Zinc is 41.6 mg
Folid acid 300

I haven't taken my usual .8 Folic Acid today don't want to take too much. But my dr said that this one would be better than elevit and said that it is worth a go. I can't really take anything else.]]> Tue, 09 Nov 2010 09:19:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1195713&title=any-more-tips#1195713 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1195696&title=any-more-tips#1195696 Author: GuestGuest

Peaches those conceiving vitamins can be a bit of a crock because generally the dosage of all of the vitamins in it are so low they aren't really going to have much of an effect. eg: how much folic acid and zinc are in it? ]]> Tue, 09 Nov 2010 09:08:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1195696&title=any-more-tips#1195696 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1195290&title=any-more-tips#1195290 Author: Nutella

Have you had internal ultrasound around when you are ovulating to check that the follicles are the right size...in fact I think I went a few days in a row to check growth.
We also did the testing to see if DHs little swimmers were swimming in my CM...man that was a hoot (not).

so I went to the health shop and I looked at the vitex BUT my cycles are pretty normal the only thing abnormal about them is the erratic temps so I thought I had better talk to my dr before getting it so I got something else instead. I got some Blackmores Pre-conception. It has:
Folic Acid
Vit B2
Vit B1
Zinc
Selenium
Vit B5
Vit B12
Fish oil
Vit E (a biggie for me with my med history)
Vit D3 and few others

It looks pretty good, so raced home called my dr, and mentioned about Vitex and what I grabbed instead. She said she wouldn't think Vitex would do much for me (she has seen my charts)and wouldn't be good for my cancer history. she said start taking these vitamins I got today and from next cycle onwards for a few months she will do blood tests to make sure I'm ovulating when I'm meant to etc etc but she said we will talk about it in more detail when I go in on Thursday, she mentioned clomid and I said if we did go down that road that we couldn't afford the monitored cycles so I guess I will just see what happens with these blood tests etc and see what she says.

Others probably know more than me but in simple terms it is meant to improve blood flow which can then improve the uterine lining.

Shezzey put a good link in the infertility section a while ago about natural options. Have a read of this, although it is pretty long!

it is very frsutrating, what does the aspirin do?

I have often wondered if the swimmers have met the eggs on several occassions and it just isn't sticking??? It was when I had a few bad AF's on those occassion it was quite sore and had quite a few clots but then I just figured it was my imagination??]]> Mon, 08 Nov 2010 09:58:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194833&title=any-more-tips#1194833 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194827&title=any-more-tips#1194827 Author: jazzy

Ok cool, just seems odd that you never had probs before and now you are right? How frustrating! Have you tried low dose aspirin? That can help with implantation if the problem is that the egg is fertilising but not sticking IYKWIM?]]> Mon, 08 Nov 2010 09:51:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194822&title=any-more-tips#1194822 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194816&title=any-more-tips#1194816 Author: peaches21

I'm going to second the naturopath route rather than just trying vitex etc yourself. That way you know you are on the right herbs to sort out your hormones. I can recomend Mother-well I have found them great and I do acupuncture through them too. ]]> Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:42:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194715&title=any-more-tips#1194715 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194609&title=any-more-tips#1194609 Author: peaches21

You could also try going to a naturopath and seeing what they can suggest. Mine put me onto some awesome prenatal vitamins which may have helped us get UTD after nearly 3 years of TTC with unexplained infertility. You can buy them online but I'd recommend going to a professional for advice on which ones will help you. Check out this NFM

I agree with Jazzy about getting monthly BT to check your hormone levels and whether you are actually ov'ing. That's how they (finally) figured out that I didn't have "good quality" ovulation = Clomid = BFP!

We are going to try horny goats weed, both of us are going to take it. Google has heaps of info on it but its meant to help mens little guys (also meant to act like a natural viagra!)

even if DH dont need help with them its meant to help you have more sex and that cant be a bad thing ]]> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 20:37:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194589&title=any-more-tips#1194589 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194500&title=any-more-tips#1194500 Author: peaches21

I wish I had the answers. I have been trying for 4yrs to have one more. I am putting it down to weight & age. I have not been interested in doing anything medical as I have kids.

I can not remember you history, sorry. So I take it you have blood test through out your cycle to make sure you are ov. I would get your Dr to get you to do them for several months.
Chart so you can see an OV pattern & get you timing right, do OPK's, do temps daily.

I agree with freckle about your temps, try vaginal temping.]]> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:44:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194494&title=any-more-tips#1194494 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194485&title=any-more-tips#1194485 Author: peaches21

I'd be tempted to give vitex a go if i was you... your temps look a little erratic so it may help stabilise your hormones if they need it... It has been referred to as a herbal kinda clomid, so if DH isn't keen to try a medical route it could be a good alternative. You can get it at healthfood shops for about 20-30 dollars... ]]> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:11:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194469&title=any-more-tips#1194469 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194454&title=any-more-tips#1194454 Author: peaches21

Hi ladies, yes I am back and ready to give it all another go. Still feeling quite disappointed, we have been TTC for about 2.3 years now, just had a bit of a break this last month and yeah I was kind of hoping that would work but it hasn't. We have had all tests done everything is normal no pcos or anything. So why have we not succeeded yet .
Does anyone have any more tips, DH doesn't want to go medical so it is all on us. Everywhere we look there are new bellies and babies popping up everywhere. Is there any herbal remedies we could try? ]]> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 17:44:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36578&PID=1194454&title=any-more-tips#1194454
