Red face Any tips on where I should start?

My body failed to become pregnant on a mixture of metformin, provera, estradiol, high doses of clomid and/or high doses of Femara...
My doc recommended I see a fertility specialist but insurance (surprise, surprise) won't cover any of it... and I can't afford it.

So I am gonna try herbals... I've done some research, but I'm looking for some opinions on what to try first.

About a year ago, for two months only, I took Vitex and nothing happened. I'm willing to take it again and just give it more time.
I've also considered cinnamon & black cohosh.

Any other suggestions?

I'd love to take the D-Chiro but it's not in the budget right now.

So... I'd love some suggestions... also please suggest dosage (I can't find a decent dosage on black cohosh ANYWHERE!!).
Thanks a bunch ladies!

I got PG with DS#2, DS#3, and my current PG by doing candida control (taking herbs and supplements that kill candida). Check out the links in my sig.

Did you respond to the meds your doc had you on? Meaning did you O ever?
Black Cohosh is a decent phytoestrogen.
I would recommend reading Susun Weed's website for fertility and overall women's health. Its www.susunweed.com she's also wrote Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Years, and it is full of great information. It is very natural.
