I'm glad someone posted something about herbs. I've been inserting my comments here and there as I know this is a subject that most people balk at. If acupuncture seems to help then why not with the aid of herbs? I do need to stress, though, that one should see an herbologist instead of just taking herbs without knowing what they actually do. I'm seeing one right now to get my periods back on track. I can say that I have ovulated and have gotten pregnant (although had a mc) with the help of herbs and NOT with the shots my doctor gave me. I am FOR western and eastern medicine and I think that more women should look into it.

I agree completely with everything you have said. Also, thank you so much for this video clip, very interesting!

Just want to share my experience with regulating cycles. For years, I only got 10-11 periods a year. Fine by me, since I hated it and the less frequently they came around, the better. But three different ob-gyns couldn't explain my intermittent bleeding between cycles. I just stopped going.

Twenty years later, went to the acupuncturist/herbalist for something totally unrelated. (I had to be dragged in by a friend, after 9 months of a persistent rash. It turned out to be caused by too many chili peppers and dirty frying oil from fast food.) In the first 5 minutes, he said, "You have a hormone imbalance." I gasped, "How did you know?!" He just chuckled, and said he could fix it. Sure enough, he did. I've been regular ever since, with a couple of touch-ups from other acupunturists after I moved away.

Thanks for the link! I'm gonna check that out =)
I was just posting how I started taking multivitamins and HUGE doses of B12, and have been regular since my first monthly cycle that I started taking them. It's been 4 months, and my PCOS symptoms have all but vanished.
I want to see about adding herbs to the mix, so I'm going to be looking for an herbalist to help me out =)

thanks for the info! I attribute conceiving my son almost 3 years ago to accupuncture. Doctor said it was hopeless, because I have low ovarian reserve. Was 40 at the time, and just running out of time. But I got my positive a month after his negative statements. We are trying again and can't afford many acupuncture visits. I actually have more follicles dropping than before! He only wants to do 4 IUI's on clomid, and HCG trigger shot, I am taking DHEA but haven't told him. Did that with my son too. I want to try 2 more times, but without the clomid. Going to use some of the info from that website, but really know I should consult an herbologist, just money is too tight right now. Best of luck to everyone!

So great to hear success stories with this more natural approach. Thanks for sharing!

Tkx. I will check into that. One of my girlfriends is having infertility issues as well and she was seeing an herbalist, who had started her periods again. She went 9 months with one or two, after the herbs she had two in a row. I'm not sure how things are going now, but she adopted a little boy a few months ago and they are awaiting the court date so it can finally be finalized. They didn't have a lot of money either, so they went through the local office of children and youth and the adoption is free. They had classes to take and hords or paperwork, but I prayed for them and the day after their paperwork was stamped approved they got called to pick up their 6 month baby boy.

Just some info.

That is a beautiful story!!! What a gift to give a child a loving place to grow that has no one else!

Thank you for sharing all this info! I have recently made an appointment to begin acupuncture treatments and I'm not really sure what to expect. It's so nice to hear about success stories with a more natural approach with herbs and vitamins :)
