I think my biggest reason for switching to natural alternatives was because I had already gone through 5 rounds of Clomid with no "success" - I o'ed every month, but couldn't get pg. It was frustrating me. I mean, I have a body that is ovulating, my husband is producing good, quality sperm, how hard is it for my egg to meet up with his sperm??
I did a ton of research and finally decided, after being told by my OB that we would have to do Clomid + IUI as our next step, that I wasn't going to put any more hormones in my body. I told my DH that we were going to try herbs for 6 months before re-evaluating. After 3 months (2 cycles), we got pg.
I felt a million times better doing the herbs instead of the hormones. I didn't have any s/e's from the herbs, but with Clomid, I had every s/e in the book - endless headaches for 5 days, flashes of light, hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue.
