Hello everyone,

I know this has probably been done many times before so i apologize, i did a search but couldnt really find anything helpful. Im currently taking Vitex and thinking of taking Saw Palmetto. I read that this can harm a baby boy if you were to fall pregnant with one? I just need to know because i thought the saw palmetto might be useful to decrease testosterone and hopefully bring my cycle back to normal.

What is everyone taking while ttc? Vitex has only given me limited success and i need to find something else to try. I have a reproductive specialist appointment in October and im scared he will offer me clomid and metformin (by the way im not technically IR) and i wont be able to say no because i want a baby so bad! I would rather try some natural methods first. So what is everyone taking and what kind of success have you had?
Have many people had good success with acupuncture to bring back the cycle?

Thanks so much for reading. Im so desperate for help...
