I'm newly TTC, which I'm trying to do on all natural remedies.
I'm currently using NPC to bring on AF. AF came normally, but it's now CD19 and still no O. I'm almost certain it's not going to show up this month...So I'm wondering is this a waste of time? Are there any girls here that have gotten their BFP with only natural remedies?? Or should I just give in and go to DR and start trying fertility treatments?
If you did conceive naturally, what supplements and herbs did you take to help?? TIA

Hi!
The main thing with natural remedies is to remain focussed and not jump of the wagon and it does take a lot of self control and courage.
I tried for 6 long years with fertility medications .. 12 clomid cycles, 6 iui's and 2 ivf with pgd's before I realised it would not work. I gave up everything and tried with natural remedies with success. My dx was PCOS with genetc translocation. My son is now 4 yrs old.
here are somethings I did

1 - Exercise - I took up Yoga - it helped with calming my mind also .. infertility is stressful. Also I walked a lot .. getting close to nature helps .. like a hike through the woods, beach walks, parks etc.. the green and the silence is very helpful

2 - Diet - I gave up refined foods .. no white flour, white rice or sugar. You can get really innovative with organic foods. Drank green juice .. get all the greens you can find in the market .. put it in the juicer with an apple or carrot and drink a big glass everyday.. I even put wheat grass .. It's an acquired taste :-) .. takes a lot of patience to clean the juicer though
Eat lots of fruits and salads and steamed veggies .. it kind of detoxes your body

3 - Feng shui .. I cleaned up lot of clutter in my house .. you don't know how good it feels throwing out junk .. kind of clears up space for new things to happen in life - Clear your clutter with feng shui

4 - Music - Soothing new age music

5 - Books - Getting Pregnant Naturally: Healthy Choices To Boost Your Chances Of Conceiving Without Fertility Drugs

6 - Supplements - I took b complex 50 mg, pharmaceutical grade fish oil (costs @ $40), solgars women plus multi vitamins .. tried vitex, flaxseed also

7 - Prayers if you believe in them

There are a few other books .. browse through local libraries .. I will post the names soon.
I hope this helps

Good luck
Jay

Beside DS#1 which came before PCOS, I achieved 3 all natural pregnancies, 2 of which I carried to term. I posted details in the following thread:
Alt. Remedies TTC Successes and Failures!

Good luck, I hope you can achieve success soon.
