shot.
Best of luck

Have you ever considered acupuncture? Before I got pregnant I saw an acupuncturist and she totally regulated my period and I had no trouble getting pregnant. there's a lot they can do for fertility issues and may even be able to do something to help you carry the baby. It would be worth looking into. And a whole lot less expensive than a fertility specialist. Good luck!

Hi J.! :)

I might be able to help you!
My hubby and I tried for 5 years to have children. Eventually, I just came to the conclusion that I couldn't have kids. It was a very sad time for me.
I was feeling very tired at that time and kept getting allergic to different foods, so my mom suggested a parasite cleansing program. I got on one and a couple months later, my periods, which had never been normal, became like clockwork.
I was feeling better too, so--wanting to keep it up, I changed my diet and avoided all additives, started juicing lots of fresh fruit and veggies and generally just focused on eating lots of fresh foods.
As a result, I dropped 16 lbs in 6 weeks and became pregnant! I now have 2 beautiful children. :)
It's my very firm belief that a healthy diet and lifestyle is the answer to probabley most infertility.
Don't waste your time and money on treatments. Just focus on getting your body into the healthiest condition you can!

Good luck to you! :)

i think they sell ovulation kits where you can test to see when you're ovulating, i think they're over the counter too. that would be the fastest way, to ensure you're ovulating when you try to conceive.

You should definitely see a specialist for a fertility work up, which most insurances should cover since it is not infertiltiy treatment. You really need to have all your hormone levels tested especially your FSH and LH and your progesterone. Your family docotor may even be able to run the tests for you. If you have trouble carrying pregnancies a progesterone supplement can help to minimize the risk of miscarriage.. Ok all that said......

Alternatives, yoga is a wonderful way to relax your body and open it up for pregnancy. Especially those poses that open up your hips and pelvis areas. Also at home ovulation kits are a great way to really pin point when you are ovulating and when you are most likely to conceive. They can be a bit expensive, but they are well worth it. Also as an afterthought, even with all your past problems, your current trouble could be on your partners side so make sure He is doing everything possible to increase his fertility as well.

Good Luck, and best wishes!

Hi J.,

I can imagine how you feel, for my cousins, and one aunt of mine had the same problem. I learned that you have to be really healthy in order for your chances to increase in having a baby w/o the specialist. One sure way is taking pharmaceutical grade supplements to help your body with any toxins in your body. After they started to take these supplements (husband too) they had babies, like nothing ever happened before. I would really suggest that you try it, it will help. I am not a doctor but if it worked for all of them, why not you?, I just hope that you at least check it out. If you want more info on them just let me know.

Take prenatal vitamins - - - get exercise, rest and eat well...

Try to abstain as much as you can and then go crazy during your ovulation period which is a few days in your cycle - - - I can tell by my body changes, but I think you can buy an inexpensive test at the drug store that will tell you when you are ovulating as well...

My baby just turned 5 and I am expecting my next son in July - - - i am 36 - had 3 miscarriages before this strong one survived...

I was on the internet yesterday and I ran across a supplement called fertile CM. The website is www.fertileCM.com. I don't have any experience with this supplement but look up the website and do the research. Let me know how it works out for you, if you decide to look in to it or not.

Do you want natural ways? Use a natural progesterone cream and false unicorn root. Be careful on what you ask for though. I was watching one of my "baby shows" and a lady was in early menopause and used both of them for a period of time and became pregnant with quads!!! Good luck!
