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!

Does anyone have advice on when to buy flight tickets?
I'm planning a bachelorette party in Las Vegas for October. We're planning on flying from Houston on a Thursday and returning home on Sunday. With rising fuel prices, would it be cheaper to purchase tickets now, or wait until last minute? I know that it's cheaper to fly during the week, but all of the girls work and have limited vacation days. Any advice?Does anyone have advice on when to buy flight tickets?
Southwest usually has really good early fares and they are now only booking through Oct 30th. They are called Fun Fares, so I would get a move on it if possible. They still are not charging for one bag either. All the other carriers are charging up to $25 for each additional bag, no matter what the cost, so pack light!
PS - I have a posting on Craigslist now for $437 worth of airfare for $400! Saving $40 will be nice for those coctails for sure! Let me know if you are interested. I only do paypal :)Does anyone have advice on when to buy flight tickets?
Now.
Try Southwest out of Hobby.. because, if the prices go down, you can change fares without a penalty. Also check Southwest Vacations to bundle your air/hotel/car and if 10 or more are traveling, go for a group rate (on regular or vacation travel).
You can generally change your tickets for a lower priced fare with all of the other airlines but, by the time they hit you with a 'change fee,' you're probably better off with the higher fare.
Have fun!
Orbitz.com - I used this site when travelling in the US. I would also recommend looking at individual airlines website so see if any have sales or offers rather than just using seach engines.
Last minute tickets can be cheaper but you risk not getting them. Purchase in advance. Tickets are cheaper.

How much nutritional advice can i give without a nutritionist's license?
I am a recently certified personal fitness instructor (through W.I.T.S.) and I can not seem to find a definitive answer as to how in depth my dietary advice can be without getting into possible legal liability. I realize the obvious answer would be ';None';, but that means I wouldn't be doing my job as best as I could be. I have a thorough and concrete knowledge of nutrition, I merely lack the credentials for now.How much nutritional advice can i give without a nutritionist's license?
Hello, my name is Rachel, I am also a personal trainer, but through AFFA, and I have worked with many people who have asked me what they should eat. When people ask me that question I don't give them meal plans, we are not allowed to do that. What we can do is tell them what to add to their meal plan, such as, 20-30 grams of fiber, balance carbohydrates with their protein and fat, try to avoid trans-fatty foods, limit sat. fat foods and eat all different colors of fruits and vegetables. Also, if you are not familiar with the food pyramid, print one out, that was made from trained perfessionals. If you give your clients that print out it gives them a chance to pick out what they like to eat.How much nutritional advice can i give without a nutritionist's license?
all you have to do is let your client know you're not a licensed nutritionist, but you have the common sense and the knowledge due to the nature of your job that you can give them very good ';advice';. After that you can say as much as you want

What is some advice to transition to working for a company to working from home?
I'm going to be working for my husband doing his admin stuff. He'll have more time making actual sales, and we're expecting the money he's going to make to cover our family. What do we need to do to get ready for the transition?What is some advice to transition to working for a company to working from home?
I own a small service business, and when I am not actually working at a client's home, I am working on all the other aspects of running my business from my home office. I have been doing this for a year and a half now, and it has been one long learning experience. I can share a few bits of advice.
For one thing, definitely set up a home office area that is to be used for nothing else, and where you can work undisturbed. I like to have a radio or small TV in my office, just for some background noise and so I don't feel too isolated - but that's a personal choice for me. Set up your work environment as works best for you.
Have a plan so that you can avoid the temptation to do work around the house, taking care of children or pets, or run out for a ';quick errand';...when you should be working. It is nice to not have a commute to deal with, and you can take care of personal things during your designated break times. For these reasons, you can find more time in the day to get these sorts of things done. However, if you want your business endeavor to be successful, you must have the ability to be disciplined in getting your work done and have designated times to focus only on your work. It is fun to be able to make your own schedule, but it is challenging when you realize that ';your own'; schedule will have much to do with client's needs and the needs of vendors, banks, etc...more so than your own preferences. Just something to keep in mind.

What is the best advice for a woman who will travel Cuba?
I'm planning to go to cuba in May. I've never traveled alone before. Is it ok for a woman to travel alone there? I heard that Cuba is safe but these days I'm scared of course I'm excited though... I want you to give me some tips.What is the best advice for a woman who will travel Cuba?
I've been there 3 times; by myself as a single woman twice, and with my mid-sixty-year-old mom the last time. It's been easy to get around and the local people are wonderful. Public transportation for tourists is very good and you can try the modes the locals use, but they are usually overcrowded...though very cheap. I lived there for 4 months and had absolutely no problems in any of the cities I was in.
Staying in casa particulars (private homes) is a good, inexpensive way to stay in various parts of the country. I never had to reserve for this accomodation, but for your first night in Cuba it's comforting to have your reservation at a hotel that a taxi can take you to. Casas cost about $20-$25 US/night, but you use Cuban Convertible Pesos to pay. Don't take US money, unless you can afford the 12% exchange fee that the gov't is now charging for American dollars. It's better to use Canadian $$, Canadian traveller's cheques, your Credit Card (through a non-American bank), or your debit card.
I'm a BIG fan of Cuba...GO...and enjoy yourself without worry.What is the best advice for a woman who will travel Cuba?
As when going to any area outside of the area you currently live in, always stay safe. Make sure that you never travel with people that you don't know, and don't drink. Make sure you follow their customs (if they have anything special-- such as covering your arms if the law says so), and keep a good hold onto any of your personal information.
Take lots of condoms with you.
dont belive them
Well, I'm From Cuba I moved to The U.S 5 years ago (my mom is fully Cuban and my dad is American) well cuba is an Ok place now just be careful and there are some good parts in cuba and some bad!natural lipstick

What is the best advice for introduce foods?
We have started cereal and oatmeal but I would like advice on the best way to introduce meals.
Example: Keep with cereal and add something new for lunch. I just would like some help schuduling in new foods.What is the best advice for introduce foods?
When I was doing cereal I would wait 3 hours from nursing/formula until cereal, then nurse or formula about 1 hour later. When I got up to about 1/4 cup of cereal, I could wait about 2. Then I start adding 1/8 cup veggies....gradually increasing ato 1/4 cup. Then I could wait about 2 1/2 hours. When I got through several veggies (4 days each to rule out any allergies)...I start with 1/8 cup fruit and gradually increased to 1/4 cup. Now I can go 3 hours from solids to next nurse/formula. So twice a day I do 1/4 c. cereal, veg, and fruit. Then nurse 4 times a day.

Hope this helps. Just e-mail if you have anymore questions.What is the best advice for introduce foods?
Try mixing mild flavored fruit purees into the cereal. Bannas%26amp; apples. Try yogurt too, very healthy. Stay away from yucky tasting things like peas%26amp; meats This will make your little eater aprehensive. You can also add mashed potatos %26amp; sweet potatoes. Butternut squash is another baby fav. One thing at a time, but pretty soon you'll be able to stick whatever you're having for dinner in the blender for baby.
Don't just try to feed baby straight solids right away. I introduced solids IN the rice cereal first. My daughter gradually started to notice the different flavors and after she got a little more used to the new flavors, I gave them to her food group at a time... Like only fruits for breakfast, a subtle veggie for lunch or dinner. Soon, my daughter was eating straight from the jar and loved it! I did still feed her cereal with fruit mixed in for breakfast though. That continued until she was about 6-7 months old since I was still nursing. I hope that helps, if you need more, feel free to email me! Good luck!
It all depends on your baby. Is your baby really ready for all these new foods? I am assuming your baby is ready for some solids because your baby is eating cereal. For introducing new foods you should: Introduce other solids gradually, one at a time, waiting at least three days after each new food. This way you'll get a heads-up if your baby has an allergic reaction to one of them (signs of an allergy may include diarrhea, a bloated tummy, increased gas, or a rash). If there's a family history of allergies, or your baby develops an allergic reaction during this process, start waiting up to a week between new foods. Best of luck to you!!!
You can add a new food every 3-4 days. If your baby is resistant to new things, offer the new food before the cereal, when she/he is most hungry.
I give my 7 month old....
Cereal and a bottle of milk for breakfast
then for lunch she gets 2.5 ounces of a vegi and 2.5 ounces of a fruit. and 4 ounces of milk.
then the next feeding *between lunch and dinner* she gets 6 ounces of milk and 2.5 ounces of fruit.
For dinner, she gets cereal and 2.5 ounces of of fruit and some milk.
I was told from my daughters ped. to start out on Gerber 1st foods....vegis, and once your child has ate all the vegis then you can introduce the fruits. Then once they have had both of them for awhile, you can introduce the 'desserts, and puddings and such';
Vegis include...Peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots. * I think thats it* and fruits are....peaches, pears, applesauce, bananas.
And because of allergies her DR told me to wait 5-7 days before introducing a new food.
Good Luck!
