natural suggestions?

[onyxravnos]

This has probably been asked before but I'm going to ask anyway.

So this is for a pal of mine. She has not been trying not to conceive for about a year now. (does that make sence?) I've tried to give her the basic tips... take prenatels eat right, quit smoking ciggs/weed. dont drink. ditto for would-be dad. etc etc I've also had he watch her cycle which tends to be pretty much on time every month. she isn't taking her temp or anything like that and I really doubt she is going to start...

they have both done some basic testing but nothing abnormal showed up for either of them.
any other natural ideas to help get things going?

Would she be interested in acupuncture? There are a lot of studies saying that it helps. Maybe she would look into the book "The Infertility Cure" by Randine Lewis....but she would need to be up for charting!

I completely agree w/ gemasita. The Infertilty Cure book is awesome.

If they haven't already, you might also suggest having an RE or nmd run hormone tests during her cycle - I think mine did it mid-cycle, and at the end to see what my hormone levels were doing. It could be something really simple that can be corrected with something like vitex. :
