Hi all, ive been asked to post and tell those of you that are interested in my success with using agnus castus as i understand a few of you sre trying it at the mo!
we spent roughly a year ttc but other than a few false alarms nothing happened. we were considering going to see the doc when i got hold of a book by Zita West called "Guide to getting pregnant", i read it from cover to cover, couldnt put it down, as she talks so much sense without patronising and really filled me with hope. in the book she talks about many things but what interested me was what she said about alot of infertility possibly being linked with slight vitamin/mineral definancy from both parties. I worked out what i thought both DH and myself were lacking(baring inmind i think we have a reasonably good diet with plenty of fruit and veg etc), and on 26th july 2006(i keep a diary!) i started us on;
me: twice daily AG tincture(drops in water)
Folic acid
25mg Zinc
500mg Eve primrose
Vit B
Vit E
Him: 25mg Zinc
Vit B
On the 23rd Aug, feeling crap and sore but thinking little of it, i did a test and nearly fell over with shock when i got a BFP! sadly i m/c on 7th sept, prob one of the hardest things ive ever been thru, and i went to bed for a week and just sobbed, but i realised that if i'd managed to fall once, i could do it again, and decided that i was not going to be defeated so thought, lets get straight back on with it(which i realise some of you may find odd so soon after a m/c but,........) we started trying a few days after my bleeding stopped(tmi, sorry!, but someone is bound to ask!) and i immediatly started back on the Vits etc (as listed before)
You have know idea how stunned i was when 4 weeks later i got what i thought was the start of my first AF since the m/c, only for it to stop after a few hours. When i didnt start again i thought, i wonder if.......... so did a cheapie from tesco and BANG, BFP! i went straight back out and bought a CB, a FR and more tesco cheapies, all of them gave me a BFP, the results getting quicker and stronger with each test.
I went straight to the early preg unit at our local hospital(as i'd been told to do) and at first they didnt believe me, they said it was prob hormone left over from the previous preg. But inside i knew it wasnt and had to hassle and hassle them to take bloods etc, followd by several scans over the next 2/3 weeks, all of which showed a developing pregnancy.
I am now 23weeks pregnant and other than a few scares, things are going well. I cant say 100% that the vits etc got me preg, but i do believe that after a year of trying and getting more and more desperate, they did something. I would recommened that every woman read Zita Wests book(cheap on amazon, ebay etc)i gave me hope and encouragement when i thought maybe it would never happen for us. If anyone wants to ask me anything i'll happily chat, and i wish all those trying lots of luck and baby dust for when your time comes!xxx
