I am needing some advice for this cycle! What have you done/ used/ eaten in the past that has worked for you?

Here's what I'm already doing:
Taking 100mg Clomid cd 3-7
drinking nettle tea daily
taking pre-natal vitamins
BDing from cd10-cd20ish
trying to eat lots of colorful fruits and veggies
going for walks when it's nice out
using preseed


Help me out girls....I'll try anything.
I need to do SOMETHING to feel like I am making progress.

Since you mentioned low progesterone, you could try taking maca root powder. It's a food, not an herb - that is supposed to naturally support hormone balance. It tastes malty; add it to a smoothie. Another lady on this board recommended a fertility smoothie with greens - wheat grass is a SUPER fertility booster. I found an energy bar with wheat grass, flax, nuts, seeds & fruit "pro bar super slam" which I eat every day. Food wise, the other thing you can do to boost fertility is to avoid white flour and sugar, go gluten-free. No white bread, or pasta. Avoid dairy, like milk and ice cream and yogurt - anything cold. I know it's hard to give up cheese etc. but try to cut down. Hope this helps!

Are you using OPK's as well to pinpoint O?

For the low progesterone, I use progesterone cream 2 DPO and until 15 DPO unless AF comes.
I also take a couple other vitamins, and will be trying Vitex. Royal Jelly is good too. I found some at Whole Foods. It says it boosts fertility! I am also using Preseed!

GL- Hey do you not have your FB anymore?

I also took royal jelly - excellent fertility booster! It is known to support egg quality.

Are you taking an 81mg aspirin every day? I've heard lots of ladies who were on clomid suggest it on this board. Clomid thins the lining of your uterus, but the baby aspirin will help it get back to it's regular thickness so a little embryo (or two!) can implant.

Baby asprin is a great thing to include in the daily regimen. I have not gotten pg yet but it has helped my cycles so much. Good luck!
