i had been taking fertility medication and had stopped due to some side effects and the had bleeding and spotting continuously for one month. the doctor prescribed iron tablets coz i didn't want more medication.. my hormones were already out of control. well i just had this dessert made of around 100 grams of apricots with 2 tablespoons honey and water, boiled it for 20-30 minutes on sim and blended the mixture and had a cup. next day my bleeding completely stopped and now its been 2 weeks with no bleeding."

MACA ROOT, CHERRY BLOSSOM

10/11/2009: Lauren from Whitehorse, Yt writes: "Two supplements to try in order to get pregnant would be Maca root and cherry blossom. And dont drink soy milk. Soy causes infertility. I love soy milk, but the estrogen levels are to high for people who are trying to get pregnant."

Hi: I love your site and wanted to recommend the addition of a Natural Birth Control/Fertility area. Aside from just the birth control and increasing fertility subjects, there are lots of other side issues involved in this subject matter that could be covered here. (such as helping late periods, etc.) Balancing hormones when coming off of the pill, to alleviate side effects, could also be discussed (and I have some tips there!)

There is a growing interest among women to research these topics, and very little info available. I think your site would be a great resource in which to explore these kinds of methods. Perhaps an emphasized disclaimer could be added as well."

REMEDIES NEEDED

03/23/2010: Lynette from Jacksonville, North Carolina writes: "I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 6 months. Unfortunately I think that my husband is allergic to my bodily fluids because every time after we make love he itches like crazy. His reaction isn't sever like hives or swelling, but it does make him itch. So my main question is that if his body is allergic to me does that mean that my body kills his sperm? We've only been to the doctor for his itching, and I know that I'm fertile because I have 2 children from a prior engagement. If my body is killing his sperm what should I do? We desperately want a child and we don't know what to do that wouldn't involve medications and doctors. Please help, thank you!"

My homeremedy might NOT be the one you want to hear right now, but I feel it's what every woman/man suffering from this fertility problem needs to realize. I'll just try to share my story in HOPES it helps. I'm finding out more than ever hope and faith is always the answers to all tribulations in this life. When I was 15 going on 16, I was told I was Sterile by a DR after a long emergency surgery from a near death situation that almost killed me. I now know clearly the DR felt the need to abuse me more mentally? I GOT married to a man at 17 I now know I shouldn't have, but was young & innocent suffering from a very abusive childhood I didn't understand. I couldn't get pregnant and worried constant about this and heard in my head what that surgeon had repeatedly said. Now to make a long story short. I believe in God and the power of Prayer which involves Always FAITH & HOPE:) My Faith has gotten me this far and by it I was able to get pregnant 4 times, 2 to theraputic abortions, and my last when still doctors said I couldn't get pregnant. My Hala*(which means unexpected gift) Noelani*(which means Beautiful on from heaven) is 11 yrs now. she is was what I call a TRUE miracle baby as I had her at 38 after another doctor said I had to sign a papers saying if I chose to live or she would live. Thank GOD I count on him and NOT man or anything else to cure me. A good diet, less stress of worrying about it, prayer/faith will get you that baby. Sometimes it's the unanswered prayers that seem to save us from terrible mistakes, and believe me I've made many. If NOT for Faith I would have given this beautiful gift up for adoption for a single mother (not by choice), or woman at my age, which is 51 makes it very hard to raise a child. I hope and Pray for you two Rosiebabez88 from Buffalo, Mn. That's what helps Hala & I everyday. GOD BLESS and know I prayed for your needs before I sent this. Take Care, Karen & Hala"

10/14/2009: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, USA replies: "Hi, I know I have suggested acupuncture in other posts for other problems but I would ask you to consider it for helping you get pregnant especially if you say both you and your husband are fertile. Chinese medicine takes a very different approach to the body and the way it works. I have seen it help in countless ways that the mainstream medical world just shrugs their shoulders at. I have seen my acupuncturist help women who could not get pregnant do just that. They also may give you herbs along with the acupuncture to help open energy meridians that may be stagnant. I would do some research in finding a good acupuncturist- ask around, go on acupuncture sites to help locate well-qualified acupuncturists. Also, try to meditate and not be stressed over this although I can only imagine that it is difficult emotionally. Meditation on love, the child you dream of, and if the two of you can do it together, all the more powerful. You are in my thoughts. I do hope this helps."

10/14/2009: Dj from Pdx, Or replies: "Rosie,

If you are taking supplements I would recommend checking the ingredients. Some herbs can prevent pregnancy. Raspberry is an example of an herb that could help or hinder. I hope you are blessed soon."

07/16/2010: Abid from Islamabad, Pakistan replies: "Though for infertility exact cause is to be addressed. However, generally I recommend three remedies for ladies who dont want to undergo medical tests. These remedies in most of the cases work. But one has to undergo for about 2-3 months treatment.

Plz take following remedies from any homeopathic store:-
1. Agnus Castus- Q (7-10) drops in half cup of water, three times a day
2. Sabal serrulata Q(7-10) drops in half cup of water, three times a day
3. Ashoka cordealQ 2-3 drops in half cup of water, three times a day.

If u have otherwise detailed report and exact cause of infertility, then plz let me know for specific remedy"
