Fertility (supplement) Cocktails...

Hey Ladies!!

So here I am at the one year mark since I started TTC #2. I got pregnant without trying for my DS and had the easiest pregnancy and birth. I then had the mirena put in for 2 years. I had it removed a year ago yesterday.

In Jan of this year I got pregnant and had my first miscarriage the day after Valentines Day.

In May I got pregnant again and ended up having a D&C on June 30th.

Since then I have not been able to get pregnant at all. I've been charting and have noticed that my cycles are wonkey and my LP has dropped down to 9 days and I ovulate late. UGH!

So I've already been doing acupuncture but now I'm ready to try a holistic route before I go back to the dr and ask for something stronger.

Last cycles I started Vitex, B6, B12, Vit D, Calcium, Iron, Zinc.

This cycles (I'm on CD5) I'm doing: Vitex, B6, B12, Vit d, Vit C, EPO, Red Raspberry Leaf tea, zinc, iron, acupuncture, calcium, baby asprin, prenatal, melatonin. After O is confirmed I plan on using progesterone cream.

Has anyone else used any of these "recipes" and had a BFP?

I see that this post is old, and I am hoping that you had success getting pregnant!

I wanted the most natural path to TTC too, but we ended up caving and using Clomid at one point. I definitely ovulated early and had big follicles according to the ultra-sound. That was as much intervention as we were willing to use, and unfortunately, we still did not get pregnant.

Some other things that we tried were:

*eating pineapple (especially the core)
*using pre-seed (any other lubricant will kill sperm, including saliva)
*using Mucinex to help increase CM (that really worked)
*of course, charting and using opks

I have also seen a lot of fertility diets that help boost fertility. I think, for us, we have scar tissue issues causing us not to get pregnant, but I've read lots of ladies have success with these more "natural" remedies before using medical interventions. Best of luck to you!
