What? Packing it in on all those tests? Not really huh? Just hedging your bets. Well, that's not a bad idea either.
In addition to the modern technology, you'd like to look a little deeper into your problem. Perhaps Mother Nature can help you get pregnant where fertility drugs, surgery and other modern options have failed.
Certainly many couples have either in addition to or in place of all the testing searched for more natural ways. This chapter only has the space to deal with a very few of these ideas.
But the point of the chapter isn't so much to present you with every possible natural option available to you. It's more a primer of non-conventional and traditional sources to kick start your thinking along these lines.
Once you start looking at infertility from these other viewpoints, you may discover another exciting option -- one not mentioned here -- that might work wonders for your specific case.
Many couples, sensing an imbalance in the hormonal workings, choose to supplement their diets with herbal remedies. The hope is that the phytonutrients and other active substances will help promote a fuller functioning of their reproductive system.
Before I even talk about specific herbs, which I'm about to do, you should never take any herbs without consulting with your family health care
practitioner first. This is especially true if you're currently taking any prescription medication.
While herbs seldom produce adverse effects when taken according to proper directions, certain medications and specific herbs should not be combined. Consult with both your health care practitioner to discover if any of your prescription drugs falls into this category and also consult with a licensed herbalist. This latter professional can also guide you to herbs that may ultimately be even better for your situation than the ones you have discovered. And she can also help guide you in just the right amounts to take in your particular situation.
If you aren't aware of any herbalists in your area, then talk to the staff at a nearby health food store. Chances are they know of several professional individuals who can help you.
