HI all ~


I remember a while back some one had in their Signature - that they gave up on IUI and IVF - and started taking herbs and I think Acupuncture and became pregnant- do you know who that was I wanted to find out the herbal part...


I have had several failed IUIs and just had a failed IVF and have no more $$ for another IVF as I had to pay for it completely pout of pocket.


If anyone remembers I would greatly appreciate it


Thanks


Laura

I am not sure who wrote about herbs on here, but I have been ttc for almost a year w/ 2 miscarriages. I am starting herbs for the very first time this cycle. I am taking EPO capsules (3 daily), Vitex (1 daily), and dong quai (2 daily only until ovulation). There are a handful of other differant herbs like false unicorn root, raspberry leaves etc... that are said to be very affective also.
I am going to see how these go for now, and add and take away what i feel i need. Hopefully someone with experience using herbs will reply because I am interested to know how others experiences went. Good luck!

Thanks I have heard of some of those too - and also not sure if you have tried but accupunture is good to - I have gone for a wahile and when I stop my FSH rises so I have to say that has helped


The RE I go to recoomends pycnogenol they say they have seen this help too


Hopefully some others will give us so input too


Thanks for your info

Thanks for the link. I had no idea about the DHEA. You will have to keep posted about how it works for you. Good luck girl!
