TTC as Natural as Possible...please help!

[semi-newlywedTTC]

Hi,

I'm new to this site but hoping I can garner some new information. My husband and I have been TTC for over a year now. We've seen a fertility specialist who, of course, would like us to start IVF next month.

We are desperately looking to have a baby soon, but would love for it to happen naturally! My husband and I are both taking daily doses of vitamins and I receive accupuncture once a week. Is there anything else (aside from good sleep and exercise) that I should be doing? I'm looking into the Mayan Uterus Massages.

Are there any other herbs or remedies that anyone can suggest (for either myself or my husband)?

I'm trying to stay positive...but it's very disheartening

Thank you!

There is plenty of stuff you can try depending on whether you have problems with specific things.

Do you chart your fertility signs? Do you know if your luteal phase is long enough? Are your cycles regular? Do you know when you ovulate? Do you have enough fertile cervical mucous?

There are all kinds of natural products that can help with different issues listed above, but the important thing is to do the charting first (taking your temps, observing your cervical mucous and cervix position) so you can figure out what would help you most!

certainly charting as a basic first step. Have you read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility"?

lunaception, where you sleep in complete darkness through most of your cycle, and remove the eye shade/introduce a little light when you're about to ovulate.

using an Instead cup after intercourse

green tea and other "natural" products to increase egg white cervical mucous

Try 'Garden of Fertility'
They suggest you eliminate as much soy and transfats as you can in your diets, eat lots of good, whole foods, dairy, meats , etc
Also try the luna ception stuff
