[Sizzles]

Trying 2.5 years. I've put in brackets the time spent on these approaches at different points in the 2.5 years, so not trying all of them together! Blue items are those which are still current approaches.

DH fertility vitamins (sporadic taking of 2 months worth over about 5 months1)
prenatal vitamins/folic acid (forever!)
baby asprin (one month)
grapefruit juice (2 years)
pineapple juice/pineapple
drinking more water
eating jelly running up to ov - to increase cm
drinking Badoit sparkling water - neutralises cm ph (9 months or so?)
various general dietary changes, e.g. cut right down on alcohol and caffeine, eating nuts and seeds, avocados, cutting down on red meat, eating more fish

bbt charting (one year)
cbfm (3 months)
reflexology
acupuncture (2 cycles)
visualisation/pma
working part time (3 weeks!)
fertility books/internet (big time!)
preseed

good luck and fx crossed for the clomid hun

 

[2have4kids]

I've used lots of supplements but recently focused on antioxidents too.
Soft cups (last 4 cycles of 15 with 2 pregnancies in those last 4 months)
Antioidents:

• Inositol
• L-arginine
• N-Acetyl Cysteine
• vit E
• coQ10
• resveratrol
• green tea
• selenium

Vits & Supplements

• C
• D (liquid)
• B6
• liquid Iron
• EPO
• folic acid
• cold effects daily ginseng
• Vitex
• oil of oregano (my immune system hasn't been the best)

What didn't work is Black Cohash, I wound up in hospital after 3 days of taking it. The doctors told me not to take chinese herbs because they aren't regulated (and have cause liver damage to many North Americans). Many of them recommended for infertility like Black Cohash and Dong Quai are also contraindicated with pregnancy.

I also would never ever take Soy, there's far too much proven evidence that it harms fertility outweighing the anecdotal hype on these blogs. Whenever I've asked for links to show where it's actually helped, no one was able to put forward even 1 good link. There are better alternatives to help women ovulate, even those with Endo & PCOS. Soy has been proven to render offspring to those who consume it infertile. I would never wish that on my children.

 

[happyshopper]

Me and my oh have been trying for just over 2 years. we've tried:
Epo
Pregnacare
Soya isoflavones
Vitex
Royal jelly, bee pollen & propolis
Red raspberry leaf tea
Cough medicine
Amazing grass wheatgrass powder
Pcynogenol
B vitamins
Softcups
preseed
Vitamin d
Maca
Rhodiola rosea
My next plan is paleo diet & coq10 x

Also, I agree with 2have about soya. Since I took soya isoflavones my periods have been painful and heavy. I think it may have worsen by estrogen dominance x

 

[EvieBee]

This is cycle 29 for us and we're tried the following so far:

• Pre-natal vitamins
• Evening Primrose oil (pre-ov only)
• Baby aspirin
• Vitamin B6
• Instead Soft Cups
• Charting BBT
• Acupuncture
• Eating and drinking only warm/hot things
• Keeping really warm (e.g. permanent hot water bottle to hand!)
• Drinking ginger tea
• OPK's
• Hormone and sperm testing - all fine
• Hypnotherapy

I have a HSG and ultrasound booked for a fortnights time as well. Although PMA says we won't need it (currently 7dpo).
