It's been a while....

since I've posted on here but thought I'd throw out a question.

Quick rundown:

Dh and I are on a forced break while saving for IVF with donor eggs or PGD. I lost 3 babies in '07 because my eggs are bad. Basically I had an eating disorder while growing up that caused the damage. My cycles are back to normal from weight gain, therapy, a nutritionist, etc. I've been at my ideal weight now for 2 years. We have decided to try on our own while we wait, using herbs etc.

So what herbs do I need for hormonal balance, ovulation and overall good reproductive health?

My hypothalamic gland produces all my hormones, it just doesn't regulate them correctly at the right times in my cycle. So I don't ovulate alot of the time. The weight gain has helped that, but I need extra help.

I did get pg in '02 while drinking fertility tea. But sadly m/c that baby as well. I didn't know I was pg until I m/c at home. The drs. think my progesterone was too low at that time. I have also used Maca, which regulated my cycles and gave me more energy. I did try Ovulex for a few months but that ceased my periods.

If anyone out there has an idea where I could start I would be grateful. I'm not looking for a miracle, just a little extra boost while we try au naturale.....

Thanks, sorry so long!

have you tried fertily blend?

it may sound crazy but some women are able to regulate by taking bcp continuously so they dont have a period...most go 3 months others 6

we actualy did this ...i went 7 months then when i came off i tried epo 1,300mg twice a day and took b6 daily along with a prenatle. did the trick!
