I have been TTC for 3 years. The first problem came up when I was diagnosed with DUB (dysfuncional uterine bleeding). Basically I would bleed for 3 weeks straght, and it wouldnt stop. Right then the dr. put me on progesterone and iron. Took it for a year, no luck. I decided to try some herbal treatments (vitex, maca root, DIM), no luck. So, I called my dr. and he thinks we should try clomid. I've never taken clomid, and I didnt want to b/c of my DUB. I was afraid it would flare up again if I started messing with my hormones again. Basically, have any of you had any side effects from Clomid, and successes, any dissapointments??

I had several attempts with Clomid with no success. After completing 6 cycles (which is the max), I was then put on Metformin. We're planning to start trying again for our 2nd child next year and I am starting on Metformin by the end of the year.

Every person is different. Once your blood work is done, your doctor will be able to determine if Clomid (or a combination of stimulants) are right for you.

I have had friends who were very successful with Clomid alone.

One of the main side effects is that it enlarges your ovaries because it pushes you to ovulate mutilple eggs. I had nausea and headaches for the first 2 attempts ….after that it was fine.

here's some info about clomid…

Guaranteed not to work, no pill or medicine has yet been invented that works; that's a scientific fact. Any one who says there product works are only after making money.

I want to know if anyone has ever taken herbs (and no prescription drugs) and was able to go on to conceive. If so, what kind of herbs did you try and for how long?
I have been reading about different herbs such as Maca that is supposed to regulate a woman's hormones naturally. ***My background I am 28, i do not have kids, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, I produce more estrogen and not enough progesterone, and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time now without any luck. I plan to get insurance at my job in May during open enrollement so I can get fertility medicine but I am hoping that maybe if I try the herbal route that it may work and I can finally be a mommy.
Thank you in advance,
Melissa

Hi! I have been trying to concieve with Pcos for years, have been with Husband for 5 years, I am 29. I have been on 4 rounds of Clomid with no luck, I recently was searching stuff online like natural stuff,because fertility specialists can get expensive, and I bought Ovulex 3 months ago online at there website,www.ovulex.com, I bought a 3 month supply because they have a guarentee on there product so I thought well if it dont work I can still get my money back. I prayed alot and tried to keep in tune with my cycle, I noticed within a month I was ovulating, well I had my last period September 23, and it never showed up in October so I started to test and they were very faint positives so I went to the doctor and I am pregnant 5 weeks and 4 days!! I am still in awe because I have been trying so long and it just happened out of the blue. I encourage you to look into Ovulex because I think it really helped me! Good Luck to you!!

No, they should not be harmful. This combination is used to treat male infertility and prostate problems.

I would advise, however, taking them only after seeing your naturopath. There are various drug/food interactions with some herbs and some meds so you really have to take these things under your health practitioner's supervision.

Currently I do not take any prescriptions meds. I do have high blood pressure and I am not taking any med for that. However I also suffer from low libido. I am taking the following supplements and was hoping someone who KNOWS THERE HERBS can tell me if I am over doing it because I started to spot bleed about a week after taking the following…
MACA 300mg - VITAMIN SHOPPE
DAMIANA LEAVES 450mg -VITAMIN SHOPPE
DONG QUAI 500mg - VITAMIN SHOPPE
I also ordered EROSTAT (seen on TV to increase female libido)
www.erostat.com and it contains the following ingrediants
EROSTAT HERBAL BLEND 500mg has… MUIRA PUAMA ROOT,
DAMIEN, GINKO LEAF, ECHINACEA, PURPUREA TOPS, BROMELAIN, GARLIC BULB, GINGER ROOT, GINSENG MATE, MEADOWSWEET, ST JOHNS WART, VALERIAN ROOT..
PLEASE HELP ME. CANT AFFORD A DR AT THIS TIME BUT WANT TO KEEP THE MAN I HAVE…

I'm on Ortho Tri Cyclin and was considering taking some herbal mood stablizers like Maca Root, or SAM-e. Does Maca Root boost your sex drive? Are either one bad to take along with the pill??

try Holy Basil it is wonderful stuff

none its injurious to health kindly refrain from these kinda herbals and medicines they may give u better results to some extent but will worsen anything else in ur body
