You may want to try traditional chinese medicine (TCM). Since men are responsible for 40% of the infertility problems we face, I've included herbal remedies for women and men.





Herbal Medicine Treatments for Infertility in Women





A variety of herbs have been shown to stimulate the female hormones and functions necessary to conceive. These include:





鈥?Damiana


鈥?Dong quai


鈥?Blue cohosh


鈥?False unicorn root


鈥?Ginseng


鈥?Gotu kola


鈥?Licorice root


鈥?Wild yam root





Avoid false unicorn root and wild yam root if there鈥檚 a chance of pregnancy. Those with high blood pressure should also avoid ginseng and licorice root.





Other remedies for women include tea made from stinging nettle seed, wild raspberry leaf , St. John鈥檚 wort or a mixture of red clover blossoms and peppermint.





Herbal Medicine Treatment for Infertility in Men





For men, herbal treatments are centered on a whole body harmony and vigor as well as stimulation of male reproductive hormones. Some herbs often prescribed for infertility in men include:





鈥?Astragalus extract


鈥?Saw palmetto


鈥?Ginseng


鈥?Damiana


鈥?Sarsaparilla


鈥?Yohimbe





Panax ginseng (also known as Chinese or Korean ginseng) is an excellent herbal infertility treatment and has been used as such for centuries. Clinical tests have shown a marked improvement in sperm count and mobility as well as an abeyance of erectile dysfunction, all of which are major issues of male factor infertility. However, ginseng should be avoided if high blood pressure is an issue.





Erectile dysfunction can also be treated with green oat, also known as avena sativa. Another treatment for sperm issues is the Chinese herb yin yang huo, or aceranthus sagittatum.





All herbal supplements should be taken with food or water. Teas should be steeped for one to four hours. Results vary and usually don鈥檛 begin to manifest until a few weeks have passed.
i just read an article in my obgyn's office today about high fat-real dairy icecream increasing a woman's ovary production. wouldn't that be great it's really true.


i've also been told that missionary and doggie positions are best for conception because of penetration. also, tracking your ovulation is key. you can get the predictor kits from a drugstore or mass discounter (i.e. walmart) to keep track. i know your anxious feelings; my husband and i are in the same boat. best of luck!
