Call me crazy but...

I've decided to go back on natural fertility therapy. I tried it once before and it regulated my periods somewhat but no BFP... I have heard that it can take a while for it to work and I was only on it for about 3 months...

I saw my doctor the other day and the submucosal fibroid will need to come out before we can go for our final IVF attempt so I thought what the hell have I got to loose! I may as well give it a go...

But I am wondering if anyone has used natural therapy and got a BFP from it????

Do you mean alternative & holistic medicine?

yes I mean alternative therapy... its based on herbs to help improve sperm and egg quality. I'm really hoping there are some success stories out there...

I have not personally tried alternative therapies, but read a book called "Making Babies" that presented both alternative and standard therapies. there were lots of success stories in the book. I really liked the book and felt it gave me an overall better understanding of the processes. I did buy Maca, but it gave me a headache, so I stopped it. May try it again in the future. I also bought vitex, but haven't started it yet.

I have tried vitex for 6 months and then it seemed like my PCOS really reduced when on the ultrasound scan.,.but then i moved on to mainstream treatment, but then no BFP so far! :(

If you have to stop fertility treatments anyway, then it's worth a shot.
I have issues with thin endometrial lining, so last month I added some holistic therapies, including pomegranate juice and red raspberry leaf tea. My lining was the thickest that it has ever been! (I still didn't get a BFP, but it helped me feel more in control, and as if I was actively doing something to help my situation).
