I-Mensies Forum v.0.9.3.110705

Me and my husband are trying for the past 3 months and no luck so far . I really hope this website will help. I just found it today. Anyone had any luck with this website?

Hi Amanda,My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years!! We've gone through a lot of things, like tubal pregnancy, failed IUI and one failed IVF. Fortunately and miraculously, the second IVF worked for us. I have been diagnosed with PCOS.....So, what I'm trying to say here - 3 months is extremely very short period to become desperate. I've heard that for those who TTC for the first time one year of attempts is a normal time range. Your chances to get pregnant in each single period is about only 25%. Have you tried using any ovulation prediction kits? This staff may help a lot!  

Don't be discouraged, Amanda. I agree with Madina 3 months is nothing. Try to monitor your basal body temperature and figure out when you are ovulating. You are most likely to get pregnant within 24 hours of your ovulation. Apparently, you can track your BBT here for free. Or just use pen and paper.

We suffered an ectopic pregnancy in November and have been TTC since January.  I'm 41, so expect it to take longer.  I've gone down the herbal route with a mixture of red raspberry leaf tea -It has the reputation of helping to relax the uterus. It is also recommended to help the fertilized egg attach to the uterine lining and stay attached. It is a phytoprogesterone, which is a plant that acts like progesterone, therefore it can be used to increase progesterone levels in the body.  And red clover tea -It contains estrogen like compounds which promote estrogen production which can boost estrogen levels in women with estrogen deficiencies. .
My partner is taking maca -This Peruvian herb is at the forefront of many studies in increasing sperm count. Maca is used to increase fertility and libido in both men and women by regulating hormones.
Have also found out the peas are a natural contraceptive, so partner has been banned from his favourite Pea n Ham soup!!Will be doing a pregnancy test in the morning as suffering from tender breasts since ovulation date, and have started suffering from dizziness and nausia in the mornings.  Fingers crossed!!

Toni, good luck to you guys! I have a friend who's mother was 43 when she got pregnant. My other friend is 6months in and she is 40.

Its totally possible. Don't give up! Crossing fingers for you

But how could this remede help us in the bad case of ectopic? I heard that progesteron is required to support a tiny embryo in its first few weeks of being in the womb. How could this help to avoid ectopic? Or I am totally missing the point?

Toni says she is 41-y-s old. Sometimes older women may not be producing enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy. This is what she probably means talking about red raspberry leaf tea. This is a very good thing to know... in my mind.

Natural remedies to help and sustain healthy pregnancy - might be a very useful topic. Don't you think?

Having already had what seemed like two instant conceptions in my twenties, I didn't really think there would be any problems.this time round.  I certainly didn't think about ectopic pregnancies.  I had been on the contraceptive pill 'cerazette', until last summer, which has a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, so maybe I still had some in my system.
I'm going the herbal route to try and boost my fertility naturally, as I'm hoping I wont have to see my Dr and ask for help because of our ages.  Obviously we are fertile due to the ectopic, but my other half keeps joking that it was his one good sperm that he'd been saving!  I'm trying not to get paranoid about another ectopic but having joined the facebook ectopic pregnancy group, it seems that some people have suffered more than once with this. I found some details online that I paid for on what kind of foods etc help with fertility, so if any one wants to read up on them, message me and I'll send you a copy.(FOC of course)

Toni, I was diagnosed with PCOS and it was probably the major part of my infertility problem. It was a long way to become pregnant including a heart-breaking experience of ectopic, almost certainly due to Clomid over stimulation and my PCOS. It was my first and so sorrow pregnancy. After this, I decided to stop poisoning my body with all this medications, and went through IVF process, which was immediately successful.

Toni, never give up! Unfortunately, ectopic happens too frequently to us, especially if you intake certain medications or have other complications like Strangeness mentioned here. Bad things happen to us. If you are in the group of high risk of ectopic, and I think you are after this sad experience, you may try more advance techniques like IVF. Of course, it does not 100% guaranty lack complications or overall success, but still far more(!) than just helpful.

Toni, I am very interesting in your recommendations... I think... I do not have extra money very believe that nature can heal better. What would you recommend???

IVF also requires hormonal medication and AWFULLY EXPENSIVE! medication and procedure. I had better ask for something healthier, something what could help w/o side effects, something I can readily afford.

With all due respect, IVF does help to conceive, while all these FDA-never-considered remedies are just a placebo if not a poison. It is expensive but if try hard enough you will find a good but not overwhelmingly expensive clinic in your region. From your public profile, I can see you are in NYC area. Here is the place to consider: American Fertility and I would recommend Dr. Galina Korpenko. She is the real stork . I paid much less than $9,000 (was an estimation)
